Title: LoopVLA: Learning Sufficiency in Recurrent Refinement for Vision-Language-Action Models

Abstract:
arXiv:2605.09948v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Current Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models typically treat the deepest representation of a vision-language backbone as universally optimal for action prediction. However, robotic manipulation is composed of many frequent closed-loop spatial adjustments, for which excessive abstraction may waste computation and weaken low-level geometric cues essential for precise control. Existing early-exit strategies attempt to reduce computation by stopping at
