Title: V-VLAPS: Value-Guided Planning for Vision-Language-Action Models

Abstract:
arXiv:2601.00969v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision-language-action (VLA) models provide strong action priors for robotic manipulation, but their reactive behavior can fail under distribution shift and long-horizon task structure. Recent VLA-guided planning methods improve execution by using pretrained policies to guide tree search, yet node selection still depends heavily on policy priors and visit-count exploration. Consequently, when the policy favors poor actions, the planner la
