KineVLA: Towards Kinematics-Aware Vision-Language-Action Models with Bi-Level Action Decomposition

Description

In this paper, we introduce a novel kinematics-rich vision-language-action (VLA) task, in which language commands densely encode diverse kinematic attributes (such as direction, trajectory, orientation, and relative displacement) from initiation through completion, at key moments, unlike existing action instructions that capture kinematics only coarsely or partially, thereby supporting fine-grained and personalized manipulation. In this setting, where task goals remain invariant while execution
