InSight: Self-Guided Skill Acquisition via Steerable VLAs
Quick summary
arXiv:2606.24884v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision-language-action (VLA) models excel at robot manipulation via imitation learning, but adapting them to new tasks often requires additional human demonstrations, which can be costly or infeasible. Meanwhile, vision-language models (VLMs) offer semantic task understanding but lack the physical grounding required for execution. To bridge this gap, we present InSight, a framework for self-guided skill acquisition that uses a VLM to identify primitives missing from a VLA's repertoire, grounds the VLM's proposals through robot execution
