PaCo-VLA: Passivity-Shielded Compliance Prior for Contact-Rich Vision-Language-Action Manipulation

arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2606.00515v1 Announce Type: cross Contact-rich manipulation demands both high-level semantic reasoning and the safe regulation of high-frequency contact dynamics. While Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models provide unprecedented semantic generalization, their low-rate outputs lack the reliability required for direct plant authority in force-sensitive tasks. To bridge this semantic-to-control gap, we
