Beyond Data Scaling: Representation-Centric Continued Pre-training for Vision-Language-Action Models
Scaling robot data is crucial for building generalist Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models, yet robot trajectories are harder to scale than web-scale image-text data because embodied collection is costly and sparsely covers the physical world. This makes representation quality a central bottleneck: under a fixed robot-d...
