VLA-Adapter is the official implementation of a tiny-scale vision-language-action model that bridges vision-language representations to robot actions without large backbones or extensive pre-training. It includes checkpoints, LIBERO benchmark models, and real-world ALOHA deployment support.

Use cases

  • train a small vision-language-action model for robot manipulation
  • deploy a VLA model on ALOHA hardware
  • evaluate robot policies on the LIBERO benchmark
  • run robot control inference without a 7B backbone
  • fine-tune a lightweight VLA model for a robotic arm

When to choose

  • you need efficient robot manipulation policies without large-scale pre-training
  • you want state-of-the-art LIBERO results with a tiny model
  • you have limited GPU resources for VLA training

When to avoid

  • you need a general-purpose large VLA backbone
  • your robot hardware is not yet among the supported platforms
  • you need non-manipulation embodied tasks
