REFACTOR-VLA proposes a supervised library learning framework for typed motor programs, aimed at addressing the poor performance and difficulty in interpretation of existing Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models such as OpenVLA, π0, RT-2, and RDT-1B due to the lack of behavioral abstraction. The current approach has a core flaw in determining whether two action sequences are “behaviorally equivalent”, and REFACTOR-VLA overcomes this limitation by organizing reusable, well-defined abstractions.
