TL;DR

This thesis investigates what the high level goal predictor should predict, how the low-level policy should consume it, what capabilities it must encode, and how a user might steer it all remain open through three studies that share one object of study: the high-level goal predictor.

PredVLA: Predictive Sensorimotor Modeling for Sub-Million-Parameter Robot Manipulation

A mechanism-by-mechanism transition to the recurrent behavior-cloning baseline shows that replacing the predictive pathway with direct observation input produces the largest single performance drop, accounting for approximately $70\% of the endpoint gap.

Beyond Flat Policies: Hierarchical Post-Training for Embodied Agents in Robotic Manipulation

Hierarchical Robotic Control (HiRoC) is proposed, a hierarchical post-training framework that decouples high-level task planning from low-level action execution and aligns the executor with planner-generated subgoals before reinforcement learning, mitigating the distribution misalignment between planning and execution.

WorldToken: Time-First Sequence Modeling for Robotic Imitation Learning

WorldToken, a time-first policy instantiation that fuses multiview images, proprioception, and task conditioning within each policy timestep into one world token is introduced and its data-scaling and temporal-context behavior under the tested recipes are characterized.
