rMuscle: Robotic Muscle Memory for Efficient Vision-Language-Action Model Inference
Factory work is a promising early scenario for embodied AI: assigning repetitive manual jobs to robots has clear economic payoff, and a structured station keeps the jobs tractable for current policies. Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models now dominate as the policy paradigm for these robots. The inference latency of VLA models directly affects robot responsiveness and motion smoothness. However,…
