Vision-Language Models Are Joint Denoisers in Robotic Action Generation
Diffusion-based vision-language-action (VLA) models cascade pretrained vision-language models (VLMs) with diffusion action experts, but typically restrict the VLM to providing static conditioning. This separation limits how much pretrained perception and reasoning can guide action generation, especially in out-of-distribution settings. We introduce JADE, a Joint Action DEnoiser that enables the…
