Cross-View Action Consistency for Camera-Robust Vision-Language-Action Policies

Abstract

Vision-language-action (VLA) policies fine-tuned from a fixed scene camera can fail when the camera is moved, even when the task, objects, language, and robot state are unchanged. We study scene-camera viewpoint robustness using only a scene RGB image, language, and proprioception, without camera labels, extrinsics, depth, or point-cloud inputs. The wrist stream is masked throughout to prevent an unperturbed visual shortcut from confounding attribution to scene-camera variation. For flow-based VLAs, we propose to regularize the action-flow velocity field, the quantity directly integrated to generate continuous action chunks. We construct action-equivalent view pairs by resetting original LIBERO demonstrations to the same MuJoCo state and rendering nominal and perturbed scene-camera views. Both views are supervised by flow matching, while a cross-view loss encourages their predicted action-flow velocities to agree at the same sampled flow coordinates. On the LIBERO-Plus camera-perturbation track, our method reaches 87.2±0.4% (4,797 rollouts per seed across 3 training seeds), +7.4pp over flow-matching-only training on the same paired data (79.8±0.8%, also 3 seeds) and +12.5pp over naive mixed-camera SFT, while maintaining nominal-camera ID performance (95.0±0.8%; same-data FM-only: 95.0±4.3%). A shuffled-pair control collapses to 25.8%, showing that the gain depends on action-equivalent pairing. On a real robot, we evaluate three tabletop tasks with 10 rollouts per task and camera placement; held-out-camera success improves from 53.3% to 74.4% under the same single-scene-RGB inference interface.
