CLAP: Direct VLM-to-VLA Adaptation via Language-Action Grounding

Vision-language-action models (VLAs) inherit semantic capabilities from pretrained VLMs, yet large-scale post-training on robot data and architectural modifications can reshape the backbone so extensively that it becomes difficult to isolate what the VLM contributes to control. Directly converting pretrained VLMs into VLAs with minimal architectural change offers a more transparent path to understanding how VLM capabilities transfer across model scales. The core obstacle is output-distribution…
