OC-VLA++: Monocular Geometry-Guided Cross-View Consistency for Viewpoint-Robust Robotic Manipulation

Abstract

We propose OC-VLA++, an extension of OC-VLA for viewpoint generalization under limited camera coverage. While OC-VLA grounds robot actions in the camera coordinate system to align action supervision with visual observations, camera-space grounding alone can still overfit to the few viewpoints observed during training. OC-VLA++ addresses this limitation by introducing geometry-guided paired-view supervision and an explicit cross-view action-equivariance objective. Given paired observations of the same manipulation scene from geometrically related viewpoints, the model is trained such that their camera-space predictions correspond to the same robot-frame action. This objective explicitly supervises how action predictions should transform across viewpoints, rather than relying solely on image-level augmentation. Experiments demonstrate substantial improvements in unseen-view generalization under limited camera coverage, with performance degrading more gracefully under increasing camera displacement. These results establish cross-view action equivariance as an effective complement to observation-centric action grounding for robust real-world deployment.
