Abstract

Visual-Language-Action (VLA) models represent a paradigm shift in embodied AI, yet existing frameworks often struggle with imprecise spatial perception, suboptimal multimodal fusion, and instability in reinforcement learning. To bridge these gaps, we propose OmniVLA-RL, a novel architecture that leverages a Mix-of-Transformers (MoT) design to synergistically integrate reasoning, spatial, and action experts. Furthermore, we introduce Flow-GSPO, which reformulates flow matching as a Stochastic Differential Equation (SDE) process and integrates it with Group Segmented Policy Optimization (GSPO) to enhance action precision and training robustness. Extensive evaluations on the LIBERO and LIBERO-Plus benchmarks demonstrate that OmniVLA-RL achieves decent overall performance and surpasses mainstream existing methods, effectively overcoming the fundamental limitations of current VLA models.
