Abstract
Efficiently predicting motion plans directly from vision remains a fundamental challenge in robotics, where planning typically requires explicit goal specification and task-specific design. Recent vision-language-action (VLA) models infer actions directly from visual input but demand massive computational resources, extensive training data, and fail zero-shot in novel scenes. We present a unified image-space diffusion policy handling both meter-scale navigation and centimeter-scale manipulation via multi-scale feature modulation, with only 5 minutes of self-supervised data per task. Three key innovations drive the framework: (1) Multi-scale FiLM conditioning on task mode, depth scale, and spatial attention enables task-appropriate behavior in a single model; (2) trajectory-aligned depth prediction focuses metric 3D reasoning along generated waypoints; (3) self-supervised attention from AnyTraverse enables goal-directed inference without vision-language models and depth sensors. Operating purely from RGB input (2.0 GB memory, 10 Hz), the model achieves robust zero-shot generalization to novel scenes while remaining suitable for onboard deployment.

Operating purely from RGB input (2.0 GB memory, 10 Hz), the model achieves robust zero-shot generalization to novel scenes while remaining suitable for onboard deployment.
These technical specifications are directly stated in the abstract.
partial
the model achieves robust zero-shot generalization to novel scenes
This is a key performance claim made in the abstract and supported by experimental results.
partial
with only 5 minutes of self-supervised data per task
This data efficiency is a significant claim made in the abstract.
partial
Recent vision-language-action (VLA) models infer actions directly from visual input but demand massive computational resources, extensive training data, and fail zero-shot in novel scenes.
This is presented as a limitation of prior work in the abstract, motivating the proposed solution.
