Abstract
EventVLA addresses long-horizon robotic manipulation challenges by introducing a sparse visual evidence memory framework with visual anchors and dynamic Keyframe Evidence Memory module for improved task performance.
Memory remains a critical bottleneck for long-horizon robotic manipulation, as standardVision-Language-Action(VLA) policies often fail when task-relevant cues become occluded or unobservable over time. While existingmemory-augmented methodsutilize historical context, they either suffer from severe information bottlenecks, incur high latency via decoupled dual systems, or rely on unselective buffers that accumulate massive visual redundancies. To address these limitations, we introduce EventVLA, an end-to-end framework founded on the concept of sparsevisual evidencememory that comprises two core components: foundationalvisual anchorsto retain initial and short-term contexts, and a dynamicKeyframe Evidence Memory(KEM) module. Specifically, KEM directly predicts future keyframe probabilities from the VLA’slatent embeddingsto autonomously capture and store sparse, task-critical visual events. This foresight-driven mechanism empowers the policy to dynamically evaluate the futurecausal utilityof current observations, preserving transientvisual evidencebefore it becomes unobservable. Furthermore, we propose RoboTwin-MeM, adiagnostic benchmarkspecifically designed to evaluatenon-Markovian manipulation taskswith interactivevisual evidence. Extensive evaluations show that across 17 memory-requiring simulation tasks and 4 real-world bimanual tasks, EventVLA achieves an average success rate improvement of +40% over state-of-the-art memory-augmented VLAs.
