Abstract (arXiv)
In bimanual robotic manipulation, task-relevant visual information varies with the task stage and context, while the interaction of the two arms shifts between independent and coordinated modes, making policy learning challenging. However, existing monolithic VLA policies typically process multi-view observations and distinct bimanual interaction patterns without explicitly adapting their visual conditioning or action-generation structure. To address this issue, we propose a bimanual manipulation VLA framework based on Dual-Level Structural Decomposition. The View-Selective Visual Router dynamically adjusts wrist-view contributions to emphasize relevant visual cues, while the Interaction-Aware Action Mixture-of-Experts decomposes action generation into coordinated and arm-wise pathways to adapt to varying bimanual interaction modes. We evaluate the proposed method on six simulated bimanual manipulation tasks in RoboTwin 2.0 and three long-horizon real-world tasks. Our model improves the overall average success rate over a monolithic baseline by 27.7% in simulation and 43.3% in real-world evaluation, while consistently outperforming single-module variants across both settings. These results demonstrate that jointly considering selective visual processing and explicit decomposition of bimanual interaction structures provides an effective inductive bias for robust bimanual manipulation.
