Abstract (arXiv)

Vision-language-action (VLA) models, world-action models (WAMs), and offline reinforcement learning methods are rapidly expanding the design space of embodied policies, yet turning these algorithms into reliable robot systems remains constrained by fragmented data formats, training stacks, evaluation protocols, inference runtimes, and embodiment-specific interfaces. We present FluxVLA Engine, an open, configuration-driven platform that turns heterogeneous embodied-policy components into a reproducible data-to-deployment workflow. Rather than introducing another policy model, FluxVLA standardizes interfaces for datasets, visual-language and world models, action heads, reward- or advantage-weighted learning, distributed training, simulation evaluation, optimized inference, and robot operators. The engine further integrates compositional dual-arm simulation, scalable automatic data generation, and model-decoupled human-in-the-loop rollout, takeover, correction collection, and reward annotation. For responsive physical execution, it combines Real-Time Chunking (RTC) with accelerated inference backends, lightweight remote GPU serving, and configurable trajectory post-processing. Together, these capabilities connect offline learning, simulation validation, online correction, and real-robot execution through shared and auditable contracts. FluxVLA therefore targets the engineering bottlenecks separating promising embodied-learning algorithms from reproducible evaluation and dependable deployment.
