Abstract
In this paper, we claim that spatial understanding is the keypoint in robot manipulation, and propose SpatialVLA to explore effective spatial representations for the robot foundation model. Specifically, we propose Ego3D Position Encoding to inject 3D information into VLA’s input observations, and introduce
