TEMPO: Learning Temporal Context for Dynamic Robot Manipulation

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 15, 2026 · UTC

Vision-language-action (VLA) models have achieved impressive performance in quasi-static manipulation, but struggle in dynamic manipulation tasks because they operate on a single observation at inference time. We identify two representational failures that underlie this limitation. The first is motion ambiguity, where a single observation does not include scene dynamics and therefore cannot anticipate the future state of moving objects. The second is state aliasing, where visually similar observations from different points in a task require different actions. We argue that these failures persi
