RoboDrop: Curating VLA Post-Training Data via Local Gradient Compatibility

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 9, 2026 · UTC

Vision--language--action (VLA) models acquire broad generalization through large-scale pretraining, yet adapting them to a new task and robot embodiment still requires post-training on newly collected data. Unlike pretraining, post-training targets task- and embodiment-specific adaptation, making it particularly sensitive to data quality. In practice, collected robot datasets often contain heterogeneous errors, including execution mistakes, sensor drift, and timestamp misalignment, which can impair post-training and policy performance. Manual inspection is costly, while existing data-cleaning
