CometVLA: Co-Training on an Embodied Data Pyramid towards Physical Understanding

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Aug 31, 2026 · UTC

Vision-language-action (VLA) models remain brittle in manipulation tasks that require physical commonsense. Current physical VQA data is typically disembodied and misaligned with robot action domains. Egocentric videos are used only as auxiliary pre-training. It remains unclear whether improved VLM physical understanding actually benefits downstream action generation. Therefore, we present CometVLA to close this gap. We construct CometData and CometBench, an embodied physical VQA corpus and benchmark strictly aligned with the robot's action data and embodiment. We introduce Global Action Prior
