Geometry Conditioning in an Embodied SLM: Training Controls and Robustness Diagnostics in a 0.8B Hybrid Model

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 6, 2026 · UTC

We study how physical-state inputs affect a 0.8B hybrid language model adapted for manipulation with 6.2M trainable parameters. Six conditions are trained on three LIBERO-Spatial tasks and evaluated over three seeds and 540 held-out rollouts. Conditioning recurrent decay gates on geometric increments yields 28.9% success, compared with 36.7% when those increments are shuffled during training and 24.4% without explicit object/goal geometry. Both geometry policies receive correct inputs at evaluation. A token adapter using the same increments scores 27.8%; differences vary across seeds and remai
