Abstract

RynnVLA-Latent leverages latent actions derived from diverse video to pretrain large vision-language-action policies, achieving high success across simulated and real-world robot benchmarks without embodiment-specific tuning.

Scaling vision-language-action (VLA) models is constrained by scarce action-labeled demonstrations and incompatible control spaces across robot embodiments. We present RynnVLA-Latent, a framework that turns heterogeneous interaction videos into scalable supervision for robot policy pretraining. At its core, RynnLAM learns continuous, 3D-grounded latent actions from visual transitions without requiring native robot controls. By combining residual future-feature prediction, camera-compensated 3D-flow supervision, and camera-motion decoupling, RynnLAM encourages representations that capture control-relevant motion rather than appearance changes alone. We apply RynnLAM to 30.1K hours of human, robot, and simulation videos, producing 745.52M latent-action descriptors. RynnVLA-Latent then learns to predict latent-action chunks from visual observations and language through flow matching, before adapting its pretrained backbone and action expert to embodiment-specific robot actions. The resulting 4B policy achieves 98.8% success on LIBERO, 84.7% on LIBERO-Plus without benchmark-specific adaptation, 51.9% average success across five VLABench tracks, and 88.6% average success on the RoboTwin 2.0 bimanual benchmark. It also achieves the highest observed success rates among the compared methods on six real-world manipulation tasks across dexterous-hand and mobile-gripper platforms. Together with representation ablations and data-scaling results, these findings demonstrate the potential of latent-action supervision for scaling robot policy learning beyond native action-labeled data.

Our contributions are as follows:

  • 3D-grounded latent-action supervision. We introduce RynnLAM, which combines residual feature prediction, camera-compensated 3D-flow supervision, and camera-motion decoupling to construct continuous transition representations without native robot-action labels.
  • Scalable VLA pretraining from heterogeneous video. We develop RynnVLA-Latent, which learns shared latent-action targets from 30.1K hours of human, robot, and simulation videos, and transfers the pretrained policy to native robot controls through embodiment-specific post-training.
  • Representation and policy-level validation. We demonstrate control predictability through frozen-representation probes, competitive manipulation performance across simulation and real-world platforms, and improvements with increasing latent-action pretraining data.
