Robots Need More than VLA and World Models

arXiv:2606.06556v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Generalist robot intelligence is often framed as a policy-scaling problem: collect more robot demonstrations, train larger Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models, and expect broader generalisation. In this position paper, we argue that this framing is incomplete. The central bottleneck is not only policy learning, but the absence of mechanisms that convert the world's abundant unstructured behavioural data into grounded robot supervision. Human motion, internet video, simulation rollouts, and interactive demonstrations contain rich information abou…
