VLA模型新范式：先学运动再学任务，数据效率提升10倍

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models are fundamentally bottlenecked by the scarcity of expert demonstrations -- triplets of observations, instructions, and actions that are costly to collect at scale. We argue that this bottleneck stems from conflating two distinct learning objectives: acquiring physical competence (how to move) and acquiring semantic alignment (what to do). Crucially, only the latter requires language supervision. Building on this Decomposition Hypothesis, we propose Task-Agnostic Pretraining (TAP), a two-stage framework that first learns transferable motor priors from cheap, unlabeled interaction data -- including discarded off-task trajectories and autonomous robot play -- via a self-supervised Inverse Dynamics objective. A lightweight second stage then grounds these priors in language using minimal expert data. On the SIMPLER benchmark, TAP matches models trained on over 1M expert trajectories while using orders of magnitude less labeled data, yielding a 10% absolute gain over standard behavior cloning. On a real-world WidowX platform, TAP retains 25% success under camera perturbations where internet-scale baselines collapse to 0%, demonstrating that task-agnostic pretraining produces robust, transferable physical representations and offers a scalable path forward for Embodied AI.
