Category review. One base DiT predicts action chunks and sparse future end-effector change/progress; a separate residual controller uses those predictions and observed feedback to refine actions. Reading evidence

AT A GLANCE

Contribution

SC-VLA adds progress and end-effector-change predictions to a GR00T N1.5-based flow policy, then freezes it and trains a SAC residual controller. Predicted motion supplies a directional reward whose influence decreases with predicted progress. Simulation supports both stages; physical ARX5 trials test only the predictive base policy. The evidence supports improved executed manipulation under the reported protocols, with unresolved reward and evaluation details.
