Researchers have developed a new Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model called Camera-Centric VLA (CamVLA) that can operate without explicit camera calibration. This model predicts camera-centric actions and a hand-eye matrix, allowing it to generate robot base-frame actions from a single monocular RGB image. CamVLA has demonstrated improved success rates in diverse, unseen viewpoints across simulation and real-world robot data, making it more robust and easier to deploy in real-world scenarios where camera setups often change.
