AnyCamVLA: Zero-Shot Camera Adaptation for Viewpoint Robust Vision-Language-Action Models

arXiv:2603.05868v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Despite remarkable progress in Vision-Language-Action models (VLAs) for robot manipulation, these large pre-trained models require fine-tuning to be deployed in specific environments. These fine-tuned models are highly sensitive to camera viewpoint changes that frequently occur in unstructured environments. In this paper, we propose a zero-shot camera adaptation framework without additional demonstration data, policy fine-tuning, or architectural modification. Our key idea is to virtually adjust test-time camera observations to match the training camera configuration in real-time. For that, we use a recent feed-forward novel view synthesis model which outputs high-quality target view images, handling both extrinsic and intrinsic parameters. This plug-and-play approach preserves the pre-trained capabilities of VLAs and applies to any RGB-based policy. Through extensive experiments on the LIBERO benchmark, our method consistently outperforms baselines that use data augmentation for policy fine-tuning or additional 3D-aware features for visual input. We further validate that our approach constantly enhances viewpoint robustness in real-world robotic manipulation scenarios, including settings with varying camera extrinsics, intrinsics, and freely moving handheld cameras.
