Development of Embodied Robotics and Benchmarks

Figure 1. The Organization of Our Survey. We systematically categorize efficient VLAs into three core pillars: (1) Efficient Model Design, encompassing efficient architectures and model compression techniques, (2) Efficient Training, covering efficient pre-training and post-training strategies, and (3) Efficient Data Collection, including efficient data collection and augmentation methods. The framework also reviews VLA foundations, key applications, challenges, and future directions, establishing the groundwork for advancing scalable embodied intelligence.
