Reflex: Enabling Fast and Predictive Vision-Language-Action Models for Reaction-Critical Manipulation

Excerpt

arXiv:2608.14379v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have recently achieved promising performance in robotic manipulation. However, existing benchmarks mainly evaluate generalization on static manipulation tasks and largely overlook dynamic interaction scenarios. To address this gap, we present ReflexBench, a benchmark for reaction-critical manipulation. ReflexBench contains six dynamic tasks and introduces an evaluation framework that decouples simulator steppin
