About this paper

A hierarchical VLA framework is proposed to address the limitations of Markovian models by maintaining task history through explicit language memory and event-triggered updates.

Recent advances in Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have enabled fine manipulation capabilities, yet performing tasks that require working memory remains a key challenge. Most existing VLA architectures operate under a Markovian assumption, mapping only the current observation to an action, which leads to failure in non-Markovian environments. Inspired by the human 'inner monologue', we propose Hierarchical Explicit Language Memory (HeLM), a hierarchical VLA framework that maintains task-relevant history in explicit language through factorized event detection and event-triggered memory updates. We evaluate HeLM across 10 non-Markovian real-world tasks with 56 variants, including five…
