Escape pipe in all in-table wikilinks wiki-wide (202 links, 17 files)
GitHub-wiki table cells read a wikilink's separator | as a column
delimiter, splitting the cell and breaking the link. Escape to \| in
every table-row wikilink (Home nav, RSS-2026-Papers, topic surveys).
Prose wikilinks left as plain | (render correctly outside tables).

Weave ICML 2026 evidence into deep-dive surveys; revise three verdicts
14 State-of-the-Field sections gain ICML 2026 findings from the
99-paper index: recipes and latent-action supervision (VLANeXt,
From-Pixels-to-Tokens, XR-1), MoT dual-systems and shortcut counters,
the 9-paper efficiency cluster (Reflex 50Hz, GridS -76% FLOPs, XPU
profile, latent reasoning -90%), reward/critic and model-based RL
(VLAC, VLAW +39.2%), memory (HiMe/SOMA/CAPS), world models (DreamDojo
44kh, LAC-WM, dWorldEval), dexterous (DexMachina/DECO/Tabero/CTSRL),
cross-embodiment (OXE-AugE, latent motion codes), evaluation
(LIBERO-Gen, VLA-Arena, FixBench, TRAP). Verdicts revised: forgetting
milder than assumed; discrete-token verdict scoped to robot-action
auxiliaries; WM-evaluator action gap first crack. Home synced.

Decision map: prominent deep-dive links + uniform detail-page template
Home fold-outs now lead with a heading-level "Deep dive ->" link and
compress trend/approaches/limitations into a labeled 3-row table.
The 12 detail-page State-of-the-Field sections are rewritten to one
template (Verdict quote + Trend + Approaches-and-trade-offs +
optional Established-findings + Limitations, dated Aug 2026); the
three standalone surveys get matching headers with structure legends.

Survey-depth topic pages: 12 State-of-the-Field updates + 3 new surveys
Each decision-map topic's detail page now carries a dated July-2026
survey section: trend arc through the latest venues, approach
taxonomy with definitions and trade-offs, and current limitations.
Three previously page-less topics get dedicated surveys:
Human-Video Transfer (emergence/decoupling/synthesis fork + decision
guide), VLA Evaluation (indictment + 2026 toolkit + emerging norms),
Real-Time Execution (RTC->Legato arc + approach comparison). Home
fold-outs link the full surveys; Reviews catalog updated.

Fix broken tables: escape unescaped pipes inside wikilinks in table rows
ICLR.md (and 12 other pages) had [[label|Page]] wikilinks with raw pipes inside
GFM table cells, which the GitHub-wiki renderer reads as column separators —
mangling the table. Escaped the wikilink-internal pipes to \| (matching the
convention already used by CVPR/NeurIPS/CoRL pages); table column separators
left intact.

Update review theses where ICRA 2026 shifts the message (not just content)
- Cross-Embodiment Q1: fold in Galaxea G0 counter-evidence — single-embodiment
data consistency is a third lever alongside scale-for-coverage / architecture-
for-extrapolation (raw cross-embodiment scale is not automatically better)
- VLM-Action trends: add trend #7 — by ICRA 2026 the mechanism set has stabilized
(no 8th coupling primitive); frontier moved from inventing wirings to deploying
frozen ones (FD-VLA, G0, FPO)
- System-0/1/2 TL;DR: dual-system is now the label-free systems-community default
(Galaxea G0, DualVLN)
Other reviews' theses are reinforced (not changed) by ICRA — left as-is.

Integrate ICRA 2026 into cross-paper in-depth reviews
Wove ICRA 2026 developments into 9 cross-paper reviews (drawing only from the
already-verified ICRA topic/per-paper pages — no new web claims), mapping ICRA
papers onto each review's existing taxonomy:
- VLA-Architecture, Dexterous-Manipulation, RL, VLA-Memory, Goal-Image-Conditioning,
System-0-1-2, Cross-Embodiment, VLM-Action-Connection, WAM-vs-VLA-Robustness
Six of these had zero ICRA content before. 0 dangling wikilinks.

Source-verification audit: fix fabrications, rename PI slugs, link hygiene, add foundational pages
- Re-verified all 195 pages vs original sources; removed 47 confirmed fabricated
tables/numbers, restored 19 false-positive deletions (full-PDF re-check)
- Renamed PI tech-report slugs ICLR-2026-pi07/pi06/RECAP -> PI-pi07/PI-pi06/PI-RECAP
(these are PI technical reports, not ICLR 2026 papers); updated 171 wikilinks
- Fixed 60 broken wikilinks -> 0 dangling across the wiki
- Added foundational pages: OpenVLA, ReKep, AgiBot World Colosseo, RoboBrain 2.0;
linked from Home + sidebar + venue indexes

Add VLM-Action Connection cross-paper review
Review-VLM-Action-Connection.md re-slices the VLA architecture space
along a different axis from Review-VLA-Architecture: not "what kind
of action decoder" but "how does the VLM information flow into the
action path." 7 mechanisms with concrete technical details:
1. Unified token stream (OpenVLA, VLA-0, DDVLA, UDVLA, dVLA,
HybridVLA) — no interface
2. Same-stack MoE + prefix-KV attention (pi0/pi0.5/pi0.6/pi0.7,
FLOWER) — action expert is separate weights in the same
transformer stack; matched head-dim + layer count; VLM prefix KV
is cached; Knowledge Insulation is a gradient-direction modifier,
NOT a new interface
3. Cross-attention into VLM hidden states (GR00T N1 at LAYER 12 of
Eagle-2, RDT-1B with Alternating Condition Injection, ST4VLA
over k intermediate layers, RetoVLA with register-token KV)
4. Latent condition token (ThinkAct, RoboDual, WholeBodyVLA)
5. FiLM / prefix conditioning (CogVLA applies FiLM TWICE — once at
the vision encoder, once at the LLM — plus V-L-A Coupled Attn)
6. Parameter sharing at layer boundary (Fast-in-Slow: last 2 of 32
LLaVA blocks, ablated optimum; 1:4 S2:S1 frequency ratio)
7. Outside-the-VLM (RFS residual flow, VITA-VLA reverse distillation
via hidden-state alignment, RTC async scheduling)
Plus interface-efficiency work: VLA-Cache, VLA-Adapter's Bridge
Attention (closest paper to an interface-ablation), VLA-OS paradigm
study.
Key findings:
- The field is bifurcating, not converging: production (same-stack
MoE) vs research (unified stream) vs dual-system (latent/embedded).
- Nobody has published a matched-compute head-to-head ablation of
interfaces on the same backbone and data. This is the single most
valuable unpublished study.
- VLA-0 (actions as text, zero modification) beats pi0.5-KI,
OpenVLA-OFT, GR00T-N1 on LIBERO, suggesting much of the field's
interface complexity may be over-engineered.
- Which VLM layer cross-attention targets is ad-hoc: GR00T picked
layer 12 empirically, ST4VLA picks k layers. Layer-sweep ablation
missing.
