SCALE: Self-uncertainty Conditioned Adaptive Looking and Execution for Vision-Language-Action Models
SCALE introduces a novel, training-free inference strategy for Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models, enabling adaptive modulation of visual perception and action based on 'self-uncertainty'. Inspired by Active Inference, SCALE requires no additional training, verifiers, or multiple forward passes, making it practical for real-time robotic deployment. It dynamically adjusts attention and action sampling, leading to robust performance improvements over state-of-the-art VLAs and existing Test-Time Scaling (TTS) methods, particularly in ambiguous and unseen environments. This approach significantly enhances the reliability and generalization capabilities of embodied AI systems without increasing computational overhead.

Existing VLA inference methods suffer from limitations such as requiring additional training, multiple forward passes, and fixed visual representations, which are insufficient under perceptual ambiguity. SCALE addresses these by introducing a single-pass, training-free adaptive inference strategy.

Closed-loop Adaptive Execution
SCALE quantifies 'self-uncertainty' by comparing predicted output distributions to 'full certainty' (one-hot) and 'full ambiguity' (uniform) references. This continuous score then modulates action sampling temperature (for 'what to do') and visual attention temperature (for 'how to perceive'), forming a feedback loop that adapts to varying scene conditions.

SCALE achieves an average success rate of 63.3% on the challenging LIBERO-Long benchmark, outperforming RoboMonkey (56.5%) and TACO (60.0%) while maintaining single-pass efficiency.
| Feature | SCALE | Existing TTS Methods |
|---|---|---|
| Additional Training | None | Required (for verifiers/value functions) |
| Inference Passes | Single | Multiple (for sampling/verification) |
| Visual Modulation | Adaptive (Perception & Action) | Fixed (Action only) |
| Generalization to Unseen | Stronger (demonstrated) | Limited (beyond verifier's distribution) |
| Real-time Deployment | Practical | Impractical (due to latency) |
