HiMoE-VLA: Hierarchical Mixture-of-Experts for Generalist Vision-Language-Action Policies
Paper • 2512.05693 • Published • 1
HiMoE-VLA is a vision–language–action (VLA) policy framework designed to handle the heterogeneity in modern large-scale robotic datasets. It introduces a Hierarchical Mixture-of-Experts (HiMoE) action module that progressively abstracts away differences in embodiments, action spaces, and configurations across layers.
Below is a sample code snippet for running inference with the policy as described in the official repository:
from moevla.policies import policy_config as _policy_config
from moevla.training import config as _config
# specific these parameter
train_config = ""
dataset_config = ""
checkpoint_dir = ""
policy = _policy_config.create_trained_policy(
_config.get_training_config(train_config),
_config.get_dataset_config(dataset_config),
checkpoint_dir,
default_prompt=None
)
# Run inference on a dummy example.
example = {
"observation/exterior_image_1_left": ...,
"observation/wrist_image_left": ...,
...
"prompt": "fold clothes"
}
action_chunk = policy.infer(example)["actions"]
