Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have shown strong performance on embodied manipulation, yet they remain brittle under visual observation changes, paraphrased language instructions, and compounded perturbations. This limitation suggests that existing methods still rely heavily on shallow correlations in the training distribution, rather than learning stable couplings among task semantics, environment states, and action generation. Although recent efforts improve robustness through larger-scale training, post-training adaptation, or enhanced predictive modeling, they rarely enforce invariance-oriented consistency within the end-to-end policy itself. To address this issue, we propose RoVLA, a robust vision-language-action framework with multi-consistency constraints. RoVLA enforces consistency under three complementary transformations: instruction semantics, trajectory evolution, and observation perturbation. Specifically, Instructional Consistency (IC) promotes stable grounding under semantically equivalent instruction rewrites, Evolutionary Consistency (EC) preserves coherent action intent throughout the generation process, and Observational Consistency (OC) improves robustness to visual and proprioceptive perturbations by enforcing consistent predictions before and after targeted disturbances. By explicitly modeling these invariances during training, RoVLA reduces reliance on superficial correlations and improves robustness and generalization. Experiments on LIBERO-Plus, RoboTwin 2.0, and real-world manipulation tasks show that RoVLA consistently outperforms strong baseline methods and exhibits superior robustness under diverse task and observation shifts. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of multi-consistency learning for robust embodied control. Codes will be available at https://github.com/HCPLab-SYSU/RoVLA.

With the surge in the development of large language models, embodied intelligence has attracted increasing attention. Nevertheless, prior works on embodied intelligence typically encode scene or historical memory in an unimodal manner, either visual or linguistic, which complicates the alignment of the model's action planning with embodied control. To overcome this limitation, we introduce the Multimodal Embodied Interactive Agent (MEIA), capable of translating high-level tasks expressed in natural language into a sequence of executable actions. Specifically, we propose a novel Multimodal Environment Memory (MEM) module, facilitating the integration of embodied control with large models through the visual-language memory of scenes. This capability enables MEIA to generate executable action plans based on diverse requirements and the robot's capabilities. Furthermore, we construct an embodied question answering dataset based on a dynamic virtual cafe environment with the help of the large language model. In this virtual environment, we conduct several experiments, utilizing multiple large models through zero-shot learning, and carefully design scenarios for various situations. The experimental results showcase the promising performance of our MEIA in various embodied interactive tasks.
