Abstract:We present Token Steering (TS), a method for dynamically steering trajectories generated by an autoregressive vision-language-action (VLA) model through direct intervention in the action-token space. TS injects low-dimensional user inputs into the model's native action-token representation, allowing users to influence trajectory generation without modifying the underlying vision-language model (VLM) architecture. Because TS operates entirely at inference time, it requires no additional training or finetuning. User inputs guide rather than override the pretrained policy, allowing users to influence robot actions while preserving the dexterity, smoothness, and task priors learned by the VLA. We evaluate TS on two household manipulation tasks -- drawer closing after object placement and state-aware object swapping -- and improve success rates from 10.0% to 72.5% and from 16.7% to 93.8%, respectively. By enabling lightweight, intuitive steering over robot foundation models, our interface has the potential to improve human-robot interaction in consumer environments and broaden accessibility for individuals with limited physical control.
