Abstract:Long-horizon robotic manipulation is highly sensitive to physically infeasible transitions, contact-induced disturbances, and the lack of effective self-correction during execution. Although Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models provide strong task grounding through multimodal learning, they typically generate actions in a feed-forward manner without explicitly checking physical feasibility or diagnosing execution errors online. We present PhysReflect-VLA, a plug-and-play execution-time reliability framework that augments VLA policies with physical feasibility evaluation and structured self-reflection in a closed-loop control pipeline. A Feasibility Operator evaluates whether candidate actions induce dynamically consistent state transitions; an Action Explanation Operator verifies transition coherence; and an LLM-based Reflection Module analyzes state discrepancies to generate corrective guidance for subsequent actions. A two-stage training procedure stabilizes feasibility modeling and integrates reflection into the control loop. Experiments on multi-stage, contact-rich real-world manipulation tasks show consistent improvements in stage-wise stability and overall task success compared with representative VLA baselines with an average gain of 5.4\%. Ablation results further indicate that feasibility checking and reflection-based correction both contribute to improved execution robustness. These results highlight the importance of embedding physical consistency checks and online self-reflection for reliable long-horizon robotic manipulation.
