HARP uses paired human–robot demonstrations to align visual features and learn latent actions from paired and unpaired videos. Its latent-action model predicts motion across embodiments, while a robot-trained action head maps those representations to executable commands. On CALVIN ABC→D, HARP-VLA averages 4.481 completed subtasks, versus 3.917 for OpenVLA-OFT; these are system-level comparisons, not controlled architectural tests.
