Summary

LiMA cut inference latency 45.8% while coordinating long-range intent with contact-time control.

LiMA separates a slow process that generates sparse long-horizon intent from a fast process that refines dense actions as contact changes. The authors report 45.8% lower inference latency than Cosmos-Policy and a 70.8% overall success rate across six bimanual manipulation tasks, with 78.9% average subtask success. These are results from the reported task suite, not a general claim about every dexterous robot.
