What is missing. This record has no bottom line, key findings, reported figures, evidence dimensions. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
Active perception is essential for robotic manipulation when fixed viewpoints leave task-relevant information occluded or unobserved. However, enabling vision-language-action (VLA) models to reason across changing viewpoints and actively acquire informative observations remains challenging. We present ActiveScale, a framework that advances active perception through coordinated model, data, and hardware designs. Our model augments a VLA with historical video observations and explicit camera-pose supervision, using per-frame pose tokens and a lightweight prediction head to associate observations across viewpoints and support a coherent understanding of the scene. To learn from the camera motion naturally present in human activity, we introduce a scalable human--robot mid-training recipe using 1000 hours of egocentric and robotic data, adapting the model to temporal inputs and pose supervision. We further introduce Active-perception Mobile-manipulation Platform (AMP), a robotic platform that supports active perception and mobile manipulation through single-operator teleoperation, enabling scalable collection of demonstrations that coordinate viewpoint changes and manipulation. Experiments demonstrate improved success rates on active-perception tasks, while ablation studies validate the contributions of camera-pose-aware modeling and egocentric mid-training. Together, these components provide an integrated foundation for studying and developing active perception in robotic manipulation.
