Robotic Photography System based on Vision-Language-Action Model
VCIP2026
Modern robotic photography requires understanding photographic intent, planning camera motions, and producing aesthetically pleasing images in complex environments. We present RoboPhoto-VLA, a unified Vision-Language-Action framework that jointly models perception, reasoning, and camera control for autonomous robotic photography. RoboPhoto-VLA incorporates PhotoCoT for structured action planning and Aesthetic Direct Preference Optimization (ADPO) to align camera behaviors with human aesthetic preferences. To facilitate training and evaluation, we construct OpenPhotography, a robotic photography dataset with language-guided demonstrations. Extensive real-world experiments demonstrate that RoboPhoto-VLA produces photographs better aligned with human aesthetic preferences while generalizing effectively to unseen subjects, viewpoints, poses, and complex photographic instructions.
