## Summary

FoveaVLA is a vision-language-action (VLA) model that replaces the wrist camera with learned foveation actions. Alongside each action chunk, it predicts the interaction region to observe at the next policy query, then crops that region from the original-resolution image and feeds it to the policy together with the full view.
