Behavioral Foundation Models for Quality Diversity

Nazim Bendib, Nicolas Perrin-Gilbert, Olivier Sigaud

Behavioral Foundation Models (BFMs) are an emerging paradigm in reinforcement learning, playing a role analogous to large language models in natural language processing: they have…

A Sim-to-Real Integration Pipeline for Training and Deployment of Chunk-Based VLA Manipulation Policies

Mathilde Kappel, Clémence Grislain, Mohamed Chetouani +5

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have become a prominent paradigm for mapping multimodal inputs, including semantic instructions, visual observations of the scene, and proprioce…

Locally-Guided Actor-Critic: Training a Goal-conditioned Actor with a Subgoal-aware Critic

Olivier Serris, Stéphane Doncieux, Olivier Sigaud

Goal-conditioned reinforcement learning struggles with long horizons when rewards are sparse. While a planner can provide subgoals to guide a low-level policy, its use at test time…

PRISM: Perception Reasoning Interleaved for Sequential Decision Making

Mohamed Salim Aissi, Clemence Grislain, Clement Romac +4

Scaling LLM-based embodied agents from text-only environments to complex multimodal settings remains a major challenge. Recent work identifies a perception-reasoning-decision gap i…

MODIP: Efficient Model-Based Optimization for Diffusion Policies

Zakariae El Asri, Philippe Gratias-Quiquandon, Nicolas Thome +1

Diffusion policies (DPs) have emerged as expressive policy representations for robot learning, often used with imitation learning methods such as behavioral cloning (BC). However,…

IntentVLM: Open-Vocabulary Intention Recognition through Forward-Inverse Modeling with Video-Language Models

Hamed Rahimi, Clemence Grislain, Adrien Jacquet Cretides +2

Improving the effectiveness of human-robot interaction requires social robots to accurately infer human goals through robust intention understanding. This challenge is particularly…

Improving Zero-Shot Offline RL via Behavioral Task Sampling

Nazim Bendib, Nicolas Perrin-Gilbert, Olivier Sigaud

Offline zero-shot reinforcement learning (RL) aims to learn agents that optimize unseen reward functions without additional environment interaction. The standard approach to this p…

Online Self-Training for Co-Adaptation in Hierarchical Diffusion Policies

Clemence Grislain, Mathilde Kappel, Olivier Sigaud +1

Hierarchical policies decompose language-conditioned long-horizon robotic manipulation into a high-level planner and a low-level controller. However, effective coordination between…
