Learning to Act While Waiting: RL Finetuning of Generalist Robot Policies Under Inference Latency

Brian Zhu, Momen Khalil, E Harrison +17

While reinforcement learning (RL) allows generalist robot policies to continually improve during deployment, the large model size of modern generalist policies, such as VLAs, poses…

Why Does Action Chunking Improve Behavioral Cloning Performance in Robotic Control?

Filippo Lazzati, Kyle Stachowicz, William Chen +3

Action chunking---predicting and executing multiple actions instead of a single action---has proven to be a critical component for learning effective robotic control policies. Howe…

Adapting Generalist Robot Policies with Semantic Reinforcement Learning

Jagdeep Singh Bhatia, Andrew Wagenmaker, William Chen +1

Generalist robot policies learn a diverse repertoire of behaviors from large-scale pretraining. In principle, this makes them excellent priors for downstream adaptation via reinfor…
