Critic-Free Pretraining for Efficient Online Reinforcement Learning Fine-Tuning

Daoyi Li, Yixian Zhang, Chao Yu +2

Offline-to-online (O2O) reinforcement learning aims to leverage policies pretrained on static datasets while improving them through online interaction. However, directly reusing an…

Beyond Imitation: Reinforcement Learning-Based Sim-Real Co-Training for VLA Models

Liangzhi Shi, Shuaihang Chen, Feng Gao +8

Simulation offers a scalable and low-cost way to enrich vision-language-action (VLA) training, reducing reliance on expensive real-robot demonstrations. However, most sim-real co-t…
