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…
Improving Robotic Generalist Policies via Flow Reversal Steering
Andy Tang, William Chen, Andrew Wagenmaker +2
Generalist policies can learn a wide range of skills from diverse robot datasets. In order to solve or improve on challenging new tasks, we need a way to infer and invoke the appro…
SteerVLA: Steering Vision-Language-Action Models in Long-Tail Driving Scenarios
Tian Gao, Celine Tan, Catherine Glossop +8
A fundamental challenge in autonomous driving is the integration of high-level, semantic reasoning for long-tail events with low-level, reactive control for robust driving. While l…
RoboReward: General-Purpose Vision-Language Reward Models for Robotics
Tony Lee, Andrew Wagenmaker, Karl Pertsch +3
A well-designed reward is critical for effective reinforcement learning-based policy improvement. In real-world robotics, obtaining such rewards typically requires either labor-int…
