Prioritized Rollouts for Efficient World Model-based Vision-Language-Action Policy Optimization

Yifei Sheng, Haoxiang Ren, Zhilong Zhang +8

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have emerged as a powerful paradigm for embodied intelligence, but fine-tuning them with reinforcement learning (RL) remains constrained by the…

VINE: Taming Generative Control Policies for Reinforcement Learning

Rushuai Yang, Zhuo Han, Houlin Li +10

Flow-matching policies have emerged as an effective policy parameterization for robot learning. They iteratively generate actions from noise, enabling highly expressive modeling of…

Speedup Patch: Learning a Plug-and-Play Policy to Accelerate Embodied Manipulation

Zhichao Wu, Junyin Ye, Zhilong Zhang +6

While current embodied policies exhibit remarkable manipulation skills, their execution remains unsatisfactorily slow as they inherit the tardy pacing of human demonstrations. Exis…

Towards Practical World Model-based Reinforcement Learning for Vision-Language-Action Models

Zhilong Zhang, Haoxiang Ren, Yihao Sun +6

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models show strong generalization for robotic control, but finetuning them with reinforcement learning (RL) is constrained by the high cost and safety…

ALOE: Action-Level Off-Policy Evaluation for Vision-Language-Action Model Post-Training

Rushuai Yang, Hecheng Wang, Zhichao Wu +11

We study how to improve large foundation vision-language-action (VLA) systems through human-in-the-loop reinforcement learning (RL) in real-world environments. A key challenge is l…
