Steerable Vision-Language-Action Policies for Embodied Reasoning and Hierarchical Control
William Chen, Jagdeep Singh Bhatia, Catherine Glossop +6
Pretrained vision-language models (VLMs) can make semantic and visual inferences across diverse settings, providing valuable common-sense priors for robotic control. However, effec…
MEM: Multi-Scale Embodied Memory for Vision Language Action Models
Marcel Torne, Karl Pertsch, Homer Walke +14
Conventionally, memory in end-to-end robotic learning involves inputting a sequence of past observations into the learned policy. However, in complex multi-stage real-world tasks,…
Robust Finetuning of Vision-Language-Action Robot Policies via Parameter Merging
Yajat Yadav, Zhiyuan Zhou, Andrew Wagenmaker +2
Generalist robot policies, trained on large and diverse datasets, have demonstrated the ability to generalize across a wide spectrum of behaviors, enabling a single policy to act i…
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…
PolaRiS: Scalable Real-to-Sim Evaluations for Generalist Robot Policies
Arhan Jain, Mingtong Zhang, Kanav Arora +11
A significant challenge for robot learning research is our ability to accurately measure and compare the performance of robot policies. Benchmarking in robotics is historically cha…
Emergence of Human to Robot Transfer in Vision-Language-Action Models
Simar Kareer, Karl Pertsch, James Darpinian +5
Vision-language-action (VLA) models can enable broad open world generalization, but require large and diverse datasets. It is appealing to consider whether some of this data can co…
