Reinforcement Learning Enables Scaling Generalist Robot Policy Improvement

The introduction of generalist robot policies has enabled a single, large model to learn to perform a variety of tasks from a vast pre-training corpus. While these models often exhibit powerful zero-shot generalization capabilities, they typically require an adaptation phase to achieve sufficient performance in deploym...

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

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 a fundamental obstacle to effective RL improvement. In particular, their severe inference latency---which can lead to pauses or jerky movem...

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

In simulated and real-world robotic control settings, it is shown that in simulated and real-world robotic control settings, one can match the performance of action chunking without action chunking---by deploying an action chunking policy as an ensemble of policies with randomized delays.
