arXiv:2602. 09580v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Real-world fine-tuning of dexterous manipulation policies remains challenging due to limited real-world interaction budgets and highly multimodal action distributions.
arXiv:2605. 03065v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Generative control policies (GCPs), such as diffusion- and flow-based control policies, have emerged as effective parameterizations for robot learning.
CF‑VLA introduces a two‑stage coarse‑to‑fine approach for vision‑language‑action policies, replacing multi‑step sampling with a coarse initialization that constructs an action‑aware starting point and a single‑step refinement that corrects residual errors. The coarse stage learns a conditional posterior over endpoint velocity to transform Gaussian noise into a structured initialization, while the fine stage performs a fixed‑time refinement. Experiments on CALVIN and LIBERO demonstrate that CF‑VLA achieves a strong efficiency‑performance trade‑off, reducing action sampling latency by 75.4 % and achieving an 83.0 % real‑robot success rate, outperforming existing NFE=2 methods and matching or surpassing NFE=10 baselines.

Offline reinforcement learning improves robotic policies using previously collected data without further environment interaction. Yet prevalent diffusion- and flow-matching robot policies lack tractable likelihoods, limiting their use in likelihood-based offline RL post-training.
arXiv:2511. 08583v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Developing efficient and accurate visuomotor policies poses a central challenge in robotic imitation learning.
FlowCorrect is a modular interactive imitation learning method that allows real‑time adaptation of generative flow‑matching manipulation policies using sparse, relative human corrections. During task execution, a human provides brief corrective pose nudges through a lightweight VR interface, and FlowCorrect locally adapts the policy without retraining the backbone, maintaining performance on previously learned scenarios. Experiments on a real‑world robot across four tabletop tasks show that, with a low correction budget, FlowCorrect achieves an 80% success rate on previously failed cases while preserving performance on solved scenarios.
