ActSafeGuard: Differentiable and Training-Aligned Constraint Enforcement for Flow-Matching Policies

arXiv:2609. 11697v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) and World-Action Models (WAMs) have demonstrated strong capabilities in general-purpose robotic manipulation, yet their generated actions may violate hard physical constraints and therefore be unsafe or infeasible for deployment.

A Schema Bounded Language Model for Refining Robot Policies Without Destabilizing Local Learning

The paper presents a decentralized navigation framework for composite heterogeneous robots that integrates a large language model (LLM) policy agent, an Upper Confidence Bound (UCB) bandit, and a Double Deep Q-Network (Double DQN) controller. Each robot independently generates and refines policies at the round level using LLM inference, while the Double DQN handles tick-level action selection based on navigation variables and LLM priors. Across 30 rounds, the full configuration achieved all goals with the lowest median completion time (42 ticks) and a 25–39% improvement over other setups.

ORPA: Online Residual Policy Adaptation for Robot Manipulation Control with Human Feedback

The paper introduces ORPA, a framework that adds a lightweight, feedback-conditioned module to a pretrained robotic manipulation policy, enabling real‑time residual adjustments in joint space without retraining the base policy. ORPA allows immediate correction of execution errors and distribution shifts, improving success rates and recovery on precision‑sensitive tasks compared to baseline policies and rule‑based inverse kinematics. The method is evaluated on the ALOHA platform, showing its effectiveness in real‑time deployment scenarios.
