Implicit Drifting Policy: One-Step Action Generation via Conditional Expert Geometry

arXiv:2606. 01098v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Generative action policies based on diffusion or flow matching excel in behavior cloning, yet their iterative sampling is prohibitive for high-frequency robot control.

FlowCorrect: Efficient Interactive Correction of Generative Flow Policies for Robotic Manipulation

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.

RoMAN-Flow: Taming Autoregressive Normalizing Flows for Offline Reinforcement Learning in Robotic Manipulation

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.

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.
