arXiv:2601. 20334v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Robotic manipulation has increasingly adopted vision-language-action (VLA) models, which achieve strong performance but typically require task-specific demonstrations and fine-tuning, and often generalize poorly under domain shift.

Teach-and-Grow Learning (TGL) is an agent-centered architecture that transforms a few successful demonstrations into reusable Skill Blocks, enabling a robot to compose, execute, and revise behaviors in new scenes without task-specific policy retraining. The system maintains a Skill Library and structured Experience Memory to capture successes, failures, and repairs, allowing persistent reuse and agent-directed adaptation. Evaluation on the LIBERO benchmark shows state-of-the-art performance, and the authors propose a scaling-law hypothesis suggesting that accumulated reusable experience reduces future-task error and teaching demand following a power-law trend.

JoyInside‑VLM‑Agent is a ReAct‑style multimodal agent that learns product‑conditioned policies for embodied robots and smart hardware. It uses a closed‑loop sandbox to generate interaction trajectories, supervised fine‑tuning, multi‑teacher on‑policy distillation, and reinforcement learning with DPER to align token‑level evidence and rewards. The agent achieves a BFCL v4 overall score of 77.44, surpassing baselines on JoyInside‑Devices and JoyInside‑Robotics, and demonstrates visually grounded search, replanning, and failure reporting in two real‑world quadruped case studies.
