ACCRUE is a continual off‑policy reinforcement learning framework designed for robot foundation models. It keeps lightweight actor and critic networks across tasks, reusing behavioral and value knowledge from previous RL stages while preserving prior behavior through actor distillation on a small set of retained episodes. Experiments on contact‑rich assembly tasks in simulation and on real robots show that ACCRUE speeds up learning of new tasks, nearly eliminates forgetting, and cuts real‑robot training time by 31.0% to 68.5%.

RIFAR is a new continual learning method for robots that uses reliability screening and drift-aware replay to mitigate forgetting while keeping storage low. It reconstructs past trajectories from short demonstration prefixes and employs a frozen inverse-dynamics model to verify action‑visual consistency. In experiments on LIBERO suites and real‑world tasks, RIFAR outperforms previous generative replay approaches, achieving high performance with only a small fraction of stored steps.
