ManiCM: Real-time 3D Diffusion Policy via Consistency Model for Robotic Manipulation

Read the original on arXiv AI →

ManiCM is a real‑time 3D diffusion policy for robotic manipulation that uses a consistency constraint to enable one‑step inference. The model conditions on point‑cloud input and directly predicts robot actions through a consistency distillation technique, avoiding the need to predict noise. Evaluated on 31 tasks from Adroit and Metaworld, ManiCM achieves an average ten‑fold speedup over state‑of‑the‑art methods while maintaining competitive success rates.

Flash-WAM: Modality-Aware Distillation for World Action Models

arXiv:2606. 05254v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: World-action models (WAMs) jointly generate future video and robot actions through iterative diffusion, achieving strong performance on manipulation benchmarks but requiring tens of denoising steps, a cost that precludes real-time control.

HybridFlow: A 2-NFE Generative Policy for Real-Time Robotic Manipulation

HybridFlow is a generative policy for robotic manipulation that uses a three‑stage inference procedure requiring only two network function evaluations (2‑NFE). The policy first generates a coarse action trajectory with a Global Jump based on MeanFlow, then refines the state using a parameter‑free ReNoise interpolation, and finally performs a Local Refine to query the instantaneous‑velocity limit. Experiments on RoboMimic and five real‑robot settings show that HybridFlow achieves high success rates and improves task performance over a 16‑step Diffusion Policy while reducing action‑generation latency by roughly eightfold.
