RePO-VLA: Recovery-Driven Policy Optimization for Vision-Language-Action Models

Read the original on arXiv AI →

RePO‑VLA is a recovery‑driven policy optimization framework for Vision‑Language‑Action models that separates success, recovery, and failure trajectories. It introduces Recovery‑Aware Initialization, a Progress‑Aware Semantic Value Function, and Value‑Conditioned Refinement to learn from both successful and failed rollouts, enabling the policy to prefer high‑progress actions without online failure detectors. The authors also present the Failure‑Recovery Benchmark (FRBench) and demonstrate that RePO‑VLA raises adversarial success rates from 20% to 75% on average in simulated and real‑world bimanual tasks.

OGPO: Offline Goal-conditioned Policy Optimization for Recoverable Vision-Language-Action Models

OGPO is an Offline Goal‑conditioned Policy Optimization framework designed to improve Vision‑Language‑Action (VLA) models for robotic manipulation. It replaces traditional step‑wise action imitation with adaptive relabeling of trajectories using semantic key states and goal‑conditioned rewards, enabling policies to reach task‑progress states even from off‑demonstration states. Experiments on LIBERO, MetaWorld, LIBERO‑Plus, and the proposed LIBERO‑ReAct benchmark show that OGPO consistently outperforms standard supervised fine‑tuning in terms of robustness and recoverability under distribution shifts.

Rewind-IL: Online Failure Detection and State Respawning for Imitation Learning

Rewind-IL is a training‑free online safeguard for generative action‑chunked imitation learning policies. It uses a zero‑shot failure detector based on Temporal Inter‑chunk Discrepancy Estimate (TIDE) and a state‑respawning mechanism that returns the robot to a verified safe intermediate state. The system builds a checkpoint library offline with a vision‑language model and monitors self‑consistency online, rewinding execution to the latest safe checkpoint when a failure is detected, thereby improving reliability in long‑horizon manipulation tasks.
