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.
