OGPO is a sample-efficient off-policy method for full finetuning of generative control policies that reaches SOTA on robotic manipulation tasks and can recover from poor behavior-cloning initializations without expert data.
MoRI dynamically mixes RL and IL experts with variance-based switching and IL regularization to reach 97.5% success in four real-world robotic tasks while cutting human intervention by 85.8%.
RECAP enables a generalist VLA to self-improve via advantage-conditioned RL on mixed real-world data, more than doubling throughput and halving failure rates on hard manipulation tasks.
HandelBot refines simulation policies via physical rollouts and residual RL to achieve precise bimanual piano playing, outperforming direct sim transfer by 1.8x with only 30 minutes of real data across five songs.
