核心内容
针对视觉-语言-动作(VLA)模型在机器人控制中面临的样本效率低、动作分块兼容差及训练不稳定问题,研究团队提出CO-RFT算法。该方法专为VLA设计,通过全参数模仿学习初始化策略,再利用分块离线强化学习进行优化。在真实机器人环境中,仅使用30至60条少量演示数据,CO-RFT相比传统监督学习方法实现了57%的任务成功率提升和22.3%的循环时间缩减。
技术核心在于扩展时序差分(TD)学习以适配VLA的动作分块特性,构建Chunked RL框架。算法流程上,先通过全参数微调完成骨干网络与策略的IL初始化,随后引入动作分块机制执行离线RL策略优化。实验验证显示,该方法具备显著的位置泛化能力,在训练集未覆盖的新位置仍保持44.3%的成功率,有效解决了小样本条件下VLA模型从仿真到真机部署的鲁棒性瓶颈。

英文摘要 (Abstract)
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models demonstrate significant potential for developing generalized policies in real-world robotic control. This progress inspires researchers to explore fine-tuning these models with Reinforcement Learning (RL). However, fine-tuning VLA models with RL still faces challenges related to sample efficiency, compatibility with action chunking, and training stability. To address these challenges, we explore the fine-tuning of VLA models through offline reinforcement learning incorporating action chunking. In this work, we propose Chunked RL, a novel reinforcement learning framework specifically designed for VLA models. Within this framework, we extend temporal difference (TD) learning to incorporate action chunking, a prominent characteristic of VLA models. Building upon this framework, we propose CO-RFT, an algorithm aimed at fine-tuning VLA models using a limited set of demonstrations (30 to 60 samples). Specifically, we first conduct imitation learning (IL) with full parameter fine-tuning to initialize both the backbone and the policy. Subsequently, we implement offline RL with action chunking to optimize the pretrained policy. Our empirical results in real-world environments demonstrate that CO-RFT outperforms previous supervised methods, achieving a 57% improvement in success rate and a 22.3% reduction in cycle time. Moreover, our method exhibits robust positional generalization capabilities, attaining a success rate of 44.3% in previously unseen positions.
