让机器人提前发现并纠正任务失败,提升操作成功率。

CycleVLA: Proactive Self-Correcting Vision-Language-Action Models via Subtask Backtracking and Minimum Bayes Risk Decoding

  • 通过子任务回溯和最小贝叶斯风险解码,实现执行中的主动纠错。
  • 在仿真与真实机器人上分别达到91%和约80%的故障修正率。
  • 适用于不同训练水平的模型,无需重新训练即可提升性能。

当前机器人故障检测与纠正多为事后处理,仅在故障发生后分析并修复。本文提出CycleVLA,使视觉-语言-动作模型具备主动自纠正能力,能提前预判潜在故障并在其完全显现前恢复。该系统集成进度感知的视觉-语言-动作模型,用于识别高失败风险的子任务节点;基于视觉-语言模型的故障预测与规划器,在预测失败时触发子任务回溯;以及基于最小贝叶斯风险(MBR)解码的测试时扩展策略,以提升回溯后的重试成功率。在LIBERO和LIBERO-Plus仿真基准上的实验表明,CycleVLA超越现有最优模型π0.5,显著提升各类能力模型(从欠训练到完全收敛)的执行成功率。在真实机器人上,对一项精细任务和两项长时程操作平均达成91%的成功率。此外,引入多重人为扰动(如替换目标物位置、插入干扰物)的应力测试显示,CycleVLA可纠正约80%的注入故障,维持接近无扰动时的性能表现。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Current work on robot failure detection and correction typically operates in a post hoc manner, analyzing errors and applying corrections only after failures occur. This work introduces CycleVLA, a system that equips Vision-Language-Action models (VLAs) with proactive self-correction, the capability to anticipate incipient failures and recover before they fully manifest during execution. CycleVLA achieves this by integrating a progress-aware VLA that flags critical subtask transition points where failures most frequently occur, a VLM-based failure predictor and planner that triggers subtask backtracking upon predicted failure, and a test-time scaling strategy based on Minimum Bayes Risk (MBR) decoding to improve retry success after backtracking. Extensive experiments on the LIBERO and LIBERO-Plus simulation benchmarks show that CycleVLA surpasses the state-of-the-art VLA π0.5, improves success rates by correcting execution failures across VLAs of varying capability, from under-trained ones to fully converged policies, and that MBR serves as an effective zero-shot test-time scaling strategy for VLAs. On a real robot, CycleVLA reaches a 91% average success rate on one precise and two long-horizon manipulation tasks. We further conduct stress tests with multiple manually injected perturbations (e.g., swapping in a distractor at the expected location while relocating the true target object mid-execution), where CycleVLA corrects ~80% of injected failures and maintains success rates comparable to unperturbed execution.
