让机器人持续学习新技能而不改变自我身份,实现长期智能进化。

Learning Without Losing Identity: Capability Evolution for Embodied Agents

  • 用可迭代的模块化功能单元管理技能演化,保持智能体身份不变。
  • 20轮迭代后任务成功率从32.4%提升至91.3%,且无策略漂移和安全违规。
  • 适合需要长期运行的机器人系统,尤其关注安全与身份稳定性的场景。

具身智能体需在动态物理环境中持久运行并持续获取新能力。现有方法常通过提示工程、策略更新或结构重设计来提升性能,导致系统不稳定与身份丢失。本文提出以能力为中心的演化范式,主张保留智能体作为认知身份的持久存在,通过能力的持续演化实现改进。我们引入具身能力模块(ECMs),作为可学习、可优化、可组合的模块化功能单元。构建统一框架,将能力演化与智能体身份解耦:能力通过任务执行、经验收集、模型精炼与模块更新的闭环过程演进,而所有执行由运行时层保障安全与策略约束。在模拟具身任务中,20次迭代后任务成功率从32.4%提升至91.3%,优于基于代理修改的基线及成熟技能学习方法(SPiRL、SkiMo),且保持零策略漂移与零安全违规。结果表明,将身份与能力演化分离,为长期具身智能提供了可扩展且安全的基础。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Embodied agents are expected to operate persistently in dynamic physical environments, continuously acquiring new capabilities over time. Existing approaches to improving agent performance often rely on modifying the agent itself -- through prompt engineering, policy updates, or structural redesign -- leading to instability and loss of identity in long-lived systems. In this work, we propose a capability-centric evolution paradigm for embodied agents. We argue that a robot should maintain a persistent agent as its cognitive identity, while enabling continuous improvement through the evolution of its capabilities. Specifically, we introduce the concept of Embodied Capability Modules (ECMs), which represent modular, versioned units of embodied functionality that can be learned, refined, and composed over time. We present a unified framework in which capability evolution is decoupled from agent identity. Capabilities evolve through a closed-loop process involving task execution, experience collection, model refinement, and module updating, while all executions are governed by a runtime layer that enforces safety and policy constraints. We demonstrate through simulated embodied tasks that capability evolution improves task success rates from 32.4% to 91.3% over 20 iterations, outperforming both agent-modification baselines and established skill-learning methods (SPiRL, SkiMo), while preserving zero policy drift and zero safety violations. Our results suggest that separating agent identity from capability evolution provides a scalable and safe foundation for long-term embodied intelligence.
