  • 用错配指令重标注专家数据,生成反事实三元组。
  • 在LIBERO-PRO上提升对物体位置扰动的鲁棒性。
  • 无需额外数据收集,适合数据稀缺的机器人场景。

视觉-语言-动作(VLA)模型通常通过行为克隆(BC)在专家示范上训练,但仅提供正向监督,缺乏指示哪些动作不匹配指令或不当的负向信号。强化学习(RL)可提供纠正信号,但常依赖外部奖励或精心筛选的非专家数据,这些在机器人领域成本高昂。本文表明,离线强化学习无需依赖精心筛选的非专家轨迹:仅通过将专家动作与错配的替代指令配对,即可从数据集中合成反事实的指令-观察-动作三元组,并结合对抗判别器训练,学习到无需额外回放或标注的指令引导奖励模型。在侧重鲁棒性的LIBERO-PRO基准上,该方法优于强基线,在对象位置和任务扰动下表现更优;在兼容AGIBot G2的TX-G2真实机器人实验中也超越多个竞争基线。结果表明,对于数据受限的VLA学习,从每条示范中提取更密集的监督,可有效补充数据收集。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models are typically trained with behavior cloning (BC) on expert demonstrations. However, BC provides only positive supervision for expert actions, without explicit negative supervision indicating which actions are instruction-inconsistent or otherwise inappropriate. Reinforcement learning (RL) can provide such corrective signals, but often relies on externally specified rewards or curated non-expert data, both of which are costly to obtain in robotics. We show that offline RL for VLA models need not rely on curated non-expert trajectories: successful expert demonstrations alone can be transformed into dense corrective supervision through instruction relabeling. Specifically, by pairing expert actions with mismatched alternative instructions, we synthesize counterfactual instruction-observation-action tuples from the dataset and combine them with adversarial discriminator training to learn an instruction-grounded reward model for offline RL, without collecting additional rollouts or annotations. On the robustness-focused LIBERO-PRO benchmark, our method improves robustness to object position and task perturbations over a strong state-of-the-art baseline. It also outperforms competitive baselines in real-robot experiments on the TX-G2 (compatible with AGIBot G2). More broadly, our results suggest that, for data-constrained VLA learning, extracting denser supervision from each demonstration can complement collecting additional data.
