Active Real-World Factor-Based Evaluation for Generalist Robot Policies

Andrew Liao, Hanchen Cui, Karthik Desingh, Aryan Deshwal

Generalist robot manipulation policies trained on large, diverse datasets have shown remarkable promise across a wide range of tasks. However, rigorously evaluating these policies remains a fundamental challenge. Real-world performance depends on a large combinatorial space of ta…

DREAMSTEER: Latent World Models Can Steer VLA Policies During Deployment Without Any Finetuning

Hanchen Cui, Sergio Arnaud, Arjun Majumdar, Daniel Dugas, Elie Aljalbout, Karthik Desingh, et al.

Pretrained vision-language-action (VLA) policies show promising zero-shot generalization, but often fail under deployment-time distribution shift, leading to decreased robustness and inconsistent instruction following. While prior work commonly tackles this by finetuning on in-di…
