EXPO-FT: Sample-Efficient Reinforcement Learning Finetuning for Vision-Language-Action Models 文章

arXiv:2605.25477v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The ability to efficiently and reliably learn new tasks has been a foundational challenge in robotics. Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have demonstrated strong generalization across diverse manipulation tasks, yet pretrained policies consistently fall short of the reliability required for real-world deployment. Reinforcement learning (RL) fine-tuning offers a promising path to bridge this gap, but existing approaches either train from scratch without fully leveraging pretrained priors, or fine-tune VLAs without achieving the sample efficiency and success rates that practical deployment demands. We present EXPO-FT, a system for stable, sample-efficient RL finetuning of pretrained VLA policies that closes this gap.
