BORA: Bridging Offline Reinforcement Learning and Online Residual Adaptation for Real-World Dexterous VLA Models 文章

arXiv:2605.30226v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have emerged as a promising paradigm for grounding visual-language understanding into real-world robotic manipulation. However, dexterous manipulation remains challenging for VLA policies due to high-dimensional hand control and compounding execution errors, which makes real-world RL post-training essential for bridging the gap between visually grounded action generation and physically reliable dexterous execution. However, high-dimensional dexterous exploration often triggers temporal inconsistency, sample inefficiency and hardware risks in the real world. To address these challenges, we propose BORA, an offline-to-online RL post-training framework designed for real-world dexterous VLA models. In the offline phase, BORA constructs a critic that takes both the VLM's cognition tokens and action chunks as inputs.
