Researchers have introduced VPWEM, a novel visuomotor policy designed to tackle non-Markovian robotic tasks that require long-term memory. Unlike existing methods that struggle with extended context or incur high computational costs, VPWEM utilizes both a short-term working memory and a Transformer-based compressor to create fixed-size episodic memory embeddings. This approach allows for efficient processing of past experiences, leading to improved performance on complex manipulation tasks. Experiments show VPWEM significantly outperforms state-of-the-art baselines on memory-intensive benchmarks. AI
