New framework audits robot demonstration data for instruction-trajectory mismatches

Researchers have developed a new framework called Multimodal Probabilistic Fusion (MMPF) to audit and correct subtle errors in robot demonstration datasets. These errors, known as Instruction-Trajectory Mismatches (ITMs), occur when a correct robot movement is paired with an incorrect language instruction, potentially corrupting the learning process for vision-language-action policies. MMPF treats each data modality as an expert, estimates a task label distribution, and fuses these modalities using predictive entropy weighting to improve detection and correction accuracy. Experiments on LIBERO benchmarks and real-world robot data demonstrated MMPF's effectiveness in identifying ITMs and enhancing downstream policy learning, particularly in tasks requiring language for disambiguation.

IMPACT Improves the reliability of robot training data, potentially leading to more robust and accurate robotic systems.

    Auditing Instruction-Trajectory Mismatches in Multimodal Robot Demonstrations

    arXiv:2608.07895v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Robot demonstration datasets used to train vision-language-action policies can contain a subtle but harmful failure mode: trajectories that are behaviorally correct but paired with the wrong language instruction. We study post-hoc…
