Researchers have developed a new framework called Retrieve to Act (R2A) to improve the robustness of Vision-Language-Action (VLA) policies against visual shifts during execution. R2A structures successful training demonstrations into a motion primitive graph, which is then used during inference to retrieve compatible future motion primitives. This geometric prior is harmonized with the VLA's predicted actions to correct erroneous spatial trajectories while maintaining local reactivity. Experiments show R2A significantly enhances robustness across various VLA architectures and benchmarks, leading to substantial improvements in success rates without policy finetuning. AI
