摘要:
视觉-语言-动作(VLA)模型在闭环机器人控制中通常基于马尔可夫假设,导致需要历史上下文的任务易出错。为引入记忆,现有VLA要么从记忆库检索,易受干扰;要么扩展帧窗口,固定时间跨度限制长期记忆。本文提出ReMem-VLA,一种配备双组可学习查询的递归记忆VLA模型:帧级递归记忆查询用于跨连续帧传播信息以支持短期记忆,块级递归记忆查询用于跨时间块携带上下文以支持长期记忆。这些查询通过端到端训练聚合和维护相关上下文,隐式指导模型决策,无需额外训练或推理成本。此外,为增强视觉记忆,引入过去观察预测作为辅助训练目标。通过广泛的记忆导向仿真和现实机器人实验,证明ReMem-VLA在多个维度(空间、序列、事件、时间、视觉记忆)均表现出强大的记忆能力。ReMem-VLA显著优于无记忆VLA基线模型π0.5和OpenVLA-OFT,并在依赖记忆的任务上大幅超越MemoryVLA。
英文摘要:
Vision-language-action (VLA) models for closed-loop robot control are typically cast under the Markov assumption, making them prone to errors on tasks requiring historical context. To incorporate memory, existing VLAs either retrieve from a memory bank, which can be misled by distractors, or extend the frame window, whose fixed horizon still limits long-term retention. In this paper, we introduce ReMem-VLA, a Recurrent Memory VLA model equipped with two sets of learnable queries: frame-level recurrent memory queries for propagating information across consecutive frames to support short-term memory, and chunk-level recurrent memory queries for carrying context across temporal chunks for long-term memory. These queries are trained end-to-end to aggregate and maintain relevant context over time, implicitly guiding the model's decisions without additional training or inference cost. Furthermore, to enhance visual memory, we introduce Past Observation Prediction as an auxiliary training objective. Through extensive memory-centric simulation and real-world robot experiments, we demonstrate that ReMem-VLA exhibits strong memory capabilities across multiple dimensions, including spatial, sequential, episodic, temporal, and visual memory. ReMem-VLA significantly outperforms memory-free VLA baselines $π$0.5 and OpenVLA-OFT and surpasses MemoryVLA on memory-dependent tasks by a large margin.
