收录解读
问题与背景:长时程机器人任务的一个核心瓶颈是数据采集、策略学习和部署流程割裂,导致需要大量人工重置、策略组合脆弱且执行阶段与采集阶段语义不一致。
方法/新意:RoboClaw 用一个 VLM-driven controller 统一数据采集、策略学习和任务执行,并引入 entangled action pairs,让前向操作和恢复动作形成自复位循环,从而支持连续 on-policy 数据获取和长期任务编排。
意义/放在仓库中的位置:这篇论文属于 agentic robotics / long-horizon manipulation 主线。它的重要性在于把机器人生命周期中的采集、训练和执行放到同一个 agentic 框架里。
局限/为何不再升一级:虽然真实机器人价值高,但方法影响主要仍在 long-horizon manipulation 这一赛道。

RoboClaw:一个用于可扩展长周期机器人任务的智能体框架。视觉-语言-动作 (VLA) 系统在语言驱动的机器人操作方面展现出巨大潜力。然而,将其扩展到长周期任务仍然充满挑战。现有流程通常将数据采集、策略学习和部署分开,导致严重依赖手动环境复位和脆弱的多策略执行。我们提出了 RoboClaw,一个智能体机器人框架,它在一个单一的 VLM 驱动控制器下统一了数据采集、策略学习和任务执行。在策略层面,RoboClaw 引入了纠缠动作对 (EAP),它将前向操作行为与逆向恢复动作耦合,形成自复位循环,用于自主数据采集。这种机制实现了持续的在线策略数据采集和迭代策略优化,同时最大限度地减少了人工干预。在部署过程中,同一个智能体执行高级推理,并动态编排学习到的策略原语以完成长周期任务。通过在采集和执行之间保持一致的上下文语义,RoboClaw 减少了两个阶段之间的不匹配,并提高了多策略的鲁棒性。在真实世界操作任务中的实验表明,与传统的开环流程相比,RoboClaw 提高了稳定性和可扩展性,同时显著减少了机器人在整个生命周期中的人工投入,在长周期任务上比基线方法成功率提高了 25%,并减少了 53.7% 的人工时间投入。
原始摘要
Abstract. Vision-Language-Action (VLA) systems have shown strong potential for language-driven robotic manipulation. However, scaling them to long-horizon tasks remains challenging. Existing pipelines typically separate data collection, policy learning, and deployment, resulting in heavy reliance on manual environment resets and brittle multi-policy execution. We present RoboClaw, an agentic robotics framework that unifies data collection, policy learning, and task execution under a single VLM-driven controller. At the policy level, RoboClaw introduces Entangled Action Pairs (EAP), which couple forward manipulation behaviors with inverse recovery actions to form self-resetting loops for autonomous data collection. This mechanism enables continuous on-policy data acquisition and iterative policy refinement with minimal human intervention. During deployment, the same agent performs high-level reasoning and dynamically orchestrates learned policy primitives to accomplish long-horizon tasks. By maintaining consistent contextual semantics across collection and execution, RoboClaw reduces mismatch between the two phases and improves multi-policy robustness. Experiments in real-world manipulation tasks demonstrate improved stability and scalability compared to conventional open-loop pipelines, while significantly reducing human effort throughout the robot lifecycle, achieving a 25% improvement in success rate over baseline methods on long-horizon tasks and reducing human time investment by 53.7%.
