PathComp — Lifelong Vision–Language–Action Adaptation

Path-anchored compatibility for continually fine-tuning VLA policies.

PathComp keeps a pretrained vision–language–action (VLA) policy improving on new skills without breaking the old ones, by anchoring compatibility along the model’s computation path rather than only at the output head.

  • Stores compact path anchors at multiple stages of the network to preserve prior behaviors during continual fine-tuning.
  • Anchors are small and reliability-weighted, avoiding the cost of full trajectory replay.
  • Achieves the best matched-protocol average across the LIBERO and ManiSkill3 lifelong-adaptation benchmarks. Currently under review at NeurIPS 2026.
