Many Ways to Succeed: Diversity-Driven RL Fine-Tuning for VLA Generalization
This research proposes DRIVE, a reinforcement learning fine-tuning method for vision-language-action (VLA) systems that leverages successful-behavior diversity to enhance generalization. By grouping rollouts under matched task conditions, aligning trajectories temporally, and deriving an intrinsic reward from relative behavioral diversity, DRIVE improves out-of-domain performance across multiple benchmarks, including LIBERO-Plus, ManiSkill3, and RoboTwin 2.0, with significant gains on a dual-arm AgileX PiPER-X platform.
