Review the Episodes, Refine the Lessons: Simple Memory Evolution for Embodied Agents
Review the Episodes, Refine the Lessons: Simple Memory Evolution for Embodied Agents
This paper presents SimplEvo, a framework that allows multimodal large language models (MLLMs) to improve performance by retaining execution experience in self-written text memories without requiring weight updates or post-trained policies.
The authors introduce SimplEvo, a method enabling embodied agents to retain execution experience in self-written text memories without weight updates or post-trained policies, achieving an 81.7% success rate on EBench with GPT-6-Astra under direct control and demonstrating cross-model memory transfer capabilities.

On EBench, SimplEvo lifts the success rate (SR) of GPT-6-Astra under direct control from 46.7% to 81.7%, and tops the RoboDojo leaderboard with 69.63% SR and a score of 75.32. Compared with memories that also store past visual frames, SimplEvo reaches a similar SR with text memory alone while using fewer tokens. With its memories fixed, SimplEvo also gener

The MLLM writes a coordinate-free task memory once from a single demonstration. Under a strict train-test protocol, it then creates a bounded working memory on training episodes only and refines it after each episode with lessons on procedure, com
