Dream to Remember: Continual Steering of Generalist Robot Policies with World Models
Generalist robot policies are trained with imitation learning and are bounded by the quality and coverage of their demonstrations. Reinforcement learning can improve and extend them, either by fine-tuning the policy weights or by training a small module to steer the input noise of a frozen generative policy. When tasks arrive sequentially, both approaches suffer from catastrophic forgetting. Fine-tuning on a task degrades prior tasks, and steering only shifts forgetting to the shared steering module. We propose Dream to Remember (D2R), which continually steers a frozen generalist policy toward new tasks, while retaining its earlier skills. As the steering module learns a new task, a froze...
