Uncertainty-Gated Exploration Noise Suppresses Task Collapse in Online RL Fine-Tuning of a Flow-Matching Vision-Language-Action Policy
Online reinforcement learning fine-tuning of pretrained flow-matching vision-language-action (VLA) policies promises robots that keep learning after deployment, but continued updates often destroy competence on individual tasks while the aggregate still looks healthy. We study this failure mode, which we call task coll...
