Dual-Stream Memory for Vision-Language-Action Policies

arXiv:2610.13262v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Memory-dependent manipulation requires a policy to track execution state and recover visual evidence that is no longer observable. We propose dual-stream memory for vision-language-action policies, assigning these requirements to complementary representations. A task-agnostic Gated DeltaNet compresses history into one temporal token, supervised by progress prediction and action-conditioned feature reconstruction. A task-conditioned retriever retains frames above a fixed relevance threshold; linear multi-scale fusion encodes each frame into sixteen spatial tokens. We then freeze the temporal compressor and jointly optimize retrieval and policy learning. Across sixteen RoboMME tasks, the complete model achieves 49.22% mean success versus 44.51% for the published FrameSamp+Modul reference, improving fourteen tasks and all four suite means. On four real-robot tasks, mean success reaches 62.5% versus 37.5%, with the largest gains on repeated actions requiring execution-stage discrimination. These results support combining execution context with selective visual access, while failures under cup swaps expose persistent identity tracking as an unresolved requirement.
