The paper proposes EPO, a method that learns policy-specific energy models to pick which low-level robot policy and goal to run at runtime. Its main claim is that new policies can be added without retraining existing ones or a central scheduler. The simulation gains and humanoid sim-to-real demonstrations are reported in an arXiv preprint, so readers should check the benchmarks and how broadly the results generalize.
Energy-Based Policy Orchestration
arXiv:2611.02546v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Hierarchical control scales robot behavior by separating task-level planning from low-level control. In dynamic, high-dimensional tasks, however, a fixed planner-to-policy interface can fail when contacts, balance, or disturbances evolve faster than high-level policy updates. Execution therefore requires choosing not only which low-level policy to run, but also which policy-specific goal should be given to it. We formulate this problem as policy orchestration: runtime selection of a policy-goal pair that is likely to remain feasible while tracking the planner target. We develop EPO, an energy-based policy orchestrator for modular goal-conditioned policy families. For each policy, EPO learns a composite energy over low-level goals, where lower energy corresponds to higher feasibility and more accurate target realization. At runtime, EPO refines each policy's goal and executes the lowest-energy policy-goal pair. Because energies are policy-specific, new policies can be incorporated by learning their own energy models, without retraining the existing policies or a centralized scheduler. In simulation, EPO improves the empirical precision-robustness trade-off by refining policy-specific goals before selectively switching among policies based on energy scores. We further demonstrate sim-to-real deployment of the same frozen policies and energy models on real humanoid loco-manipulation tasks. Project website: https://yewr.github.io/epo
