The authors address catastrophic forgetting in VLA policies, which commonly occurs when a pretrained model is finetuned sequentially on new manipulation tasks.
Replay-free continual learning method prevents forgetting in vision-language-action models
SAMBAR combines the method of multipliers with selective parameter anchoring to let VLA policies learn new tasks while preserving old ones.
