Abstract

Diffusion-based policies have achieved remarkable results in robotic manipulation but often struggle to adapt rapidly in dynamic scenarios, leading to delayed responses or task failures. We present DCDP, a Dynamic Closed-Loop Diffusion Policy framework that integrates chunk-based action generation with real-time correction. DCDP integrates a self-supervised dynamic feature encoder, cross-attention fusion, and an asymmetric action encoder-decoder to inject environmental dynamics before action execution, achieving real-time closed-loop action correction and enhancing the system's adaptability in dynamic scenarios. In dynamic PushT simulations, DCDP improves adaptability by 19% without retraining while requiring only 5% additional computation. Its modular design enables plug-and-play integration, achieving both temporal coherence and real-time responsiveness in dynamic robotic scenarios, including real-world manipulation tasks.

Set-Supervised Diffusion Policy: Learning Action-Chunking Diffusion through Corrections

Diffusion policies have recently emerged as a powerful framework for robotic manipulation. However, like other behavior cloning methods, they remain vulnerable to distributional shift, often requiring human-in-the-loop interventions to correct failures during deployment. These interactions naturally provide paired supervision in the form of the robot's undesired actions and the human teacher's corrective actions. Yet existing data aggregation pipelines and standard behavior cloning losses largely ignore this negative signal from undesired actions, leading to overfitting to teacher's actions and an increasing reliance on costly expert data. To address this limitation, we propose Set-Supervised Diffusion Policy (SDP), a novel learning framework that utilizes contrastive action-chunk data to train diffusion policies from human corrections. From paired positive and negative action-chunks, SDP constructs a set of desired action-chunks and designs a training pipeline that encourages the diffusion policy to align with the set. Through extensive experiments across multiple robotic manipulation tasks, we demonstrate that SDP consistently improves policy performance, with particularly strong gains in robustness to noisy data. Moreover, SDP induces high-quality aggregated datasets, enabling more efficient and reliable policy learning from human-in-the-loop corrections.

AdaWorldPolicy: World-Model-Driven Diffusion Policy with Online Adaptive Learning for Robotic Manipulation

Effective robotic manipulation requires policies that can anticipate physical outcomes and adapt to real-world environments. Effective robotic manipulation requires policies that can anticipate physical outcomes and adapt to real-world environments. In this work, we introduce a unified framework, World-Model-Driven Diffusion Policy with Online Adaptive Learning (AdaWorldPolicy) to enhance robotic manipulation under dynamic conditions with minimal human involvement. Our core insight is that world models provide strong supervision signals, enabling online adaptive learning in dynamic environments, which can be complemented by force-torque feedback to mitigate dynamic force shifts. Our AdaWorldPolicy integrates a world model, an action expert, and a force predictor-all implemented as interconnected Flow Matching Diffusion Transformers (DiT). They are interconnected via the multi-modal self-attention layers, enabling deep feature exchange for joint learning while preserving their distinct modularity characteristics. We further propose a novel Online Adaptive Learning (AdaOL) strategy that dynamically switches between an Action Generation mode and a Future Imagination mode to drive reactive updates across all three modules. This creates a powerful closed-loop mechanism that adapts to both visual and physical domain shifts with minimal overhead. Across a suite of simulated and real-robot benchmarks, our AdaWorldPolicy achieves state-of-the-art performance, with dynamical adaptive capacity to out-of-distribution scenarios.

Dynamic Neural Koopman Distillation for Fast Robot Control Using Diffusion Models

Diffusion models excel at generating diverse, multimodal trajectories for robotic control, yet their iterative denoising process introduces latency that can constrain real-time closed-loop execution. To address this problem, we propose a Dynamic Neural Koopman (DNK) distillation framework, which distills multistep diffusion inference into a single forward pass conditioned on observations and sampled noise. Specifically, we introduce a Factorized Dynamic Koopman (FDK) layer that models the denoising process through a latent linear transition. The noisy trajectory input is lifted into a latent space, where the FDK layer parameterizes a factorized linear operator with condition-dependent eigenvalues that adapt the noisy-to-denoised transition to the current context. We evaluate DNK across robot-control benchmarks that span locomotion, state-based, and image-based manipulation, comparing against accelerated generative-policy baselines. The results demonstrate that DNK achieves competitive or improved closed-loop performance relative to accelerated generative-policy baselines, while substantially reducing inference latency relative to the strongest high-performing one-step baselines. On long-horizon manipulation tasks, DNK achieves competitive performance with substantially fewer inference parameters than the one-step policy baselines. Hardware experiments on a physical Kinova manipulator further demonstrate millisecond-scale inference and reduced task completion time. A project page is available at https://fdkoopman.github.io/.
