1️⃣ 一句话总结
为了提升机器人在复杂任务中的操作能力,E-TTS提出了一种即插即用的模块化框架,通过让机器人在执行任务时不仅回顾历史信息,还能同步优化推理和动作选择,从而显著提升模拟和真实场景下的表现,无需额外训练数据。
Recently, a few works have made early attempts to study test-time scaling for embodied tasks. However, two major challenges remain unsolved: (1) reasoning can effectively improve the performance of the policy, but its scaling mechanism has seldom been studied; (2) historical information is essential, as embodied tasks are inherently long-horizon and sequential, making sole reliance on current observations for action scaling inadequate due to the lack of historical context utilization. To address these challenges, we introduce E-TTS, a modular and plug-and-play Embodied Test-Time Scaling framework that unifies reasoning and action scaling for robotic manipulation via history-aware iterative refinement with vision-language verifiers. To support joint reasoning-action scaling, E-TTS performs reasoning-action joint sampling and scoring in a pairwise manner. To better utilize historical information, E-TTS uses a history buffer to store historical context, which is then used by reasoning and action verifiers to evaluate the sampled candidates. Unlike conventional open-loop TTS methods, E-TTS introduces feedback generation into the sampling process to form a closed-loop iterative refinement mechanism, enhancing both inference efficiency and environmental adaptability. Each component functions as an independent and composable module, allowing flexible and adaptive configuration depending on task requirements. To evaluate the advantages of our framework, we conduct experiments across 4 different benchmarks, 6 environments, 3 embodiments, and 4 base vision-language-action models. The experimental results demonstrate that, without requiring additional expert data collection or retraining, E-TTS consistently improves performance, achieving up to a 33.14% increase in simulation and 26.62% in real-world scenarios.
