Die VLA-Modelle haben bei den Standard-Robotermanipulationsbenchmarks eine starke Leistung erzielt. Allerdings kann ihre Zuverlässigkeit bei Abweichungen von den nominalen Einstellungen erheblich abnehmen. Störungen in Objektpositionen und Aufgabenanweisungen können zu einem vollständigen Aufgabenversagen führen. Die bestehenden VLA-Politiken fehlen im Allgemeinen an einem expliziten Laufzeitmechanismus, um diese Fehlermodi zu unterscheiden und eine geeignete Wiederherstellungsstrategie zu wählen. Um dieses Problem systematisch zu lindern, schlagen wir FIT-MAC vor, ein fehlerbewusstes, geschlossenes Multi-Agent-Control Framework zur Verbesserung der Robustheit von VLA-Politiken bei Schlussfolgerung.

Abstract

Vision-language-action (VLA) models have achieved strong performance on standard robotic manipulation benchmarks. However, their reliability can degrade substantially when task conditions deviate from the nominal setting. Perturbations in object positions and task instructions may lead to complete task failure. Existing VLA policies generally lack an explicit runtime mechanism for distinguishing these failure modes and selecting an appropriate recovery strategy. To systematically mitigate this issue, we propose FIT-MAC, a failure-aware, closed-loop multi-agent control framework for improving the robustness of VLA policies at inference time. FIT-MAC augments a VLA policy with an inference-time control layer. First, the Planner Agent parses the language instruction into a structured task specification that captures the manipulation goal and spatial constraints, and the Grounder Agent resolves each instruction-level reference to a visual target. Next, the Verifier Agent tracks phase-specific execution progress, distinguishes target-binding errors from local execution failures, and determines whether intervention is warranted. The Correction Agent then routes permitted interventions to target rebinding or bounded grasping or placement recovery, depending on the failure type. When no intervention is required, the pretrained VLA remains the default action generator. Extensive experiments on LIBERO-PRO demonstrate that FIT-MAC improves robustness across multiple VLA backbones, consistently increasing success rates and achieving state-of-the-art performance under diverse perturbations.
