T²Mem: ロボティクスのためのテスト時メモリ学習

原文アブストラクト

Memory-dependent robotic manipulation requires policies to use information that is no longer available in the current observation. Retaining history alone is insufficient: memory must preserve information that supports future actions. One challenge is whether a memory-free foundation model can learn to retain and use historical information from action demonstrations alone, without external memory support. We introduce T$^2$Mem, a framework that develops this capability within a pretrained vision-language-action policy, without external reasoning models or memory-specific annotations. T$^2$Mem uses test-time training to encode observation history into compact fast weights through online self-supervised updates, avoiding repeated processing of the full history. An observation-grounded interface extracts vision-language information for memory formation and supplies retrieved context to the action expert. Action supervision shapes what the memory learns to retain and use, while alternating memory-policy learning gives each component a fixed counterpart during optimization. Across 16 RoboMME tasks, T$^2$Mem improves average success from 17.93% to 56.83% over the memory-free base policy and outperforms the recurrent-memory methods reported in the benchmark, while controlled profiling indicates at least 3x inference speedup over explicit methods.
