Continual Field-Adaptive Models (CFAMs) for Post-Deployment Physical AI
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.04552v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Unattended interactive autonomy - machines that step into danger in place of humans and complete tasks with human tools - remains a missing capability in mission-critical operations. These domains offer scarce training data and only onboard compute, yet deployed systems must face novelty without erasing prior competence. We introduce Continual Field-Adaptive Models (CFAMs), which learn efficiently in the lab and continue learning after deployment through autonomous, gradient-free, on-device updates.
