SpeedTuning: Speeding Up Policy Execution with Lightweight Reinforcement Learning
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.09138v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While learned robotic policies hold promise for advancing generalizable manipulation, their practical deployment is often hindered by suboptimal execution speeds. Imitation learning policies are inherently limited by hardware constraints and the speed of the operator during data collection. In addition, there are no established methods for accelerating policies learned via imitation, and the empirical relationship between execution speed and task success remains underexplored. To address these issues, we introduce SpeedTuning, a reinforcement l
