ACRO: Actor-Critic Rollout Orchestration
arXiv cs.RO0 views
arXiv:2610.19677v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Executing a vision-language-action (VLA) policy involves deciding when to continue an attempt and when to intervene to improve its chances of success. We introduce ACRO, an Actor--Critic rollout orchestration layer that makes these decisions for a fixed VLA. ACRO seeks interventions that offer a more promising continuation, are physically feasible, and leave sufficient time to complete the task. A Critic learned from policy rollouts estimates success prospects to decide when to intervene and select a re-entry target along the executed trajectory. Trajectory Retraction shortcuts the visited path to return the robot to that target, where the same VLA resumes execution from a fresh observation. We evaluate ACRO with GR00T N1.7 and $\pi_{0.5}$ across SimplerEnv, RoboCasa, and real-robot manipulation. Under the same physical execution budget, including all return motion, ACRO improves success by 10.4, 7.3, and 21.7 percentage points, respectively. It also completes additional tasks as the execution budget grows. These results show that controlling when and where a policy resumes can turn its existing capabilities into more successful task executions. Project page: https://junhoo.me/acro
