MSP: Probabilistically Consistent Multi-Scale Action Generation

摘要

In robotic imitation learning, accurately modeling the multimodality and temporal correlations of long-horizon action sequences remains challenging. Long-horizon tasks require preserving global task intent while executing precise low-level control; otherwise, local errors can accumulate and lead to failure. While recent coarse-to-fine autoregressive models have improved action generation, they struggle to maintain consistency across hierarchies, leading to suboptimal performance in long-horizon tasks. To address these shortcomings, we propose Probabilistically Consistent Multi-Scale Action Generation (MSP), a novel coarse-to-fine approach that promotes cross-scale consistency. MSP adopts a streamlined multi-scale design by directly downsampling in a continuous latent space. A scale-wise autoregressive Transformer is used to generate semantic conditions at each scale, which guide a lightweight MeanFlow model to capture multi-scale latent distributions, enabling probabilistically consistent refinement across scales. Through extensive simulation and real-world experiments, including long-horizon, multi-task, and few-shot generalization settings, we show that MSP outperforms existing coarse-to-fine methods, achieving state-of-the-art performance with high efficiency. Our code will be publicly available upon publication.
