Emergent Compositional Skills in Mixture-of-Experts VLAs

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2607.20771v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We consider the problem of learning compositional robot policies end-to-end from expert demonstrations, without any pre-specified notion of task decomposition or hierarchy. We ask whether a VLA trained with a simplified Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) action head can emergently learn to decompose tasks into reusable, interpretable primitives. We find that learned experts are heavily reused across tasks and consistently correspond to qualitatively distinct low-level behaviors, suggesting that the router implicitly learns to perform high-level sequencing while experts serve as compositional primitives. Our MoE matches the task performance of a monolithic baseline while demonstrating meaningful expert specialization, a step toward modular, in
