Measuring the Stability Assumption Behind Action Chunking

Excerpt

arXiv:2610.01626v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Action chunking improves the performance of policies learned by behavioural cloning, and several mechanisms have been proposed to explain why, including temporal consistency, horizon reduction, representation learning, and reduced error compounding. We instead study what happens to an action error once it enters the system. At each state, we inject a small action error and measure how fast it grows or shrinks under two execution regimes: open-loop,
