Kinematic MeanFlow: One-Step Action Generation Policy for Robotic Foundation Models

Excerpt

arXiv:2610.00864v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In this paper, we study how to achieve one-step action generation in Robotic Foundation Models (RFMs), aiming to overcome the high inference latency of multi-step flow matching. MeanFlow provides a promising framework for this goal, yet its direct application leads to performance collapse. We discover that this stems from two distinctive dynamics exhibited in the RFM velocity field: (1) the ``local acceleration" exhibits stability early on, but s
