EventSync: Event-Driven Memory Updates for History-Dependent Manipulation

We present EventSync, a hierarchical framework that coordinates task reasoning and action execution through event-driven memory updates.

Key points

  • History-dependent robotic manipulation requires task context and interaction history, as the current observation alone is insufficient to determine the next action.
  • Hierarchical frameworks use task memory for high-level subgoal reasoning and low-level policies for execution.
  • A lightweight Event Monitor combines visual observations with end-effector trajectories to determine whether the current subgoal is complete.
  • Experiments on four real-robot tasks with different memory requirements validate the framework's effectiveness in real-world robotic manipulation.
