FIT-MAC: A Closed-Loop Multi-Agent Framework for Robust Vision-Language-Action Models

To systematically mitigate this issue, we propose FIT-MAC, a failure-aware, closed-loop multi-agent control framework for improving the robustness of VLA policies at inference time.

Key points

  • Vision-language-action (VLA) models have achieved strong performance on standard robotic manipulation benchmarks.
  • Perturbations in object positions and task instructions may lead to complete task failure.
  • FIT-MAC augments a VLA policy with an inference-time control layer.
  • First, the Planner Agent parses the language instruction into a structured task specification that captures the manipulation goal and spatial constraints, and the Grounder Agent resolves each instruction-level reference to a visual target.
