The gist: Long-horizon manipulation requires robots to retain task-relevant history while revising conclusions no longer supported by physical evidence.
Abstract
Long-horizon manipulation requires robots to retain task-relevant history while revising conclusions no longer supported by physical evidence. Retaining observations alone does not specify which completed conditions should be withdrawn after a disturbance or which obligations require repair. We introduce REMM, Revisable Embodied Memory for Manipulation, a supervisory memory layer for a frozen G0.5 vision-language-action executor. REMM separates an append-only evidence history from revisable task state and explicitly links derived relations and completed conditions to their supporting facts. When accepted evidence changes a supporting fact, it withdraws dependent conclusions and schedules targeted recovery at verified skill boundaries without updating the executor. Across 51 physical trials, including operator-assisted runs, REMM improves mean recorded task progress over the strongest baseline from 57% to 91% in intervention recovery and from 43% to 70% in sequence recall. Complementary video diagnostics show improved grounding of retained history into the next instruction, including comparisons with π 0.5-compatible high-level planner adaptations. These results support revisable memory as a practical interface for continued manipulation without policy retraining. Project: https://revanthsenthil.github.io/remm/.
