📝 Abstract
Generalist robot policies offer useful initialization, but refining compact specialists through limited physical interaction requires informative learning feedback. We present FIERCE, a generalist-initialized reinforcement learning framework centered on a unified, task-adaptive progress-failure evaluator. Its architecture shares an observation-language representation between an observed-progress head and an action-conditioned latent predictor whose past and current predictions feed a causal sequence head for task-failure estimation. Joint supervision from progress and preference labels, synchronized commands and observations, and terminal outcomes trains the evaluator; target-task rollouts support adaptation and calibration. Fixed evaluator snapshots provide progress shaping and failure-risk penalties alongside independently verified terminal rewards, while evaluator and policy updates alternate as new experience is collected. Refinement requires neither continued generalist action queries nor a dedicated target-task simulator or manually annotated dense rewards. Only the compact specialist is retained at deployment. The evaluation separates feedback quality, policy-learning efficiency, and deployment cost across simulation and two contact-rich real tasks. Code, model weights, and data-restoration tools are released at https://github.com/ar-mine/FIERCE.
