Sparse ActionGen: Accelerating Diffusion Policy with Real-time Pruning

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2601.12894v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Diffusion Policy has dominated action generation due to its strong capabilities for modeling multi-modal action distributions, but its multi-step denoising processes make it impractical for real-time visuomotor control. Existing caching-based acceleration methods typically rely on $\textit{static}$ schedules that fail to adapt to the $\textit{dynamics}$ of robot-environment interactions, thereby leading to suboptimal performance.
