Article Summary

In this work, we present B-spline Policy (BSP), an action representation designed for accelerating robot manipulation policies. Rather than predicting discrete-time action chunks, BSP parameterizes actions as continuous B-spline curves defined by a set of knots and control points. This representation yields smooth, time-continuous trajectories that can be temporally scaled and executed by low-level controllers at higher frequencies and speeds. We show that B-spline-parameterized actions can be seamlessly integrated into standard policy learning pipelines by directly predicting B-spline parameters. Experiments on simulated and real-world tasks demonstrate that BSP significantly reduces task completion time, achieving substantial improvements over baseline methods while maintaining strong success rates.
