Article Summary

Agentic robot systems combine language-model reasoning with robot policies to monitor execution and recover from failures. However, reviewing every action chunk incurs substantial overhead, even in familiar situations. We introduce FastHarness, an experience-driven execution harness that adaptively schedules GPT-6 Astra supervision of a π0.5 policy. A fast path uses stage memory and reviewed outcomes to reduce review frequency as experience accumulates, while a complementary recovery path focuses supervision on correcting errors. Once recovery is verified, routine execution resumes, with failure experience retained to guide future interventions. The policy remains frozen and generates fresh actions from current observations. Across four simulated manipulation tasks, reviewer token use decreases by an average of 57.2% per task from the first evaluated episode to the mean of the final five episodes. Mean episode time decreases from 85.5 to 52.0 minutes over the same interval. On the same tasks, mean success increases from 80% for GPT-as-Policy (π0.5 + GPT-6 Astra) to 97.19% with FastHarness. These results highlight adaptive supervision as a practical route to more efficient agentic robotics without additional model training.
