FocalPolicy: Frequency-Optimized Chunking and Locally Anchored Flow Matching for Coherent Visuomotor Policy

Visuomotor policies aim to learn complex manipulation tasks from expert demonstrations. However, generating smooth and coherent trajectories remains challenging, as it requires balancing proximal precision with distal foresight. Existing approaches typically focus on optimizing intra-chunk action distributions, often neglecting the inter-chunk coherence. Consequently, inter-chunk discontinuities significantly impede the learning of coherent long-horizon actions. To overcome this limitation and achieve a synergetic balance between precision and foresight, we propose FocalPolicy, a foresight-aware visuomotor policy that combines Frequency-Optimized Chunking with Locally Anchored flow matching. We introduce a foresight composite objective that supervises time-domain alignment within the proximal actions while regularizing frequency-domain structure over multiple future action chunks to improve cross-chunk coherence. To efficiently learn complex action distributions, we design locally anchored campling to enhance target signal propagation efficiency during consistency flow matching training. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method consistently outperforms existing approaches while further validating the effective generalizability of our proposed modules to other baseline models. The project will be released as open source.
