# FMLP-Policy: Flow Matching MLP for Robotic Control
This project explores RRAM-compatible neural network architectures for robotic manipulation policies, replacing UNet with pure MLP (Linear + ReLU only) for deployment on analog RRAM accelerators.
## Overview
Diffusion Policy achieves SOTA on robotic manipulation but requires 50-100 denoising steps — impractical for RRAM deployment (each step needs ADC/DAC conversion). We explore:
1. **Streaming Flow Policy (SFP)** reduces to 1-4 integration steps
2. **MLP velocity networks** replaces UNet with RRAM-friendly architecture
3. **Quantization + noise tolerance** validates INT8 deployment with device variation
## Models

| [pusht_diffusion_v4](https://huggingface.co/Liyux/pusht_diffusion_v4) | ResNet18 + UNet | DP baseline, 226 episodes |
| [pusht_diffusion_v5](https://huggingface.co/Liyux/pusht_diffusion_v5) | ResNet18 + UNet | DP baseline, 255 episodes (best) |
| [pusht_sfp_v9](https://huggingface.co/Liyux/pusht_sfp_v9) | ResNet18 + UNet | SFP working baseline |
| [pusht_sfp_v14](https://huggingface.co/Liyux/pusht_sfp_v14) | ResNet18 + UNet | SFP with h50/k2/σ1 params |

## Dataset
| Dataset | Episodes | Description |
|---------|----------|-------------|

## Key Results
**Sim (2D Push-T):**
- MLP achieves 0.86-0.88 FP32 vs UNet 0.74
- INT8 quantization: Bottleneck128+Skip achieves 0.86

**Real Robot:**
- DP v5: >90% success rate
- SFP v9: >70% success rate
- SFP v14/v15: > 80% success rate
