Learning Options for Compositional Motor Control with Adapter Banks

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 15, 2026 · UTC

Learning flexible motor primitives is a hallmark of skilled motor control. Recent neuroscience theory proposes that motor primitives may be implemented as low-rank perturbations of a shared recurrent network, but leaves open how such a system is learned. We translate this principle into a novel architecture for learning motor skills end-to-end: a shared recurrent core modulated by a bank of residual adapters, each selected by a discrete latent code. Trained on closed-loop biomechanical control, the adapters develop emergent low-rank perturbations of the recurrent dynamics despite no architectu
