Abstract

Long-horizon robotic operation requires memory that scales with essential information rather than execution time. We present a parameter-space memory framework where each episode is stored as a separable object. A neural implicit representation is fitted to episode video from a shared, meta-learned initialization; the resulting weight delta constitutes the memory. Crucially, this delta remains a fixed size regardless of whether the episode spans a hundred or a hundred thousand frames. A learned projector maps the weight delta into token embeddings, conditioning a language model for question answering and a decoder for joint command regression, without frame retrieval at query time. On RoboMME, the language model exceeds chance across all question types, and the decoder achieves a mean $R^2$ of 0.51. Replacing the delta with matched noise drops performance by 11.4 points, while random-origin weights are non-decodable, proving the meta-learned initialization is essential for embedding episode content. By representing individual experiences as fixed-size weight deltas in a common parameter space, this approach decouples memory cost from time horizon and provides a basis for scalable streaming memory.
