Abstract: Robot manipulation in complex scenarios usually involves multiple successful actions, which requires generative models to estimate the distribution of various successful actions. In recent years, the diffusion model has been widely studied in many robot manipulation tasks. However, the diffusion model experiences inconsistent noise supervision across various action labels and denoising timesteps, which compromises accurate action prediction. On the one hand, CIDM designs new noise supervision to avoid interference between different successful actions, leading to consistent denoising directions. On the other hand, CIDM unifies all denoising timesteps, avoiding inconsistent predictions of the diffusion model over different timesteps. Moreover, we also designed a novel radial loss to make the model focus on denoising results rather than iterative process routes. Our method achieves a new state-of-the-art performance on RLBench with the highest success rate of 82.3\% on a multi-view setup and 83.9\% on a single-view setup.
