contents Memory-augmented robotic policies are essential in handling memory-dependent tasks. However, existing approaches typically rely on simple observation window extensions, struggling to simultaneously achieve precise task state tracking and robust long-horizon retention. To overcome these challenges, inspired by the Atkinson-Shiffrin memory model, we propose MemoAct, a hierarchical memory-based policy that leverages distinct memory tiers to tackle specific bottlenecks. Specifically, lossless short-term memory ensures precise task state tracking, while compressed long-term memory enables robust long-horizon retention. To enrich the evaluation landscape, we construct MemoryRTBench based on RoboTwin 2.0, specifically tailored to assess policy capabilities in task state tracking and long-horizon retention. Extensive experiments across simulated and real-world scenarios demonstrate that MemoAct achieves superior performance compared to both existing Markovian baselines and history-aware policies.
