SteerAct adapts a frozen robot action model using outcome-labeled successful and failed rollouts, without updating its weights during steering. A pretrained sparse autoencoder (SAE) exposes feature activity, whose temporal patterns select one feature offline and determine online when and how to intervene. On RoboTwin 2.0 with π₀.₅, mean success reaches 77.7%, versus 69.0% for Base, but gains are not universal.
