Vision-Language-Action (VLA) policies achieve strong performance in robotic manipulation but remain brittle once execution deviates from nominal trajectories. We propose CARE (Corrective Atomic Robotic Execution), a framework that improves recovery by learning from failures encountered during execution. Instead of generating corrective data from manually designed or random perturbations, CARE collects failed rollouts, models stage-conditioned post-failure deviations, and uses the resulting empirical distributions to synthesize representative failure states and corrective demonstrations. At inference time, CARE combines stage-wise planning with physically grounded 3D monitoring to trigger atomic adjustments or re-operations while preserving task progress. We further introduce the Failure State Recovery Benchmark (FSR-Bench), which evaluates recovery from intermediate failure states under local deviations and structural anomalies. Experiments across multiple VLA backbones, simulation benchmarks, and real-world dual-arm tasks show consistent improvements, with average task-success gains of 14.5 points in simulation and 15.9 points in the real world.
