arXiv:2607. 00514v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Automatic understanding of dynamic 4D point clouds, the 3D-point sequences captured over time by depth sensors and LiDAR, is central to robotics and embodied perception.
arXiv:2607. 10762v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Cross-modal distillation from Vision Foundation Models (VFMs) to LiDAR backbones has recently emerged as a self-supervised pretraining strategy that reduces reliance on dense point-wise annotation for 3D scene understanding.
Cross-modal place recognition (CMPR) aims to identify the same location across heterogeneous sensing modalities, such as vision and LiDAR. Existing methods commonly bridge the modality gap using complex alignment modules, multi-stage training, or full fine-tuning of pretrained backbones.
arXiv:2605. 00271v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Event cameras provide several unique advantages over standard frame-based sensors, including high temporal resolution, low latency, and robustness to extreme lighting.
arXiv:2606. 20189v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Leveraging Vision Foundation Models (VFMs) for camera-to-LiDAR knowledge distillation offers a promising solution to the scarcity of annotated data needed to represent the immense geometric and kinematic diversity of real-world autonomous driving (AD).

World models enable agents to perform forward rollout and planning without real-world interaction. However, their application in open-world embodied intelligence remains limited by the high cost of action annotations and the heterogeneity of action spaces across platforms.
arXiv:2606. 28215v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Extracting dynamic 4D object interactions from massive, in-the-wild monocular videos offers a highly efficient data collection pathway for scaling Embodied AI and training VLAs.
arXiv:2607. 16012v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-Task Learning (MTL) in robotics perception systems supports comprehensive 3D spatial scene understanding by integrating semantic segmentation and depth estimation.
arXiv:2608. 05774v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Joint-embedding predictive architectures learn by predicting latent representations of missing observations, yet many masked JEPAs are evaluated primarily through the encoders they produce.
4D generation synthesizes dynamic 3D scenes from conditions such as text or images. Existing methods either reconstruct generated RGB videos with a separate 4D model or adapt a particular video generator to predict geometry directly.
arXiv:2602. 24181v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Pre-trained vision encoders like DINOv2 have demonstrated exceptional performance on unimodal tasks.
arXiv:2605. 16713v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Modern Vision-Language Models (VLMs) achieve strong semantic recognition, yet remain brittle on elementary spatial relations such as left of, on, behind, and between.
