ActiveScale is a framework that enhances active perception for robots by integrating model, data, and hardware innovations. It augments vision‑language‑action models with historical video observations and explicit camera‑pose supervision, and introduces a scalable human‑robot mid‑training recipe using 1000 hours of egocentric and robotic data. The Active‑perception Mobile‑manipulation Platform (AMP) enables single‑operator teleoperation for scalable demonstration collection, leading to improved success rates on active‑perception tasks.
Event cameras, also known as neuromorphic cameras, have gained significant attention in recent years due to their high temporal resolution, high dynamic range, and low power consumption. While many studies and datasets in neuromorphic vision have focused on automotive and drone applications, human-centric daily-life scenarios remain largely underrepresented, despite their importance for developing and benchmarking event-based perception systems.

Fine-grained understanding of operating room (OR) activity could enable workflow-aware assistance, yet remains difficult due to clutter, occlusions, and limited sensing. The prevailing approach to model this environment is scene graphs as an interpretable representation of OR interactions.

arXiv:2606. 27872v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have demonstrated strong capabilities in robotic manipulation, but their performance degrades significantly in long-horizon tasks due to cumulative error propagation.
arXiv:2606. 26260v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In laser penetration welding, the assessment of penetration state and weld seam morphology plays a crucial role in determining the weld quality.
The paper presents MegaEvent, an event‑based visual place recognition system that remains robust to viewpoint changes. By converting five large‑scale geo‑tagged datasets into synthetic event streams and fine‑tuning a vision transformer with a multi‑loss function, MegaEvent achieves an average Recall@1 of 82% on three event‑based localization datasets, outperforming existing methods by 20 recall points. The authors also introduce the Springfield‑Event‑VPR dataset, a 3.7 km walking route recorded in three camera orientations, where MegaEvent surpasses the strongest baseline by 9 recall points.
arXiv:2609.09396v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As Vision-Language Models (VLMs) advance toward physical deployment, the focus has remained on action-oriented Embodied AI evaluated on subject-centric...
WALL-WM is a World Action Model that shifts video-action learning from chunk-centric optimization to event-grounded Vision-Language-Action pretraining, using semantically coherent action events as the atomic unit of learning. Existing WAMs commonly initialize from multimodal or video foundation models and then optimize fixed-length action chunks conditioned directly on the current observation and instruction.
