Progressive Experience Fusion for Multi-Task World Model Control in Endovascular Navigation

The paper introduces Progressive Experience Fusion (PEF) for training a multi-task TD-MPC2 controller to navigate endovascular paths across diverse vascular anatomies. PEF outperforms Soft Actor-Critic and base TD-MPC2, achieving 74% success on training anatomies and 90% on held‑out vasculatures. The controller also transfers to an unseen in‑vitro stroke patient, improving path ratio from 63% to 80% after fine‑tuning.

Toward Autonomous Soft Robotic Endovascular Navigation via Imitation Learning

arXiv:2510. 09497v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In endovascular surgery, endovascular interventionists push a thin tube called a catheter, guided by a thin wire to a treatment site inside the patient's blood vessels to treat various conditions such as blood clots, aneurysms, and malformations.

UniExo: Unified Multi-Skill Policies for Musculoskeletal Locomotion and Co-Adaptive Exoskeleton Control

UniExo is a framework that builds a single, multi-skill musculoskeletal human policy by distilling four imitation experts—walking, turning, running, and backward walking—into one network guided by a skill latent. The human policy is fine‑tuned with reinforcement learning on transition sequences, achieving a 94.7% tracking success rate on unseen clips and greater robustness to perturbations. A hip exoskeleton controller is then co‑adapted with this human policy via multi‑agent reinforcement learning, enabling it to assist across four treadmill speeds and a continuous route of all four skills without explicit mode switching.

Continual Field-Adaptive Models (CFAMs) for Post-Deployment Physical AI

arXiv:2609. 04552v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Unattended interactive autonomy - machines that step into danger in place of humans and complete tasks with human tools - remains a missing capability in mission-critical operations.

FlowBalance: Verifier-Grounded Self-Improvement from On-Policy Reasoning Experience

arXiv:2609. 03241v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A reasoning model can improve from its own on-policy experience, but this inner loop is fragile: terminal verifiers provide reliable yet sparse supervision, while dense same-model guidance can reinforce false confidence or overconcentrate learning on a narrow solution mode.

CLIFT: Turning Gemini Robotics On-Device into Humanoid Specialists via Non-Invasive Closed-Loop Iterative Fine-Tuning

arXiv:2607. 29172v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While robot foundation models are growing increasingly capable, the strongest models are typically trained on proprietary data and remain closed-source, limiting downstream users' ability to adapt them to new tasks, embodiments, and deployment settings.
