Real-world robot deployment rarely maintains the training-stage camera setup, where cameras often experience repositioning or remounting depending on actual scenarios. Existing view-robust Vision-Language-Action (VLA) policies tolerate such camera variations only when the camera extrinsics are explicitly provided, making them fragile and hard to use especially when view robustness is critical.
The paper introduces a minimalist visual-inertial odometry system that uses only four downward-facing photodiodes with optical Gabor masks and an IMU to estimate motion for differential-drive robots. By jointly optimizing mask parameters and a Temporal Convolutional Network in a physically-grounded simulator, the model decodes speed from the photodiode signals and combines it with IMU angular speed to produce a continuous planar trajectory. Experiments on a prototype robot across indoor and outdoor terrains show that the system closely follows reference trajectories without real-world fine-tuning.

TAPVid-MV is a new benchmark for tracking any point in 3D across multiple synchronized camera views. It comprises 284 sequences, 1,142 calibrated camera streams, and 109,769 point tracks, covering indoor and outdoor domains and derived from various modalities such as depth, LiDAR, SLAM, and simulation. The dataset is visually verified, and evaluation shows that current multi‑view trackers do not consistently outperform monocular trackers, highlighting geometry recovery as a key bottleneck.
