SkillSpotter: Pose-Aware Multi-View Skilled Action Detection and Grading in Ego-Exo Videos

arXiv:2606. 31127v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: To enable personalized, real-time coaching using Augmented Reality glasses or fixed camera setups in domains such as sports, cooking, or music, a system must understand not just what a person does, but how well they execute an activity.

Moving Beyond More Views: Redundancy-Aware Ego-Exo Fusion for Proficiency Estimation

The paper introduces a redundancy-aware fusion framework for EgoExo proficiency estimation, which integrates fine-grained motion cues from egocentric views with spatial context from exocentric views. It identifies multiview redundancy and overfitting as key challenges and proposes two modules—AdaMVS for adaptive view selection and VIB-GB for compressing redundant signals—to address them. Experiments on EgoExo-4D and EgoExo-Fitness show that the method learns to select informative views and fuse them effectively, achieving state‑of‑the‑art results.

Occluded Gait Recognition with Mixture of Experts: An Action Detection Perspective

The paper introduces GaitMoE, an action‑detection based mixture‑of‑experts framework for occluded gait recognition, leveraging temporal and action experts to infer missing body parts from adjacent frames and gait cycles. It also presents a new Occluded Gait database (OccGait) with diverse occlusion scenarios and annotations, and demonstrates superior performance on OccGait, OccCASIA‑B, Gait3D, and GREW datasets.

CLAP: Cross-Embodiment Video World Models are Zero-Shot Physical Simulators

CLAP is a cross-embodiment framework for action‑conditioned video generation that can be trained on diverse internet‑scale videos from both humans and robots. It reconciles different action spaces—end‑effector poses, language instructions, and latent actions—using a curriculum that first learns physics priors from unlabeled video and then grounds them in real‑world action spaces for zero‑shot deployment. The resulting models match or exceed state‑of‑the‑art single‑embodiment models in challenging environments and support few‑shot adaptation across a wide range of robot morphologies.

ZimaBlue: Evolving Generalizable World Action Models through Scalable Video Pre-training

ZimaBlue is a scalable framework that learns generalizable World Action Models (WAMs) from large-scale egocentric videos. It follows a three-stage curriculum: causal video pre‑training, video‑action mid‑training with a unified action representation, and final specialization to a target robot. The system employs an asynchronous Slow‑Fast architecture to enable real‑time 30 Hz action prediction, achieving a jump in real‑robot zero‑shot success from 36.1% to 77.8% when leveraging over 120,000 hours of embodied video.

GALA: Geometry-Aware Latent Action Modeling for Vision-Language-Action Model Pretraining across Embodiments

The paper introduces GALA, a Geometry-Aware Latent Action modeling framework that enhances image-based latent actions with 3D end‑effector motion. It proposes the Unified End‑effector Motion Representation (UEMR) to preserve fine‑grained motion while improving cross‑embodiment generalizability. Experiments show GALA effectively models generalizable fine‑grained motions across embodiments, achieving high success rates in RoboCasa-GR1 and real‑world tasks.
