The paper introduces Movement Trend Guidance, a method that equips 3D diffusion policies with foresight by learning a compact latent representation of interaction evolution from a brief observation history. This latent, supervised by sparse future gripper states during training, serves as future-oriented conditioning during inference, enhancing action generation without adding explicit planning. The approach improves performance on RoboTwin2.0, LIBERO-40, and DexArt benchmarks, achieving higher success rates across multiple tasks.

Squint is a visual Soft Actor Critic algorithm designed to accelerate reinforcement learning for robotics. It combines parallel simulation, a distributional critic, resolution squinting, layer normalization, a tuned update-to-data ratio, and an optimized implementation to reduce wall‑clock training time. On the SO‑101 Task Set, Squint trains policies in as little as 15 minutes on a single RTX 3090 GPU, with most tasks converging in under 6 minutes and successfully transferring to a real SO‑101 robot.
