DobotTrack: Target-Grounded Vision-Language-Action Learning for Embodied Person Tracking

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

DobotTrack is a vision‑language‑action framework for embodied person tracking that uses auxiliary grounding tasks—person segmentation, bounding‑box grounding, visual‑spatial classification, future DINO feature prediction, and future‑frame prediction—to improve target delineation and localization. It introduces Q‑identity, a target‑conditioned historical visual compression module that preserves identity‑discriminative appearance features in compact tokens. On the EVT‑Bench dataset, the 0.8B‑parameter model achieves a 77.9% success rate, surpassing OmTrackVLA by 16.9 percentage points, and the authors also provide a real‑world quadruped‑robot dataset with 596,323 mask‑annotated frames for further training.

PoseVLA: Universal Pose Pretraining for Generalizable Vision-Language-Action Policies

arXiv:2602. 19710v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Existing Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models often suffer from feature collapse and low training efficiency because they entangle high-level perception with sparse, embodiment-specific action supervision.

TempoGround: State-Aware Streaming Visual Grounding with Vision-Language Models

TempoGround is a vision‑language model–native framework for streaming visual grounding that detects cross‑frame object correspondence and explicitly models object presence states. It uses a curriculum prediction mechanism to resolve 2D instance association, predict object entry, continuation, or exit, decode 2D boxes, and lift them to 3D camera‑frame boxes. The approach is further refined with Streaming Grounding Reinforcement, which optimizes grounding, identity, and consistency rewards, and achieves significant improvements on multiple streaming visual grounding benchmarks.

PDRVLA: A Vision-Language-Action Model with Physical Dynamics Representations

PDRVLA is a Vision‑Language‑Action model that incorporates a lightweight Physical Dynamics Module to extract physical tokens from vision‑language features, enabling action generation without online video synthesis. The module predicts future RGB, depth, and optical‑flow features, guided by auxiliary supervision from a frozen pretrained video world model. Trained solely on publicly available data augmented with human‑to‑robot synthesis, subtask annotation, and embodied chain‑of‑thought (ECoT) annotation, PDRVLA achieves high success rates across four simulation benchmarks, with ablations demonstrating the benefits of world‑model supervision and various conditioning strategies.
