INSPECT: Learning Robot View Selection from Assistant Use

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

INSPECT is a system that learns how a robot should choose its camera view during assembly inspection by observing a smart‑glasses assistant that answers part queries and guides the user. It uses techniques such as Presence‑Invariant TwinSwap for object evidence calibration, claim‑indexed supervision to separate evidence needs from camera changes, and object‑centered calibration to adapt view preferences to robot poses. In experiments on gearbox assemblies and angle‑grinder recordings, INSPECT outperforms other non‑oracle policies, improving view utility and decision accuracy.

Rendering-Free Lookahead for Question-Guided Active Vision

The paper introduces Rendering-Free Lookahead (RFL), a method for active robot vision that selects camera motions to reveal information needed for viewpoint-dependent question answering. RFL predicts future answerability—how well a view can answer a question—using a student model trained via distillation from a privileged teacher that renders future views with 3D Gaussian Splatting. In deployment, RFL chooses camera motions without rendering, achieving a 43% improvement in mean judge score over a baseline on 377 unseen test episodes.

IndustrialVLA-Bench: A Traceable Multi-Axis Evaluation of Open Robot Policy Models

IndustrialVLA-Bench evaluates six released vision‑language‑action (VLA) and world‑action (WAM) robot policy models using a unified reporting schema. It measures clean capability on LIBERO, non‑language robustness on LIBERO‑Plus, instruction sensitivity on LIBERO‑Para, and observed execution cost, aggregating results across three random seeds. The benchmark also reports inference latency, peak memory, runtime mode, and evidence status for each system, enabling traceable comparisons without claiming one paradigm is universally superior.
