LICOA: Learning Instruction-Conditioned Optical Actions for Mobile Spatial Augmented Reality

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

The paper introduces LICOA, a mobile spatial augmented reality system that treats projected light as an embodied action. LICOA combines a differential‑drive chassis, a 2‑degree‑of‑freedom steerable mirror, and a shared interface that maps synchronized RGB camera inputs to optical actions, enabling the robot to decide how to move, where to project, and at what scale based on language instructions. The authors built a simulation embodiment and a corpus of 150 tasks with 7,500 episodes, then evaluated models trained on this corpus in 480 real‑world closed‑loop trials, achieving a 57.50% success rate and demonstrating the importance of both camera views and coordinated chassis‑mirror control.

ForeAct3D: Policy-Grounded Future World Modeling for VLA Policies

ForeAct3D is a framework that grounds future world modeling in Vision‑Language‑Action policies by decoding depth, semantic segmentation, and camera pose from policy representations into current and future 3D scene states. The future queries are conditioned on the policy‑generated action chunk, and a physical‑consistency closure enforces background staticity, instance‑level rigidity, and wrist‑camera pose alignment with end‑effector kinematics. This approach eliminates the need for future prediction at inference and achieves high success rates on LIBERO and CALVIN, outperforming the base policy across all suites.

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.
