Riemannian-Manifold Steering: Geometry-Aware Generative Autoencoders for Label-Free Steering

arXiv:2605. 24942v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Steering a language model - intervening on its internal activations to change downstream behaviour - has recently expanded beyond linear interpolation to nonlinear methods such as angular and kernelized steering, which define intervention transformations without learning an explicit geometry over paths in activation space.

The Lie We Tell: Correcting the Euclidean Fallacy in Vision Language Action Policies via Score Matching on Tangent Space

arXiv:2606. 01847v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diffusion-based Vision-Language-Action policies achieve remarkable success in robotic manipulation, yet commit a fundamental geometric error we term the $\textbf{Euclidean Fallacy}$: representing SE(3) poses as flat $\mathbb{R}^{12}$ vectors.

SE(3) Neural Potential Fields for 6-DoF Trajectory Planning Directly from Images Without Explicit 3D Reconstruction

The paper introduces SE(3) neural potential fields that learn collision‑free 6‑DoF trajectory planning directly from posed RGB images, eliminating the need for explicit 3D reconstruction. By supervising the field with a navigation function based on geodesic distances to the grasp, the method avoids the classic pitfalls of artificial potential fields, achieving near‑goal convergence within 3 cm from any start and producing collision‑free paths on a UR10 robot. Experiments on two tabletop scenes show significant improvements in clearance, reduced arm‑link contacts, and a 90 % grasp success rate, while planning time drops from over a minute to about 2 seconds compared to RRT* on a reconstructed scene.
