CMU-Drive and V2V-VLA: Cooperative Multi-agent Unified Driving with Reasoning Benchmark and Vehicle-to-Vehicle Vision-Language-Action Models

arXiv:2608. 07621v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have recently achieved impressive performance for end-to-end autonomous driving, yet existing approaches are primarily designed for an individual single autonomous driving agent with limited support for cooperative perception, reasoning, and planning.

SurgLAT: Surgical Latent Attention Tracking for Depth-Aware Robotic Laparoscope Control

arXiv:2608. 07876v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autonomous laparoscopic camera control requires continuous understanding of the surgeon's operative intent in dynamic surgical scenes, where the target operative region is not a stable physical object but a latent and temporally evolving attention state.
