Cortex: A Bidirectionally Aligned Embodied Agent Framework for Long-horizon Manipulation

arXiv:2607. 05377v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While recent Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models show promise toward generalist manipulation policies, they struggle with long-horizon tasks due to their Markovian nature-relying solely on current observations.

CogAdapt: Adapting Clinical ECG Foundation Models for Wearable Cognitive Load Assessment

arXiv:2605. 22774v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Assessing cognitive load continuously and at low latency would help adaptive human-computer interaction, but it remains hard because labeled data are scarce and models generalize poorly across subjects.

STELLA: Efficient Sensor-to-LLM Translation for On-Device Human Activity Recognition

arXiv:2607. 03089v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: HAR is increasingly expected to run continuously on edge devices, yet recent LLM-based methods remain hard to deploy: raw sensor prompts are long, cloud inference adds latency and privacy risk, and fine-tuned LLM pipelines turn general-purpose models into task-specific classifiers.
