DeepIPCv3: Event-Aware Multi-Modal Sensor Fusion for Sudden Pedestrian Crossing Avoidance

arXiv:2606. 01277v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Current end-to-end autonomous driving systems predominantly rely on frame-based sensors, which suffer from inherent perception latency and motion blur during highly dynamic encounters, specifically sudden pedestrian crossings.

PEACE: A Planner-Executor Agent with Constraint Enforcement for UAVs

arXiv:2606. 00104v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Foundation models are increasingly used to drive autonomous systems, yet existing approaches either keep the model in a tight control loop, raising latency and hallucination risk, or compile natural language into opaque end-to-end policies that are hard to explain, constraint and require domain-specific datasets and fine-tuning.

Simple Recipe Works: Vision-Language-Action Models are Natural Continual Learners with Reinforcement Learning

arXiv:2603. 11653v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Continual Reinforcement Learning (CRL) for Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models is a promising direction toward self-improving embodied agents that can adapt in openended, evolving environments.
