Manipulation, locomotion, sim-to-real transfer and autonomous driving: learning systems that have to survive physics.
arXiv:2608. 13678v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A central goal of robot learning is to enable robots to execute rich instructions specified at runtime.
Camera-based object detectors are vulnerable to physical adversarial attacks designed to suppress detections. While adversarial training and input purification offer some protection, they often overfit to specific attack distributions and fail on adaptive adversaries.
arXiv:2608. 12854v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Autonomous driving requires planning under both semantic constraints and predictive dynamics.
arXiv:2608. 12743v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Spatial intelligence is becoming a foundation for embodied agents, robotic planning, and multimodal assistants.
arXiv:2608. 12917v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Developing effective robot navigation methods in crowded environments is essential for real-world applications.
arXiv:2511. 07820v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Despite the rise of billion-parameter foundation models trained across thousands of graphical processing units (GPUs), similar scaling gains have not been shown for humanoid control.
arXiv:2601. 11729v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Visual Foundation Models (VFMs), such as DINO and CLIP, excel in semantic understanding of images but exhibit limited spatial reasoning capabilities, which limits their applicability to embodied systems.
arXiv:2608. 12564v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Automating empirical research is a long-standing direction of AI.
arXiv:2608. 12932v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models promise to bring end-to-end reasoning to autonomous driving, but their computational cost remains far too high for real-time control.
arXiv:2608. 12377v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Brains and large language models (LLMs) are fundamentally different memory systems, but they can be compared through shared functional questions: where memory-related information is represented, how partial cues recover broader associations, how new information is written or updated, and how memory-related states can be perturbed.
arXiv:2608. 13420v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Embodied intelligent virtual agents are expected to operate as persistent, adaptive, and context-aware entities within complex virtual and Metaverse worlds.
arXiv:2608. 13453v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have emerged as generalist robotic policies capable of following diverse language instructions and performing a wide range of manipulation tasks.
arXiv:2608. 13463v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern image classification models excel when trained on single task-specific datasets but often struggle to generalize across domains and difficulty levels.
arXiv:2608. 13415v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We consider the problem of autonomously learning robot skills under a limited practice budget for sequential tasks.
arXiv:2608. 13438v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Contact-rich manipulation failures are often detected only after the robot has committed to contact.
arXiv:2603. 01891v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Action chunking improves exploration and accelerates value propagation in long-horizon reinforcement learning, but naively applying off-policy methods to the temporally extended action space at reduced decision frequency offsets these gains, leading to poor sample efficiency.
arXiv:2506. 01568v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Being able to solve a task in diverse ways makes agents more robust to task variations and less prone to local optima.
arXiv:2608. 12346v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This position paper argues that modern AI alignment methods - originally designed to prevent harmful output - are dual-use technologies that may easily be misused by malicious actors for censorship and manipulation.
arXiv:2608. 12864v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Public blockchain data enables large-scale DeFi-related analysis, but many existing approaches are application-specific, difficult to scale, or hard to interpret.
arXiv:2608. 12719v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Routing each query to a cost-effective large language model (LLM) is critical for balancing quality and cost, yet most routers rely on a centralized task center to predict model performance, creating an information-risk mismatch and a scalability bottleneck as the model pool grows.
