Manipulation, locomotion, sim-to-real transfer and autonomous driving: learning systems that have to survive physics.
arXiv:2607. 29031v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Existing autonomous-driving world models typically perform dense prediction of future videos, occupancy states, BEV representations, or agent motion.
arXiv:2501. 04426v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Offline diversity maximization under imitation constraints can transform demonstration data into a set of distinct behavioral policies, improving robustness to distribution shift without additional environment interaction.
arXiv:2603. 16870v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent advances in video generation have revealed an unexpected phenomenon: diffusion-based video models exhibit non-trivial reasoning capabilities.
arXiv:2502. 19135v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We present PLANTOR, a framework for generating and executing multi-robot task plans from natural-language task descriptions through LLM-assisted knowledge-base construction.
arXiv:2607. 29235v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Although world-action models (WAMs) enhance long-horizon robot control by predicting visual evolution before acting, long-horizon reliability demands repeated re-grounding in real observations--not recursive rollout.
arXiv:2607. 29172v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While robot foundation models are growing increasingly capable, the strongest models are typically trained on proprietary data and remain closed-source, limiting downstream users' ability to adapt them to new tasks, embodiments, and deployment settings.
Reference-based text evaluation metrics, which are widely used to assess natural language generation systems, score a candidate response by comparing it with a reference response. The reliability of an evaluation metric is usually judged by its statistical correlation with human ratings.
Deploying Vision-Language-Action (VLA) robots as mobile edge nodes within wireless sensor networks (WSNs) requires robust protection against physical adversarial threats. We present VLAGuard, a framework to assess and mitigate a critical vulnerability: policy-critical action-to-vision attention hijacking.
arXiv:2508. 04227v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs), spanning predictive architectures to generative Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs), have revolutionized artificial intelligence through powerful cross-modal alignment and zero-shot generalization.
arXiv:2607. 28405v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: World Action Models (WAMs) jointly predict future observations and actions, but their iterative denoising and closed-loop execution make efficient deployment costly.
arXiv:2607. 28293v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While depth sensors have the potential to complement RGB data for affordance segmentation in wearable robots, their usage seems to remain underexplored.
arXiv:2607. 27422v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Good action rankings do not make a contrastive critic safe to maximize.
arXiv:2607. 26637v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deployed LLM agents increasingly keep their long-term memory as a filesystem: a directory tree of markdown files that the agent itself reads, writes, and reorganizes through generic file tools.
arXiv:2603. 13707v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Humanoid loco-manipulation requires coordinated task-space motion planning with stable loco-manipulation command tracking under complex robot-environment dynamics and long-horizon tasks.
arXiv:2601. 20797v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper presents a comprehensive methodology for implementing knowledge graphs in ROS 2 systems, aiming to enhance the efficiency and intelligence of autonomous robotic missions.
arXiv:2504. 17901v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Task and motion planning (TAMP) is a well-established approach for solving long-horizon robot planning problems.
arXiv:2505. 04999v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Learning robot control policies from demonstrations typically requires action-labeled expert data, which is expensive to collect through teleoperation.
arXiv:2511. 10101v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Background: both embodied intelligence and developmental morphogenesis depend on a division of labour between centralized guidance and distributed material dynamics, but the amount of top-down control needed to steer self-organization remains unclear.
arXiv:2607. 27549v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent progress in large-scale imitation learning for robot manipulation has been driven by leveraging datasets across a wide range of robot embodiments.
arXiv:2607. 26914v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Biomedical laboratory robots must navigate to instruments before performing experimental procedures.
