Recently, a few works have made early attempts to study test-time scaling for embodied tasks. However, two major challenges remain unsolved: (1) reasoning can effectively improve the performance of the policy, but its scaling mechanism has seldom been studied; (2) historical information is essential, as embodied tasks are inherently long-horizon and sequential, making sole reliance on current observations for action scaling inadequate due to the lack of historical context utilization.
Building persistent embodied agents in unstructured environments demands unified orchestration of heterogeneous tools spanning both cyber (APIs, IoT) and physical (manipulation, navigation) domains, coupled with autonomous recovery from physical failures that inevitably arise over extended operation. Existing systems treat these as separate problems: VLM-based planners lack a unified cyber-physical action space, agent frameworks accumulate unbounded context that degrades temporal coherence, and VLA policies execute open-loop without detecting their own failures.
Robots operating in real-world environments must in general be able to recognize previously unseen objects. As robotic systems move toward open-world autonomy, there is a growing, yet largely unmet, need for open vocabulary object detectors that are prompt-free and efficient enough for continuous deployment.
Humanoid motion imitation requires not only accurate perception of human kinematics but also faithful reproduction of physical interactions with the environment. However, existing pipelines rely primarily on vision-based motion capture and kinematic imitation, largely ignoring contact dynamics, leading to artifacts such as foot sliding, floor penetration, and unstable behaviors.
Motion forecasting is essential for autonomous driving systems to enable safe decision-making and planning in complex driving scenarios. While existing predictors excel at minimizing standard displacement errors, they often overlook the adherence to lane topology of multimodal predictions, particularly for lower-probability modes.
