Manipulation, locomotion, sim-to-real transfer and autonomous driving: learning systems that have to survive physics.
arXiv:2606. 09243v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Estimating full-hand grasp pressure from egocentric video is critical for immersive VR and robotic manipulation, yet dense tactile sensing often relies on intrusive hardware.
arXiv:2511. 17855v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Robots must learn from both what people do and what they say, but either modality alone is often incomplete: physical corrections are grounded but ambiguous in intent, while language expresses high-level goals but lacks physical grounding.
arXiv:2606. 08414v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diffusion policies have achieved remarkable success in robotic manipulation, yet they often fail to satisfy strict physical constraints required for safe deployment.
arXiv:2606. 08530v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models achieve strong benchmark performance but still struggle in real-world deployment with unseen objects, background shifts, and different robot embodiments.
arXiv:2606. 08107v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Robotics faces a fundamental challenge of data scarcity.
arXiv:2606. 08610v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) has become a powerful paradigm for robot learning, particularly in sim-to-real settings, but its broader adoption remains limited by the engineering pipeline surrounding the algorithms.
arXiv:2606. 09811v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: World-action models have emerged as a promising paradigm for robot manipulation, jointly modeling visual scene dynamics and actions to inject physical priors into policy learning.
arXiv:2601. 12263v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision-Language Models (VLMs) integrate visual and textual knowledge into unified representations that increasingly underpin modern retrieval and recommendation systems.
arXiv:2605. 16972v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Cultural heritage exhibitions often struggle to sustain attention and support reflective engagement.
arXiv:2606. 08102v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-quadruped coordination has attracted increasing attention due to its enhanced payload capacity, broader contact coverage, and improved adaptability to challenging tasks.
arXiv:2606. 08962v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: World Action Models (WAMs) generalize better than standard Vision-Language-Action (VLA) policies to novel motions and environments, because a video-modeling objective lets them learn from abundant unlabeled video rather than scarce labeled robot demonstrations.
arXiv:2606. 09432v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modeling interacting dynamical systems requires capturing spatial interactions alongside long-range temporal dependencies.
arXiv:2606. 08729v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Simulation plays a key role in automated robotics research supported by large language models (LLMs).
arXiv:2606. 09362v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Re-Identification (ReID) in autonomous driving is typically formulated as a visual matching problem, where observations of vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists are associated across time, frames, or camera views using learned appearance embeddings, often complemented by motion, geometric, or multimodal cues.
arXiv:2606. 08057v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Egocentric RGB-D videos offer a natural source of human dexterous manipulation demonstrations, but existing data is difficult to use for robot learning because object pose, geometry, and contact information are often missing or require pre-scanned object assets.
arXiv:2606. 07687v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Video world models are increasingly used to provide predictive visual representations, yet it remains unclear which pretraining signals induce action-relevant structure in their latent spaces.
arXiv:2606. 08249v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reliable wildlife monitoring is essential for ecology and conservation, yet many existing methods, such as tagging, capture, and close-range observation, can alter the very behaviors they aim to measure.
arXiv:2602. 14033v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Future sixth-generation (6G) mobile networks will demand artificial intelligence (AI) agents that are not only autonomous and efficient, but also capable of real-time adaptation in dynamic environments and transparent in their decisionmaking.
arXiv:2606. 06895v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The deployment of embodied artificial intelligence via world-model-based robotics presents a transformative opportunity for blockchain infrastructure, establishing urgent demand for trustworthy data provenance, cross-organizational governance, and incentive-compatible sharing across decentralized ecosystems.
arXiv:2606. 09390v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Body movement communicates intent at distances and in conditions where neither the face, nor speech can be captured.
