Manipulation, locomotion, sim-to-real transfer and autonomous driving: learning systems that have to survive physics.
arXiv:2607. 10206v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Flow-matching policies are promising for imitation learning because they model complex multimodal action distributions.
arXiv:2607. 11874v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent work in humanoid whole-body control has found success with a simple recipe: retarget human motion to robot kinematic references, then train policies via reinforcement learning (RL) to track them.
arXiv:2506. 14411v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In standard reinforcement learning (RL) settings, the interaction between the agent and the environment is typically modeled as a Markov decision process (MDP), which assumes that the agent observes the system state instantaneously, selects an action without delay, and executes it immediately.
arXiv:2607. 10605v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In recent years, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) or drones have gained rapid response in terms of security, search and rescue (SAR), border surveillance, etc.
arXiv:2607. 10706v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The action space poses a major challenge in robot learning, since it is often high-dimensional, can span long time horizons, and frequently admits multi-modal optimal solutions.
arXiv:2607. 09785v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Traditionally, continual learning has assumed access to labeled data, yet many real-world applications -- such as lifelong robotics -- require models to adapt continuously from unlabeled streams.
arXiv:2607. 10811v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: AI engineering is shifting from passive text generation by large language models (LLMs) to agent-driven task execution, creating new reliability challenges for long-horizon tasks under resource constraints and environmental uncertainty.
arXiv:2607. 09744v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Least privilege, the principle that an identity should hold only the permissions strictly required for its task, has been a foundational primitive of access control for decades.
arXiv:2605. 10332v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Embodied agents can benefit from skills that guide object search, action execution, and state changes across diverse environments.
arXiv:2605. 14712v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Robot imitation data are often multimodal: similar visual-language observations may be followed by different action chunks because human demonstrators act with different short-horizon intents, task phases, or recent context.
arXiv:2606. 21587v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Deep reinforcement learning is pivotal for closed-loop autonomous driving yet remains constrained by severe bottlenecks in sampling efficiency.
arXiv:2607. 09825v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Robotic manipulation policies rely on pre-trained vision models that give either a global scene embedding or a dense patch grid.
arXiv:2607. 11119v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Robot manipulation is a complex task that requires visual understanding, physical reasoning, planning, and closed-loop control.
arXiv:2603. 05559v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Decision makers exploiting photonic chaotic dynamics obtained by semiconductor lasers provide an ultrafast approach to solving multi-armed bandit problems by using a temporal optical signal as the driving source for sequential decisions.
arXiv:2607. 09764v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The synthesis of safety-critical scenarios (SCS) and their evaluation through closed-loop simulations are crucial for developing robust autonomous driving systems.
arXiv:2607. 10309v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) is commonly employed to enhance the performance of autonomous systems, including the Autonomous Internet of Things (AIoT).
arXiv:2607. 09792v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Navigation is a fundamental capability of autonomous systems, yet most existing approaches rely on highly structured models and strong prior assumptions, limiting their robustness in open and uncertain real-world environments.
arXiv:2404. 03578v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The sim-to-real gap, which represents the disparity between training and testing environments, poses a significant challenge in reinforcement learning (RL).
arXiv:2606. 12936v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Wet-lab robots can improve the reproducibility, throughput, and safety of biomedical experiments, but scaling their learning requires customizable simulators for safe and reproducible task generation, open editable laboratory assets, and efficient pipelines that turn limited demonstrations into usable training data.
arXiv:2607. 11063v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Despite progress in Embodied AI, Vision-and-Language Navigation systems remain vulnerable to adversarial visual disturbances.
