Manipulation, locomotion, sim-to-real transfer and autonomous driving: learning systems that have to survive physics.
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:2601. 15041v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The increasing deployment of deep learning systems requires systematic evaluation of their reliability in real-world scenarios.
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:2607. 10110v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent work on looped language models suggests that many reasoning problems benefit from greater computational depth rather than from additional independent parameters.
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:2607. 10565v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: End-to-end motion planning has emerged as a promising paradigm in autonomous driving, directly mapping raw sensor data to control commands via deep neural networks.
arXiv:2607. 11624v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms classically suffer from poor sample efficiency.
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:2603. 03953v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Safe visual navigation is critical for indoor mobile robots operating in cluttered environments.
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: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:2601. 15353v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) has achieved remarkable success in real-world decision-making across diverse domains, including gaming, robotics, online advertising, public health, and natural language processing.
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. 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. 11063v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Despite progress in Embodied AI, Vision-and-Language Navigation systems remain vulnerable to adversarial visual disturbances.
arXiv:2607. 11498v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language-action (VLA) models predict robot actions from visual observations and language instructions.
arXiv:2607. 09787v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: LiDAR semantic segmentation is a key perception task in autonomous driving, where false predictions can affect downstream planning and safety-critical decision-making.
arXiv:2607. 11167v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Representing manipulation actions as 2D trajectories in the camera plane provides a compact and interpretable basis for learning complex 3D manipulation policies.
The recent large video foundation model, SAM2, enables segment anything in both images and videos, serving as a powerful base model for various applications. However, many of such use cases require to operate on resource-constrained devices like mobile phones and laptops.
One year ago, the AISLE roadmap argued that autonomous laboratories operated as isolated islands and proposed a grassroots network organized around five critical dimensions. The field has since moved faster than anticipated.
