Manipulation, locomotion, sim-to-real transfer and autonomous driving: learning systems that have to survive physics.
arXiv:2607. 00033v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Dexterous robot manipulation can benefit from the abundance of human demonstrations, but transferring such demonstrations to robot policies remains challenging.
arXiv:2502. 18975v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Machine learning models are inherently bound to the distribution of the training data, often exploiting non-causal shortcuts.
arXiv:2607. 01111v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Robot policies inevitably encounter failures when deployed in real environments.

arXiv:2607. 00029v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Non-terrestrial networks (NTN) provide ubiquitous connectivity for embodied intelligence (EI), enabling robots in wilderness to leverage cloud resources or report critical information to remote centers.
arXiv:2607. 01025v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Radio-frequency (RF) sensing is a central modality for counter-unmanned-aerial-system (counter-UAS) defence because it exploits the control, telemetry, and video links between a drone and its operator.
arXiv:2607. 00836v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: World models are increasingly used in embodied intelligence and generative simulation, yet their scope remains ambiguous across communities.
arXiv:2607. 00716v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Skeleton-based action recognition has achieved remarkable success by exploiting joint coordinates and their topological connections, yet prevailing methods overwhelmingly assume complete and clean skeleton inputs.
arXiv:2607. 00808v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Pre-training on large-scale videos to improve reinforcement learning efficiency is promising yet remains challenging.
arXiv:2607. 00796v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Visual Reinforcement Learning (VRL) has achieved considerable success in solving control tasks.
arXiv:2603. 14354v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: End-to-End autonomous driving (E2E-AD) systems face challenges in lifelong learning, including catastrophic forgetting, difficulty in knowledge transfer across diverse scenarios, and spurious correlations between unobservable confounders and true driving intents.
arXiv:2607. 00514v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Automatic understanding of dynamic 4D point clouds, the 3D-point sequences captured over time by depth sensors and LiDAR, is central to robotics and embodied perception.
arXiv:2607. 00442v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) for quadruped locomotion commonly depends on fixed, hand-crafted, and Markovian reward functions that limit both interpretability of learned policies and lack explicit control over gait behaviors.
arXiv:2607. 00310v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Foundation video diffusion models are increasingly viewed as world simulators for embodied agents, yet their pretraining on internet-scale generic video leaves them poorly aligned with real-world deployment domains.
arXiv:2607. 00283v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Autonomous vehicles must safely navigate complex environments where planning-critical agents may be hidden from view.
arXiv:2607. 00272v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Traditional robot programming is challenging: it requires orchestrating multimodal perception, managing physical contact dynamics, and handling diverse configurations and execution failures.
arXiv:2607. 00710v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Well-designed autonomous driving datasets have fundamentally shaped research progress, yet existing literature primarily describes what datasets contain rather than how to strategically design impactful ones.
arXiv:2607. 00642v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning has proven to be a valuable tool in the creation of advanced AI and robotic systems, contributing to everything from game playing to robotics to foundation models.
arXiv:2607. 00334v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autonomous agents, whether LLM-driven software agents or robotic physical agents, face a common class of failure modes when operating without continuous human oversight: safety violations from unverified actions, behavioral instability from unconstrained loops, and continuity loss from unhandled error states.
arXiv:2604. 16993v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: As embodied AI transitions to real-world deployment, the success of the Vision-and-Language Navigation (VLN) task tends to evolve from mere reachability to social compliance.
