KITE is a training-free method that uses keyframe-indexed tokenized evidence including BEV schematics to enhance VLM performance on robot failure detection, identification, localization, explanation, and correction.
4D-RGPT uses perceptual 4D distillation to boost region-level 4D perception in multimodal LLMs and reports gains on existing and new video QA benchmarks.
Vesta is a unified embodied generalist model that outperforms specialist baselines by over 20% on average and improves real-world robotic task success by over 35%.
AgentChord models manipulation tasks as directed graphs enriched with anticipatory recovery branches, using specialized agents to enable immediate, low-latency failure responses and improve success on long-horizon bimanual tasks.
RePO-VLA raises average adversarial success rates in VLA manipulation from 20% to 75% by using recovery-aware initialization, a progress-aware semantic value function, and value-conditioned refinement on success and corrective trajectories.
Robometer combines intra-trajectory progress supervision with inter-trajectory preference supervision on a 1M-trajectory dataset to learn more generalizable robotic reward functions than prior methods.
PALM improves long-horizon robotic manipulation success by distilling affordance representations for object interaction and predicting within-subtask progress in a VLA model.
ProcVLM learns procedure-grounded dense progress rewards for robotic manipulation via a reasoning-before-estimation VLM trained on a 60M-frame synthesized corpus from 30 embodied datasets.
AFIL trains dual action generators on success and failure rollouts from a pretrained VLA to steer diffusion policies away from failure modes during inference.
FAR combines failure-contrastive preference adaptation with action perturbations for test-time recovery and continual policy improvement, reporting 17.6% and 11.7% success gains over diffusion policies in simulation and real-world manipulation tasks.
