JOPAT jointly models pixels, point tracks, and actions in a diffusion transformer and reports gains over pixel-only baselines on long-horizon robot tasks with occlusion and off-screen motion.
ECHO organizes VLA experiences into a hierarchical memory tree in hyperbolic space via autoencoder and entailment constraints, delivering a 12.8% success-rate gain on LIBERO-Long over the pi0 baseline.
NoiseGate learns per-latent timestep schedules as an information-gating policy in diffusion-based world action models, yielding consistent gains on RoboTwin manipulation tasks.
AT-VLA proposes adaptive tactile injection and a dual-stream tactile reaction mechanism to enhance VLA models for contact-rich robotic manipulation with real-time responses.
LLM planners for robots often produce dangerous plans even when planning succeeds, with safety awareness staying flat as model scale improves planning ability.
Afford-VLA internalizes task-conditioned affordance as an explicit visual planning interface within VLA models via learnable <AFF> tokens, achieving SOTA on LIBERO and SimplerEnv benchmarks.
Imagine2Real enables zero-shot humanoid-object interaction by unifying motions as 4D point trajectories, tracking only base/hands/object keypoints inside a BFM latent space, and training with progressive simple rewards for mocap deployment.
MindVLA-U1 is the first unified streaming VLA architecture that surpasses human drivers on WOD-E2E planning metrics while matching VA latency and preserving language interfaces.
SpatialForge synthesizes 10 million spatial QA pairs from in-the-wild 2D images to train VLMs for better depth ordering, layout, and viewpoint-dependent reasoning.
By inverting a frozen flow-matching robot policy with fixed-point iteration, UniSteer converts human corrections into noise-space supervision and lifts real-world VLA adaptation success from 20% to 90% in about 66 minutes on average.
Agentic safety fails to generalize across tasks because the task-to-safe-controller mapping has a higher Lipschitz constant than the task-to-controller mapping alone, as proven in linear-quadratic control and demonstrated in quadcopter and LLM experiments.
TriRelVLA introduces triadic object-hand-task relational representations and a task-grounded graph transformer with a relational bottleneck to improve generalization in robotic manipulation across scenes, objects, and tasks.
FingerViP equips each finger with a miniature camera and trains a multi-view diffusion policy that achieves 80.8% success on real-world dexterous tasks previously limited by wrist-camera occlusion.
DAERT generates diverse adversarial instructions via a uniform policy in RL to drop VLA task success rates from 93.33% to 5.85% on benchmarks with models like π0 and OpenVLA.
Fast-WAM shows that explicit future imagination at test time is not required for strong WAM performance; video modeling during training provides the main benefit.
MoT-HRA learns embodiment-agnostic human-intention priors from a curated 2.2M-episode human video dataset via a three-expert hierarchical vision-language-action model to improve robotic manipulation under distribution shift.
AttenA+ reweights action training objectives in VLA and WAM models via inverse velocity attention to prioritize kinematically critical segments, yielding small benchmark gains.
