- Extreme-RGMT: Continual Learning of Highly Dynamic Skills for Robust Generalist Humanoid Control
Humans can progressively acquire highly dynamic motor skills while preserving reliable everyday motor abilities. In contrast, existing humanoid controllers face a trade-off between generalist and specialist capabilities: generalist motion tracking policies struggle to reliably execute rare highly dy...

- ReferTrack: Referring Then Tracking for Embodied Visual Tracking
Embodied visual tracking (EVT) requires a mobile agent to continuously follow a specific target described in natural language using only onboard vision. While recent vision-language-action (VLA) policies unify target identification and trajectory planning, their chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning ofte...
- Robots Acquire Manipulation Skills in Seconds from a Single Human Video
The ability to acquire skills rapidly and effortlessly while retaining those already mastered is essential for robots. However, current methods still rely on a cumbersome training-time loop that is costly and slow, while eroding skills already mastered. In this paper, we introduce HOST (Human-to-rob...
- Unified Prediction and Planning via Conflict-Aware Disjoint Parameter Training
Accurate motion prediction of surrounding agents and safe motion planning are two closely coupled key tasks for social robot navigation in crowded environments. Deploying these systems on resource-constrained edge devices necessitates compact, unified models that can perform both tasks simultaneousl...
- Diffusion ReRoll: Revisable Denoising for Robotic Sequential Prediction
We propose Diffusion ReRoll, a diffusion-based framework for robotic sequential prediction that enables revisable denoising over horizons. Existing diffusion-based sequence predictors typically perform a single monotonic denoising process. In contrast, Diffusion ReRoll selectively re-noises regions ...
- Digital Twin Modeling of a Highly Automated Agricultural Tractor
In efforts to increase research efficiency and availability, a digital twin of our research tractor (AMX G-trac) is created, focusing especially on the CAN communication for data reading and actuation command following the ISOBUS protocol. Mevea Simulation Software is utilized as the foundation, pro...
- What Matters in Humanoid General Motion Tracking? An Empirical Study
Humanoid general motion tracking requires policies that can follow diverse whole-body references while maintaining balance. Building such policies involves many practical design choices, and their individual effects are often hard to assess. We address this issue with an empirical study of common mo...
- KineBench: Benchmarking Embodied World Models via IDM-Free Kinematic Grounding
Evaluating the physical consistency of embodied world models(EWMs) is a critical open challenge. While closed-loop evaluation via simulator rollouts offers a more faithful assessment of physical plausibility than open-loop alternatives, existing frameworks almost exclusively rely on Inverse Dynamics...
- SOPD-SocialNav: Selective On-Policy Distillation for Vision-Language Social Navigation
Vision-language models have shown strong potential for social robot navigation by leveraging rich semantic understanding of complex environments and human behaviors. However, large scale VLMs are difficult to deploy on resource-constrained robotic platforms, while lightweight VLMs often lack suffici...
- Clinical Pathways as Safety Specifications for Physical AI in Hospital Wards
Ensuring safety in Physical AI systems operating in real-world environments is a critical challenge, particularly in hospital wards where vulnerable patients, clinical staff, medical devices, and assistive robots coexist. In this paper, we reinterpret Clinical Pathways as explicit runtime safety spe...
- V2F: Vision-Informed Grasp Force Prediction for Damage-Aware Robotic Handling of Date Fruits
This paper presents a vision-informed grasp force prediction framework for robotic handling of date fruits. Addressing the dual challenge of high detachment forces and low bruise thresholds, we first conduct mechanical characterization on date samples to define a safe grasping envelope and quantify ...
- EgoRecovery: Acquiring Failure Recovery Ability Through Human Recovery Demonstration
Robust embodied robots should be able to recover from failures and retry tasks in order to operate reliably in unstructured and noisy real-world environments. Achieving this capability requires training policies on data that captures recovery behaviors. However, collecting such data through robot te...
- Koopman Dreamer: Spectrally Constrained Latent Dynamics for Stable World-Model Imagination
Latent world models improve sample efficiency in continuous control by optimizing policies over imagined latent trajectories, but common neural transitions offer limited direct control over modal persistence and error accumulation in long rollouts. We propose Koopman Dreamer, a Dreamer-style world m...
- NavVerse: Benchmarking Indoor-to-Outdoor Embodied Navigation in Continuous Robot Simulation
Robots deployed in delivery, campus, and emergency-response settings often need to navigate from buildings to streets within a single continuous episode. Existing benchmarks usually evaluate indoor and outdoor navigation separately, and many abstract away robot execution, leaving exit finding, bound...
