Robot models improve when actions explain intended effects
Arc adds causal traces to existing robot demonstrations and improves control across tested simulation and hardware tasks.
World-model rehearsal helps robots retain skills while learning
D2R helps robots learn sequential tasks while retaining earlier skills through regenerated world-model rehearsal.
Reflex helps a humanoid catch thrown boxes with moving-camera vision
Reflex separates body control, box-motion prediction, and vision so a humanoid can catch thrown boxes, with long-range limits.
When a Robot Struggles, What Should Its Training Change?
GLIO2 completes a route with weak LiDAR geometry
GLIO2 jointly updates LiDAR, inertial, and satellite measurements, completing a tested degenerate bridge route where LiDAR systems diverged.
Human motion helps humanoid robots follow instructions
VioLA uses shared human and robot motion targets to train humanoid control, with strong results in one laboratory evaluation.
Rewarding diverse robot successes improved tested shift averages
DRIVE rewards diverse successful robot behavior; simulation and two physical tasks show higher average success under tested shifts.
Juno connects robot predictions to motion and action learning
Juno links motion-aware robot predictions to action learning, with gains in tested simulation tasks and physical shifts.
Robot history helps most when video learning predicts forward
Robot tests find longer visual history helps after causal video pretraining, while bidirectional pretraining shows no net gain.
RealtimeWAM speeds robot action prediction while keeping success
RealtimeWAM coordinates computation in robot action models, lowering average simulation latency while keeping task success close to original inference.
Rules help frozen robot models handle new wording
A rule-based rewriter improved a frozen robot model on new instruction phrasings in simulated tasks.
Robot models learn from executed action alternatives to predict failures
CureWM repairs released robot world models with executed action alternatives, improving success–failure prediction in several tested settings.
