Retriever: Composing Closed-Loop Asynchronous Robot Programs
Linfeng Zhao, Haojie Huang, Jiayuan Mao +3
Building long-horizon robot agents requires composing closed-loop pipelines -- perception, belief update, planning, and control -- whose components run at different clocks and with…
APIVOT: Adaptive Planning with Interleaved Vision-Language Thoughts
Emily Jin, Joy Hsu, Yiqing Xu +3
Long-horizon robot planning requires jointly reasoning over semantic task structure and geometric feasibility. To successfully execute a task, a robot must decompose goals, select…
MoMaGen: Generating Demonstrations under Soft and Hard Constraints for Multi-Step Bimanual Mobile Manipulation
Chengshu Li, Mengdi Xu, Arpit Bahety +11
Imitation learning from large-scale, diverse human demonstrations has been shown to be effective for training robots, but collecting such data is costly and time-consuming. This ch…
ENACT: Evaluating Embodied Cognition with World Modeling of Egocentric Interaction
Qineng Wang, Wenlong Huang, Yu Zhou +8
Embodied cognition argues that intelligence arises from sensorimotor interaction rather than passive observation. It raises an intriguing question: do modern vision-language models…
Learning Compositional Behaviors from Demonstration and Language
Weiyu Liu, Neil Nie, Ruohan Zhang +2
We introduce Behavior from Language and Demonstration (BLADE), a framework for long-horizon robotic manipulation by integrating imitation learning and model-based planning. BLADE l…
LayoutVLM: Differentiable Optimization of 3D Layout via Vision-Language Models
Fan-Yun Sun, Weiyu Liu, Siyi Gu +6
Spatial reasoning is a fundamental aspect of human cognition, enabling intuitive understanding and manipulation of objects in three-dimensional space. While foundation models demon…
