CLAP: Cross-Embodiment Video World Models are Zero-Shot Physical Simulators
Kechen Liu, Ola Shorinwa
State-of-the-art action-conditioned video models are typically restricted to a single robot embodiment, preventing them from leveraging the vast corpus of heterogeneous video data…
InSight: Self-Guided Skill Acquisition via Steerable VLAs
Maggie Wang, Lars Osterberg, Stephen Tian +5
Vision-language-action (VLA) models excel at robot manipulation via imitation learning, but adapting them to new tasks often requires additional human demonstrations, which can be…
PlayWorld: Learning Robot World Models from Autonomous Play
Tenny Yin, Zhiting Mei, Zhonghe Zheng +8
Action-conditioned video models offer a promising path to building general-purpose robot simulators that can improve directly from data. Yet, despite training on large-scale robot…
Phys2Real: Fusing VLM Priors with Interactive Online Adaptation for Uncertainty-Aware Sim-to-Real Manipulation
Maggie Wang, Stephen Tian, Aiden Swann +3
Learning robotic manipulation policies directly in the real world can be expensive and time-consuming. While reinforcement learning (RL) policies trained in simulation present a sc…
SINGER: An Onboard Generalist Vision-Language Navigation Policy for Drones
