Simple Recipe Works: Vision-Language-Action Models are Natural Continual Learners with Reinforcement Learning
Jiaheng Hu, Jay Shim, Chen Tang +4
Continual Reinforcement Learning (CRL) for Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models is a promising direction toward self-improving embodied agents that can adapt in openended, evolving…
AutoAgent: Evolving Cognition and Elastic Memory Orchestration for Adaptive Agents
Xiaoxing Wang, Ning Liao, Shikun Wei +2
Autonomous agent frameworks still struggle to reconcile long-term experiential learning with real-time, context-sensitive decision-making. In practice, this gap appears as static c…
ComposableNav: Instruction-Following Navigation in Dynamic Environments via Composable Diffusion
Zichao Hu, Chen Tang, Michael J. Munje +6
This paper considers the problem of enabling robots to navigate dynamic environments while following instructions. The challenge lies in the combinatorial nature of instruction spe…
SocialNav-SUB: Benchmarking VLMs for Scene Understanding in Social Robot Navigation
Michael J. Munje, Chen Tang, Shuijing Liu +6
Robot navigation in dynamic, human-centered environments requires socially-compliant decisions grounded in robust scene understanding. Recent Vision-Language Models (VLMs) exhibit…
