MolmoAct2: Action Reasoning Models for Real-world Deployment
Haoquan Fang, Jiafei Duan, Donovan Clay +26
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models aim to provide a single generalist controller for robots, but today's systems fall short on the criteria that matter for real-world deployment.…
MolmoB0T: Large-Scale Simulation Enables Zero-Shot Manipulation
Abhay Deshpande, Maya Guru, Rose Hendrix +23
A prevailing view in robot learning is that simulation alone is not enough; effective sim-to-real transfer is widely believed to require at least some real-world data collection or…
MolmoSpaces: A Large-Scale Open Ecosystem for Robot Navigation and Manipulation
Yejin Kim, Wilbert Pumacay, Omar Rayyan +23
Deploying robots at scale demands robustness to the long tail of everyday situations. The countless variations in scene layout, object geometry, and task specifications that charac…
MolmoAct: Action Reasoning Models that can Reason in Space
Jason Lee, Jiafei Duan, Haoquan Fang +16
Reasoning is central to purposeful action, yet most robotic foundation models map perception and instructions directly to control, which limits adaptability, generalization, and se…
PointArena: Probing Multimodal Grounding Through Language-Guided Pointing
Long Cheng, Jiafei Duan, Yi Ru Wang +12
Pointing serves as a fundamental and intuitive mechanism for grounding language within visual contexts, with applications spanning robotics, assistive technologies, and interactive…
GraspMolmo: Generalizable Task-Oriented Grasping via Large-Scale Synthetic Data Generation
Abhay Deshpande, Yuquan Deng, Arijit Ray +7
We present GrasMolmo, a generalizable open-vocabulary task-oriented grasping (TOG) model. GraspMolmo predicts semantically appropriate, stable grasps conditioned on a natural langu…
Towards Embodiment Scaling Laws in Robot Locomotion
Bo Ai, Liu Dai, Nico Bohlinger +7
Cross-embodiment generalization underpins the vision of building generalist embodied agents for any robot, yet its enabling factors remain poorly understood. We investigate embodim…
The One RING: a Robotic Indoor Navigation Generalist
Ainaz Eftekhar, Rose Hendrix, Luca Weihs +11
Modern robots vary significantly in shape, size, and sensor configurations used to perceive and interact with their environments. However, most navigation policies are embodiment-s…
SAT: Dynamic Spatial Aptitude Training for Multimodal Language Models
Arijit Ray, Jiafei Duan, Ellis Brown +9
Reasoning about motion and space is a fundamental cognitive capability that is required by multiple real-world applications. While many studies highlight that large multimodal lang…
FLaRe: Achieving Masterful and Adaptive Robot Policies with Large-Scale Reinforcement Learning Fine-Tuning
Jiaheng Hu, Rose Hendrix, Ali Farhadi +5
In recent years, the Robotics field has initiated several efforts toward building generalist robot policies through large-scale multi-task Behavior Cloning. However, direct deploym…
Molmo and PixMo: Open Weights and Open Data for State-of-the-Art Vision-Language Models
Matt Deitke, Christopher Clark, Sangho Lee +47
Today's most advanced vision-language models (VLMs) remain proprietary. The strongest open-weight models rely heavily on synthetic data from proprietary VLMs to achieve good perfor…
PoliFormer: Scaling On-Policy RL with Transformers Results in Masterful Navigators
Kuo-Hao Zeng, Zichen Zhang, Kiana Ehsani +6
We present PoliFormer (Policy Transformer), an RGB-only indoor navigation agent trained end-to-end with reinforcement learning at scale that generalizes to the real-world without a…
SPOC: Imitating Shortest Paths in Simulation Enables Effective Navigation and Manipulation in the Real World
Kiana Ehsani, Tanmay Gupta, Rose Hendrix +11
Reinforcement learning (RL) with dense rewards and imitation learning (IL) with human-generated trajectories are the most widely used approaches for training modern embodied agents…
Phone2Proc: Bringing Robust Robots Into Our Chaotic World
Matt Deitke, Rose Hendrix, Luca Weihs +3
Training embodied agents in simulation has become mainstream for the embodied AI community. However, these agents often struggle when deployed in the physical world due to their in…
