VOTE: Vision-Language-Action Optimization with Trajectory Ensemble Voting
Juyi Lin, Amir Taherin, Arash Akbari +11
Recent large-scale Vision Language Action (VLA) models have shown superior performance in robotic manipulation tasks guided by natural language. However, current VLA models suffer…
Human Cognition in Machines: A Unified Perspective of World Models
Timothy Rupprecht, Pu Zhao, Amir Taherin +20
This report of world models distinguishes prior works by the cognitive functions they innovate. Many works claim an almost human-like cognitive capability in their world models. To…
Flash-WAM: Modality-Aware Distillation for World Action Models
Arman Akbari, Ci Zhang, Arash Akbari +6
World-action models (WAMs) jointly generate future video and robot actions through iterative diffusion, achieving strong performance on manipulation benchmarks but requiring tens o…
PhyWorld: Physics-Faithful World Model for Video Generation
Pu Zhao, Juyi Lin, Timothy Rupprecht +10
World simulators can provide safe and scalable environments for training Physical AI systems before real-world deployment. Large video generation models are emerging as a promising…
Cross-Platform Scaling of Vision-Language-Action Models from Edge to Cloud GPUs
Amir Taherin, Juyi Lin, Arash Akbari +5
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have emerged as powerful generalist policies for robotic control, yet their performance scaling across model architectures and hardware platform…
