FailSafe: Reasoning and Recovery from Failures in Vision-Language-Action Models
Zijun Lin, Jiafei Duan, Haoquan Fang +4
Recent advances in robotic manipulation have integrated low-level robotic control into Vision-Language Models (VLMs), extending them into Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models. Altho…
MolmoMotion: Forecasting Point Trajectories in 3D with Language Instruction
Jianing Zhang, Chenhao Zheng, Yajun Yang +10
Motion forecasting is central to visual intelligence: agents must anticipate how objects will move in order to plan actions, reason about physical interactions, and synthesize real…
RoboCade: Gamifying Robot Data Collection
Suvir Mirchandani, Mia Tang, Jiafei Duan +3
Imitation learning from human demonstrations has become a dominant approach for training autonomous robot policies. However, collecting demonstration datasets is costly: it often r…
RoboMD: Uncovering Robot Vulnerabilities through Semantic Potential Fields
Som Sagar, Jiafei Duan, Sreevishakh Vasudevan +4
Robot manipulation policies, while central to the promise of physical AI, are highly vulnerable in the presence of external variations in the real world. Diagnosing these vulnerabi…
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.…
RoboEval: Where Robotic Manipulation Meets Structured and Scalable Evaluation
Yi Ru Wang, Carter Ung, Christopher Tan +11
We introduce RoboEval, a structured evaluation framework and benchmark for robotic manipulation that augments binary success with principled behavioral and outcome metrics. Existin…
