KAM-WM: Kinematic Affordance Maps from Latent World Models for Robot Manipulation
Xinyu Shao, Keru Zhou, Guowei Huang +3
Learning manipulation from few demonstrations requires visual priors that capture not only where to interact, but also how the interaction should begin; static priors such as segme…
Whole-Body Inverse Kinematics with Graph Diffusion
Helong Huang, Kai Tan, Feng Wen +2
Inverse kinematics (IK) is a fundamental problem in robotics, requiring the generation of joint configurations that satisfy target end-effector poses. Existing approaches often str…
ForceFlow: Learning to Feel and Act via Contact-Driven Flow Matching
Shuoheng Zhang, Yifu Yuan, Hongyao Tang +7
Existing imitation learning methods enable robots to interact autonomously with the physical environment. However, contact-rich manipulation tasks remain a significant challenge du…
GraphCoT-VLA: A 3D Spatial-Aware Reasoning Vision-Language-Action Model for Robotic Manipulation with Ambiguous Instructions
Helong Huang, Min Cen, Kai Tan +3
Vision-language-action models have emerged as a crucial paradigm in robotic manipulation. However, existing VLA models exhibit notable limitations in handling ambiguous language in…
Ark: An Open-source Python-based Framework for Robot Learning
Magnus Dierking, Christopher E. Mower, Sarthak Das +10
Robotics has made remarkable hardware strides-from DARPA's Urban and Robotics Challenges to the first humanoid-robot kickboxing tournament-yet commercial autonomy still lags behind…
Mem2Ego: Empowering Vision-Language Models with Global-to-Ego Memory for Long-Horizon Embodied Navigation
Lingfeng Zhang, Yuecheng Liu, Zhanguang Zhang +16
Recent advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs) and Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have made them powerful tools in embodied navigation, enabling agents to leverage commonsense…
