MIND-V: Hierarchical World Model for Long-Horizon Robotic Manipulation with RL-based Physical Alignment

Ruicheng Zhang, Mingyang Zhang, Jun Zhou +6

Scalable embodied intelligence is constrained by the scarcity of diverse, long-horizon robotic manipulation data. Existing video world models in this domain are limited to synthesi…

ManipArena: Comprehensive Real-world Evaluation of Reasoning-Oriented Generalist Robot Manipulation

Yu Sun, Meng Cao, Yang Ping +24

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models and world-action models have emerged as central paradigms for general-purpose robotic intelligence, yet their empirical progress remains constra…

Learning Visual Spatial Planning from Symbolic State via Modality-Gap-Aware Self-Distillation

Haocheng Luo, Jiahui Liu, Ruicheng Zhang +8

While Vision-Language Models excel at general multimodal understanding, they still struggle with visual spatial planning. We attribute this limitation to a perception--reasoning mo…

KVPO: ODE-Native GRPO for Autoregressive Video Alignment via KV Semantic Exploration

Ruicheng Zhang, Kaixi Cong, Jun Zhou +5

Aligning streaming autoregressive (AR) video generators with human preferences is challenging. Existing reinforcement learning methods predominantly rely on noise-based exploration…

Identity-Consistent Video Generation under Large Facial-Angle Variations

Bin Hu, Zipeng Qi, Guoxi Huang +6

Single-view reference-to-video methods often struggle to preserve identity consistency under large facial-angle variations. This limitation naturally motivates the incorporation of…
