MANIGUARD: A Benchmark and Data Suite for Specification-Grounded Safety Evaluation and Improvement of Robotic Manipulation
Yiyan Peng, Philip Wang, Simon Sinong Zhan +11
Foundation-model policies for robotic manipulation are advancing rapidly on task success, but rigorous evaluation of whether they succeed safely is still lacking. We introduce Mani…
Skills in Weights, Memory in Code: Hybrid Learning for Memory-Dependent Robot Manipulation
Yunhao Zhao, Zhenyang Ni, Haoyang Chen +2
Modern vision-language-action (VLA) policies have acquired broad manipulation skills, but typically generate each action chunk from the current observation or a short fixed-length…
CreFlow: Corrective Reflow for Sparse-Reward Embodied Video Diffusion RL
Zhenyang Ni, Yijiang Li, Ruochen Jiao +7
Video generation models trained on heterogeneous data with likelihood-surrogate objectives can produce visually plausible rollouts that violate physical constraints in embodied man…
EmboAlign: Aligning Video Generation with Compositional Constraints for Zero-Shot Manipulation
Gehao Zhang, Zhenyang Ni, Payal Mohapatra +3
Video generative models (VGMs) pretrained on large-scale internet data can produce temporally coherent rollout videos that capture rich object dynamics, offering a compelling found…
