PROBE: Manipulation-Grounded Visual Question Answering with VLM Agents
Vineet Bhat, Siyi Chen, Alex Zook +4
Vision-language Models (VLMs) excel at 2D grounding, spatial reasoning and agentic tool-based planning in static scenes. However, consider asking a home robot "Is my medication sti…
Breaking the Curse of Dimensionality: Diffusion Models Efficiently Learn Low-Dimensional Distributions
Peng Wang, Huijie Zhang, Zekai Zhang +3
Despite their empirical success across a wide range of generative tasks, the fundamental principles underlying the ability of diffusion models to learn data distributions are poorl…
Data-Forcing Distillation: Restoring Diversity and Fidelity in Few-Step Video Generation
Siyi Chen, Shaowei Liu, Yixuan Jia +4
Recent progress has shown promise in distilling multi-step video diffusion models into efficient few-step students. Among them, Distribution Matching Distillation (DMD) and its suc…
Vesta: A Generalist Embodied Reasoning Model
Johan Bjorck, Zhiqi Li, Yunze Man +29
Robots operating in open-world environments must seamlessly integrate localization, spatial reasoning, navigation, and long-horizon planning. While specialist models excel at indiv…
See What I See, Know What I Think: Dense Latent Communication Across Heterogeneous Agents
Siyi Chen, Xiaoyan Zhang, Meng Wu +7
Multi-agent systems communicate mostly through text, paying a lossy and expensive decode and re-encode cost. KV-cache communication is a promising alternative, yet most prior work…
VoLo: A Physical Orchestrator for Open-Vocabulary Long-Horizon Manipulation
Siyi Chen, Hugo Hadfield, Alex Zook +9
Open-vocabulary long-horizon manipulation requires robots to reason over flexible instructions and complex multi-object scenes while adaptively planning, executing, monitoring, and…
