PetriBench: Benchmarking LLM Reasoning over Dynamic State Spaces

Pyrros Koussios, Benjamin Jäger, John Hua Yao +3

Characterizing LLM reasoning remains an open challenge, as many existing benchmarks isolate specific reasoning skills, rely on external knowledge, or are costly to extend. We intro…

Cross-Embodiment Transfer via Behavior-Aligned Representations

Ajay Sridhar, Jensen Gao, Jonathan Yang +3

Recent progress in large-scale imitation learning for robot manipulation has been driven by leveraging datasets across a wide range of robot embodiments. However, achieving signifi…

DIRECT: When and Where Should You Allocate Test-Time Compute in Embodied Planners?

Jadelynn Dao, Milan Ganai, Yasmina Abukhadra +7

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) are increasingly deployed as high-level planners for embodied agents, with an emerging strategy of scaling test-time compute to improve capability. Ho…

MemER: Scaling Up Memory for Robot Control via Experience Retrieval

Ajay Sridhar, Jennifer Pan, Satvik Sharma +1

Humans routinely rely on memory to perform tasks, yet most robot policies lack this capability; our goal is to endow robot policies with the same ability. Naively conditioning on l…

LeLaN: Learning A Language-Conditioned Navigation Policy from In-the-Wild Videos

Noriaki Hirose, Catherine Glossop, Ajay Sridhar +3

The world is filled with a wide variety of objects. For robots to be useful, they need the ability to find arbitrary objects described by people. In this paper, we present LeLaN(Le…

NoMaD: Goal Masked Diffusion Policies for Navigation and Exploration

Ajay Sridhar, Dhruv Shah, Catherine Glossop +1

Robotic learning for navigation in unfamiliar environments needs to provide policies for both task-oriented navigation (i.e., reaching a goal that the robot has located), and task-…
