SIR: Structured Image Representations for Explainable Robot Learning

Paul Mattes, Jan Schwab, Jens Bosch +5

Existing robot policies based on learned visual embeddings lack explicit structure and are sensitive to visual distractions. Thus, the representations that drive their behaviour ar…

DAM-VLA: Decoupled Asynchronous Multimodal Vision Language Action model

Pankhuri Vanjani, Zhuoyue Li, Jakub Suliga +4

Vision-language-action (VLA) models inherit a shared synchronous clock from vision-language pretraining, processing every input at one rate. This is misaligned with physical intera…

DuoBench: A Reproducible Benchmark for Bimanual Manipulation in Simulation and the Real World

Tobias Jülg, Seongjin Bien, Simon Hilber +7

Bimanual robot systems substantially expand manipulation capabilities, but coordinating two arms introduces additional control complexity and failure modes that are not well captur…
