Learning to Feel the Future: DreamTacVLA for Contact-Rich Manipulation
Guo Ye, Zexi Zhang, Xu Zhao +4
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have shown remarkable generalization by mapping web-scale knowledge to robotic control, yet they remain blind to physical contact. Consequently,…
APT: Atomic Physical Transitions for Causal Video-Language Understanding
Shang Wu, Haoran Lu, Songling Liu +7
Physical events are not understood by their names alone, but by the causal state changes that compose them. A clip-level label such as "bounce" can be correct while hiding the proc…
MagicSim: A Unified Infrastructure for Executable Embodied Interaction
Haoran Lu, Songling Liu, Yue Chen +15
Robot learning and embodied agents now require simulation to serve as a shared execution substrate linking control, skills, and planning, not only as a renderer, controller testbed…
AnnotateAnything: Automatic Annotation of 3D Assets for Robot Manipulation
Haoran Lu, Mutian Shen, Shuyang Yu +9
Simulation enables scalable robot data collection, but raw 3D assets provide only geometry, lacking the semantic, interactive, and physical knowledge needed to specify where and ho…
Phys4D: Fine-Grained Physics-Consistent 4D Modeling from Video Diffusion
Haoran Lu, Shang Wu, Songling Liu +10
Recent video diffusion models have achieved impressive capabilities as large-scale generative world models. However, these models often struggle with fine-grained physical consiste…
NS-VLA: Towards Neuro-Symbolic Vision-Language-Action Models
Ziyue Zhu, Shangyang Wu, Shuai Zhao +5
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models are formulated to ground instructions in visual context and generate action sequences for robotic manipulation. Despite recent progress, VLA mod…
