Retriever: Composing the Perception-Reasoning-Action Loop for Long-Horizon Manipulation

Linfeng Zhao, Haojie Huang, Jiayuan Mao +3

Building long-horizon robot agents requires composing closed-loop pipelines -- perception, belief update, planning, and control -- whose components run at different clocks and with…

APIVOT: Adaptive Planning with Interleaved Vision-Language Thoughts

Emily Jin, Joy Hsu, Yiqing Xu +3

Long-horizon robot planning requires jointly reasoning over semantic task structure and geometric feasibility. To successfully execute a task, a robot must decompose goals, select…

ENACT: Evaluating Embodied Cognition with World Modeling of Egocentric Interaction

Qineng Wang, Wenlong Huang, Yu Zhou +8

Embodied cognition argues that intelligence arises from sensorimotor interaction rather than passive observation. It raises an intriguing question: do modern vision-language models…

MoMaGen: Generating Demonstrations under Soft and Hard Constraints for Multi-Step Bimanual Mobile Manipulation

Chengshu Li, Mengdi Xu, Arpit Bahety +11

Imitation learning from large-scale, diverse human demonstrations has been shown to be effective for training robots, but collecting such data is costly and time-consuming. This ch…

Learning Compositional Behaviors from Demonstration and Language

Weiyu Liu, Neil Nie, Ruohan Zhang +2

We introduce Behavior from Language and Demonstration (BLADE), a framework for long-horizon robotic manipulation by integrating imitation learning and model-based planning. BLADE l…

Naturally Supervised 3D Visual Grounding with Language-Regularized Concept Learners

Chun Feng, Joy Hsu, Weiyu Liu +1

3D visual grounding is a challenging task that often requires direct and dense supervision, notably the semantic label for each object in the scene. In this paper, we instead study…
