Co-Evolving Robot Orchestrators and Policies through Deployment

Xilun Zhang, Maggie Wang, Erik Bauer +4

Vision-language-action (VLA) policies trained on large datasets are capable within their training domains, yet they still fail to generalize to the variety of situations a robot me…

Scaling Verification Can Be More Effective than Scaling Policy Learning for Vision-Language-Action Alignment

Jacky Kwok, Xilun Zhang, Mengdi Xu +4

The long-standing vision of general-purpose robots hinges on their ability to understand and act upon natural language instructions. Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have made r…

What Went Wrong? Closing the Sim-to-Real Gap via Differentiable Causal Discovery

Peide Huang, Xilun Zhang, Ziang Cao +6

Training control policies in simulation is more appealing than on real robots directly, as it allows for exploring diverse states in an efficient manner. Yet, robot simulators inev…
