Vesta: A Generalist Embodied Reasoning Model
Johan Bjorck, Zhiqi Li, Yunze Man +29
Robots operating in open-world environments must seamlessly integrate localization, spatial reasoning, navigation, and long-horizon planning. While specialist models excel at indiv…
Reinforcing Dual-Path Reasoning in Spatial Vision Language Models
Yatai Ji, An-Chieh Cheng, Yang Fu +13
Spatial VLMs have made substantial progress in geometric perception, yet complex spatial reasoning requiring multi-step inference over depth, distance, and scene relations remains…
Scaling Parallel Sequence Models to Foundation-Scale Vision Encoders
Yitong Jiang, Hongjun Wang, Collin McCarthy +15
Vision foundation models are bottlenecked by the quadratic cost of self-attention, which limits usable resolution and increases the cost of large-scale pretraining. Subquadratic al…
Long-Horizon Manipulation via Trace-Conditioned VLA Planning
Isabella Liu, An-Chieh Cheng, Rui Yan +7
Long-horizon manipulation remains challenging for vision-language-action (VLA) policies: real tasks are multi-step, progress-dependent, and brittle to compounding execution errors.…
Attend Before Attention: Efficient and Scalable Video Understanding via Autoregressive Gazing
Baifeng Shi, Stephanie Fu, Long Lian +10
Multi-modal large language models (MLLMs) have advanced general-purpose video understanding but struggle with long, high-resolution videos -- they process every pixel equally in th…
GSPN-2: Efficient Parallel Sequence Modeling
Hongjun Wang, Yitong Jiang, Collin McCarthy +12
Efficient vision transformer remains a bottleneck for high-resolution images and long-video related real-world applications. Generalized Spatial Propagation Network (GSPN) addresse…
