Divide-and-Remember: Recursive Action-Relevant Memory for Long-Horizon VLA Policies

Xuehui Yu, Eason Yu, Meiyi Wang +3

Vision-language-action (VLA) models struggle on history-dependent manipulation tasks, where the current observation alone does not determine the action, and the policy needs a memo…

Agent Priors-guided Policy Learning

Puming Jiang, Tianrun Hu, Haozhe Du +4

Robots that learn from a few demonstrations often require two forms of generalization. Compositional generalization recombines skills to solve new tasks, and skill generalization l…

Learning Physical Interaction: A Survey of Tactile- and Force-aware Robot Learning

Shilin Shan, Chuhao Zhou, Ruize Wang +30

Physically grounded robot intelligence requires robots to perceive, reason about, and regulate their interactions with the physical world. This capability is particularly critical…

Heterogeneous Tactile Transformer

Jianxin Bi, Qiang Wang, Jayaram Reddy +4

Tactile sensors are inherently heterogeneous: a model trained on one sensor cannot be directly used on another, which limits learning contact-rich manipulation policies from divers…

Conflict-Aware Additive Guidance for Flow Models under Compositional Rewards

Xuehui Yu, Fucheng Cai, Meiyi Wang +2

Inference-time guided sampling steers state-of-the-art diffusion and flow models without fine-tuning by interpreting the generation process as a controllable trajectory. This provi…

Guided Streaming Stochastic Interpolant Policy

Puming Jiang, Meiyi Wang, Kelvin Lin +2

Inference-time guidance is essential for steering generative robot policies toward dynamic objectives without retraining, yet existing methods are largely confined to chunk-based a…

Grounded World Model: Latent Planning with Language Goals

Quanyi Li, Lan Feng, Haonan Zhang +4

World models such as DINO-WM and LeWM specify the goal with an image, which is difficult to obtain in advance for novel tasks. We present the Grounded World Model (GWM), a latent w…

Abstracting Robot Manipulation Skills via Mixture-of-Experts Diffusion Policies

Ce Hao, Xuanran Zhai, Yaohua Liu +1

Diffusion-based policies have recently shown strong results in robot manipulation, but their extension to multi-task scenarios is hindered by the high cost of scaling model size an…

VLA-Touch: Enhancing Vision-Language-Action Models with Dual-Level Tactile Feedback

Jianxin Bi, Kevin Yuchen Ma, Ce Hao +2

Tactile feedback is generally recognized to be crucial for effective interaction with the physical world. However, state-of-the-art Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models lack the abi…
