LIBERO-RIG: A Hardware-Setup Robustness Benchmark for Vision-Language-Action Models

Andrea Yaoyun Cui, Hanyu Wang, Xinyi Wang +6

Robot policies are expected to generalize across deployment environments, including variations in the robot itself: cameras are bumped and remounted, calibrations drift, controller…

SEAR: Self-Evolving Agentic Robotics

Xinyi Wang, Bangzheng Li, Hanyu Wang +5

Frontier language-model agents can now improve robots on their own: they write control code, test it, and keep what works as skills and memories for the next task. We introduce SEA…

Context-Aware RL for Agentic and Multimodal LLMs

Peiyang Xu, Bangzheng Li, Sijia Liu +4

Large language models (LLMs) often fail when answering requires identifying a small but decisive piece of evidence within a long or complex context, such as a single line in a tool…

VisAnalog: A Diagnostic Suite for Visual Concept Transfer on Natural Images

Zhaonan Li, Kyle R. Chickering, Bangzheng Li +13

A useful test of visual concept learning is not just whether a model can recognize a concept in a single image, but whether it can preserve and manipulate concept-level properties…

Reinforced Attention Learning

Bangzheng Li, Jianmo Ni, Chen Qu +5

Post-training with Reinforcement Learning (RL) has substantially improved reasoning in Large Language Models (LLMs) via test-time scaling. However, extending this paradigm to Multi…

Unbiased Visual Reasoning with Controlled Visual Inputs

Zhaonan Li, Shijie Lu, Fei Wang +11

End-to-end Vision-language Models (VLMs) often answer visual questions by exploiting spurious correlations instead of causal visual evidence, and can become more shortcut-prone whe…

Latent Visual Reasoning

Bangzheng Li, Ximeng Sun, Jiang Liu +7

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have achieved notable gains in various tasks by incorporating Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning in language spaces. Recent work extends this…
