WEAVER, Better, Faster, Longer: An Effective World Model for Robotic Manipulation

Arnav Kumar Jain, Yilin Wu, Jesse Farebrother +2

The potential impacts of world models (WMs, i.e., learned simulators) on robotics are far-reaching -- policy evaluation, policy improvement, and test-time planning -- all with limi…

Inference-time Policy Steering via Vision and Touch

Yilin Wu, Zilin Si, Zeynep Temel +2

Inference-time steering adapts pre-trained generative robot policies during deployment by verifying candidate actions before execution. While prior methods typically perform this v…

Position: Good Embodied Reward Models Need Bad Behavior Data

Ran Tian, Yilin Wu, Andrea Bajcsy

This position paper argues that to obtain reliable embodied reward models, the community must invest in ``bad'' robot data: failed, suboptimal, error-prone, and even hazardous beha…

When to Act, Ask, or Learn: Uncertainty-Aware Policy Steering

Jessie Yuan, Yilin Wu, Andrea Bajcsy

Policy steering is an emerging way to adapt robot behaviors at deployment-time: a learned verifier analyzes low-level action samples proposed by a pre-trained policy (e.g., diffusi…

Do What You Say: Steering Vision-Language-Action Models via Runtime Reasoning-Action Alignment Verification

Yilin Wu, Anqi Li, Tucker Hermans +3

Reasoning Vision Language Action (VLA) models improve robotic instruction-following by generating step-by-step textual plans before low-level actions, an approach inspired by Chain…

From Foresight to Forethought: VLM-In-the-Loop Policy Steering via Latent Alignment

Yilin Wu, Ran Tian, Gokul Swamy +1

While generative robot policies have demonstrated significant potential in learning complex, multimodal behaviors from demonstrations, they still exhibit diverse failures at deploy…
