What Matters in Orchestrating Robot Policies: A Systematic Study of Hierarchical VLA Agents
Jiaheng Hu, Mohit Shridhar, Caden Lu +4
Hierarchical vision-language-action (Hi-VLA) systems have emerged as a promising paradigm for complex robot manipulation, by using high-level VLM planners to decompose tasks into l…
Gemini Robotics 1.5: Pushing the Frontier of Generalist Robots with Advanced Embodied Reasoning, Thinking, and Motion Transfer
Gemini Robotics Team, Abbas Abdolmaleki, Saminda Abeyruwan +169
General-purpose robots need a deep understanding of the physical world, advanced reasoning, and general and dexterous control. This report introduces the latest generation of the G…
Towards Embodiment Scaling Laws in Robot Locomotion
Bo Ai, Liu Dai, Nico Bohlinger +7
Cross-embodiment generalization underpins the vision of building generalist embodied agents for any robot, yet its enabling factors remain poorly understood. We investigate embodim…
Exploiting Policy Idling for Dexterous Manipulation
Annie S. Chen, Philemon Brakel, Antonia Bronars +7
Learning-based methods for dexterous manipulation have made notable progress in recent years. However, learned policies often still lack reliability and exhibit limited robustness…
Robot Data Curation with Mutual Information Estimators
Joey Hejna, Suvir Mirchandani, Ashwin Balakrishna +7
The performance of imitation learning policies often hinges on the datasets with which they are trained. Consequently, investment in data collection for robotics has grown across b…
Gemini Robotics: Bringing AI into the Physical World
Gemini Robotics Team, Saminda Abeyruwan, Joshua Ainslie +115
Recent advancements in large multimodal models have led to the emergence of remarkable generalist capabilities in digital domains, yet their translation to physical agents such as…
