MolmoAct2: Action Reasoning Models for Real-world Deployment
Haoquan Fang, Jiafei Duan, Donovan Clay +26
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models aim to provide a single generalist controller for robots, but today's systems fall short on the criteria that matter for real-world deployment.…
MolmoB0T: Large-Scale Simulation Enables Zero-Shot Manipulation
Abhay Deshpande, Maya Guru, Rose Hendrix +23
A prevailing view in robot learning is that simulation alone is not enough; effective sim-to-real transfer is widely believed to require at least some real-world data collection or…
Recurrent-Depth VLA: Implicit Test-Time Compute Scaling of Vision-Language-Action Models via Latent Iterative Reasoning
Yalcin Tur, Jalal Naghiyev, Haoquan Fang +4
Current Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models rely on fixed computational depth, expending the same amount of compute on simple adjustments and complex multi-step manipulation. While…
FailSafe: Reasoning and Recovery from Failures in Vision-Language-Action Models
Zijun Lin, Jiafei Duan, Haoquan Fang +4
Recent advances in robotic manipulation have integrated low-level robotic control into Vision-Language Models (VLMs), extending them into Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models. Altho…
MolmoAct: Action Reasoning Models that can Reason in Space
Jason Lee, Jiafei Duan, Haoquan Fang +16
Reasoning is central to purposeful action, yet most robotic foundation models map perception and instructions directly to control, which limits adaptability, generalization, and se…
PointArena: Probing Multimodal Grounding Through Language-Guided Pointing
Long Cheng, Jiafei Duan, Yi Ru Wang +12
Pointing serves as a fundamental and intuitive mechanism for grounding language within visual contexts, with applications spanning robotics, assistive technologies, and interactive…
SAM2Act: Integrating Visual Foundation Model with A Memory Architecture for Robotic Manipulation
Haoquan Fang, Markus Grotz, Wilbert Pumacay +4
Robotic manipulation systems operating in diverse, dynamic environments must exhibit three critical abilities: multitask interaction, generalization to unseen scenarios, and spatia…
DAug: Diffusion-based Channel Augmentation for Radiology Image Retrieval and Classification
Ying Jin, Zhuoran Zhou, Haoquan Fang +1
Medical image understanding requires meticulous examination of fine visual details, with particular regions requiring additional attention. While radiologists build such expertise…
