RoboTrustBench: Benchmarking the Trustworthiness of Video World Models for Robotic Manipulation
Huiqiong Li, Jiayu Wang, Zhiting Mei +3
Video world models are increasingly used in robotic manipulation, yet existing benchmarks mostly evaluate them under valid, feasible, and safe instructions. We introduce RoboTrustB…
PlayWorld: Learning Robot World Models from Autonomous Play
Tenny Yin, Zhiting Mei, Zhonghe Zheng +8
Action-conditioned video models offer a promising path to building general-purpose robot simulators that can improve directly from data. Yet, despite training on large-scale robot…
VERDI: VLM-Embedded Reasoning for Autonomous Driving
Bowen Feng, Zhiting Mei, Julian Ost +5
While autonomous driving (AD) stacks struggle with decision making under partial observability and real-world complexity, human drivers are capable of applying commonsense reasonin…
Beyond Binary Success: Sample-Efficient and Statistically Rigorous Robot Policy Comparison
David Snyder, Apurva Badithela, Nikolai Matni +4
Generalist robot manipulation policies are becoming increasingly capable, but are limited in evaluation to a small number of hardware rollouts. This strong resource constraint in r…
World Models That Know When They Don't Know - Controllable Video Generation with Calibrated Uncertainty
Zhiting Mei, Tenny Yin, Micah Baker +2
Recent advances in generative video models have led to significant breakthroughs in high-fidelity video synthesis, specifically in controllable video generation where the generated…
LAP: Language-Action Pre-Training Enables Zero-shot Cross-Embodiment Transfer
Lihan Zha, Asher J. Hancock, Mingtong Zhang +5
A long-standing goal in robotics is a generalist policy that can be deployed zero-shot on new robot embodiments without per-embodiment adaptation. Despite large-scale multi-embodim…
