XEWorld: Can Action-Conditioned World Models Generalize to Unseen Robot Embodiments?
Yixiang Chen, Jiabing Yang, Yuan Xu +10
Action-conditioned world models are promising learned simulators for robotic manipulation, yet evaluating them exclusively on training robots fails to reveal whether they capture p…
UESF-Bench: Benchmarking and Probing for Unified Embodied Seeking and Following
Kun Yu, Jianhua Yang, Yixiang Chen +7
The paper introduces UESF-Bench, a large-scale benchmark for unified embodied seeking and following of humans, and presents SeekFollow-VLA, a vision‑language‑action framework that…
The Eleventh NTIRE 2026 Efficient Super-Resolution Challenge Report
Bin Ren, Hang Guo, Yan Shu +60
This paper reviews the NTIRE 2026 challenge on efficient single-image super-resolution with a focus on the proposed solutions and results. The aim of this challenge is to devise a…
BridgeV2W: Bridging Video Generation Models to Embodied World Models via Embodiment Masks
Yixiang Chen, Peiyan Li, Jiabing Yang +8
Embodied world models have emerged as a promising paradigm in robotics, most of which leverage large-scale Internet videos or pretrained video generation models to enrich visual an…
VERM: Leveraging Foundation Models to Create a Virtual Eye for Efficient 3D Robotic Manipulation
Yixiang Chen, Yan Huang, Keji He +2
When performing 3D manipulation tasks, robots have to execute action planning based on perceptions from multiple fixed cameras. The multi-camera setup introduces substantial redund…
