What Are We Actually Benchmarking in Robot Manipulation?
Tianchong Jiang, Xiangshan Tan, Samuel Wheeler +3
A robotics benchmark score measures success under one fixed evaluation setup, yet is routinely treated as evidence of general manipulation capability. We identify four failure mode…
CLAW: Learning Continuous Latent Action World Models via Adversarial Latent Regularization
Tewodros Ayalew, Matthew Jeung, Samuel Wheeler +5
We introduce CLAW, a fully end-to-end self-supervised framework for learning a world model jointly with continuous latent action representations directly from action-free videos. O…
StackGen: Generating Stable Structures from Silhouettes via Diffusion
Luzhe Sun, Takuma Yoneda, Samuel W. Wheeler +2
Humans naturally obtain intuition about the interactions between and the stability of rigid objects by observing and interacting with the world. It is this intuition that governs t…
Approaching Deep Learning through the Spectral Dynamics of Weights
David Yunis, Kumar Kshitij Patel, Samuel Wheeler +5
We propose an empirical approach centered on the spectral dynamics of weights -- the behavior of singular values and vectors during optimization -- to unify and clarify several phe…
