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.…
MolmoSpaces: A Large-Scale Open Ecosystem for Robot Navigation and Manipulation
Yejin Kim, Wilbert Pumacay, Omar Rayyan +23
Deploying robots at scale demands robustness to the long tail of everyday situations. The countless variations in scene layout, object geometry, and task specifications that charac…
Convergent Functions, Divergent Forms
Hyeonseong Jeon, Ainaz Eftekhar, Aaron Walsman +3
We introduce LOKI, a compute-efficient framework for co-designing morphologies and control policies that generalize across unseen tasks. Inspired by biological adaptation -- where…
The One RING: a Robotic Indoor Navigation Generalist
Ainaz Eftekhar, Rose Hendrix, Luca Weihs +11
Modern robots vary significantly in shape, size, and sensor configurations used to perceive and interact with their environments. However, most navigation policies are embodiment-s…
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…
