Steerable Vision-Language-Action Policies for Embodied Reasoning and Hierarchical Control
William Chen, Jagdeep Singh Bhatia, Catherine Glossop +6
Pretrained vision-language models (VLMs) can make semantic and visual inferences across diverse settings, providing valuable common-sense priors for robotic control. However, effec…
MEM: Multi-Scale Embodied Memory for Vision Language Action Models
Marcel Torne, Karl Pertsch, Homer Walke +14
Conventionally, memory in end-to-end robotic learning involves inputting a sequence of past observations into the learned policy. However, in complex multi-stage real-world tasks,…
Towards Embodiment Scaling Laws in Robot Locomotion
Bo Ai, Liu Dai, Nico Bohlinger +7
Cross-embodiment generalization underpins the vision of building generalist embodied agents for any robot, yet its enabling factors remain poorly understood. We investigate embodim…
Hi Robot: Open-Ended Instruction Following with Hierarchical Vision-Language-Action Models
Lucy Xiaoyang Shi, Brian Ichter, Michael Equi +12
Generalist robots that can perform a range of different tasks in open-world settings must be able to not only reason about the steps needed to accomplish their goals, but also proc…
Training Strategies for Efficient Embodied Reasoning
William Chen, Suneel Belkhale, Suvir Mirchandani +4
Robot chain-of-thought reasoning (CoT) -- wherein a model predicts helpful intermediate representations before choosing actions -- provides an effective method for improving the ge…
Open X-Embodiment: Robotic Learning Datasets and RT-X Models
Embodiment Collaboration, Abby O'Neill, Abdul Rehman +291
Large, high-capacity models trained on diverse datasets have shown remarkable successes on efficiently tackling downstream applications. In domains from NLP to Computer Vision, thi…
