PRIME: Perception Feedback with Situational Memory Embeddings in VLA Models

Erik Deinzer, Naya Baslan, Luca Paparusso +3

Current Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models for autonomous driving operate primarily through feedforward inference across the perception--reasoning--planning hierarchy. While moder…

Information-Theoretic Policy Pre-Training with Empowerment

Moritz Schneider, Robert Krug, Narunas Vaskevicius +3

Empowerment, an information-theoretic measure of an agent's potential influence on its environment, has emerged as a powerful intrinsic motivation and exploration framework for rei…

GraphEQA: Using 3D Semantic Scene Graphs for Real-time Embodied Question Answering

Saumya Saxena, Blake Buchanan, Chris Paxton +6

In Embodied Question Answering (EQA), agents must explore and develop a semantic understanding of an unseen environment to answer a situated question with confidence. This problem…

The Surprising Ineffectiveness of Pre-Trained Visual Representations for Model-Based Reinforcement Learning

Moritz Schneider, Robert Krug, Narunas Vaskevicius +2

Visual Reinforcement Learning (RL) methods often require extensive amounts of data. As opposed to model-free RL, model-based RL (MBRL) offers a potential solution with efficient da…

Open3DSG: Open-Vocabulary 3D Scene Graphs from Point Clouds with Queryable Objects and Open-Set Relationships

Sebastian Koch, Narunas Vaskevicius, Mirco Colosi +2

Current approaches for 3D scene graph prediction rely on labeled datasets to train models for a fixed set of known object classes and relationship categories. We present Open3DSG,…

Lang3DSG: Language-based contrastive pre-training for 3D Scene Graph prediction

Sebastian Koch, Pedro Hermosilla, Narunas Vaskevicius +2

D scene graphs are an emerging 3D scene representation, that models both the objects present in the scene as well as their relationships. However, learning 3D scene graphs is a cha…

Predicting Dense and Context-aware Cost Maps for Semantic Robot Navigation

Yash Goel, Narunas Vaskevicius, Luigi Palmieri +2

We investigate the task of object goal navigation in unknown environments where the target is specified by a semantic label (e.g. find a couch). Such a navigation task is especiall…
