HumanoidExo: Scalable Whole-Body Humanoid Manipulation via Wearable Exoskeleton
Rui Zhong, Yizhe Sun, Junjie Wen +7
A significant bottleneck in humanoid policy learning is the acquisition of large-scale, diverse datasets, as collecting reliable real-world data remains both difficult and cost-pro…
ActiveUMI: Robotic Manipulation with Active Perception from Robot-Free Human Demonstrations
Qiyuan Zeng, Chengmeng Li, Jude St. John +5
We present ActiveUMI, a framework for a data collection system that transfers in-the-wild human demonstrations to robots capable of complex bimanual manipulation. ActiveUMI couples…
dVLA: Diffusion Vision-Language-Action Model with Multimodal Chain-of-Thought
Junjie Wen, Minjie Zhu, Jiaming Liu +6
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models are emerging as a next-generation paradigm for robotics. We introduce dVLA, a diffusion-based VLA that leverages a multimodal chain-of-thought t…
DexVLA: Vision-Language Model with Plug-In Diffusion Expert for General Robot Control
Junjie Wen, Yichen Zhu, Jinming Li +3
Enabling robots to perform diverse tasks across varied environments is a central challenge in robot learning. While vision-language-action (VLA) models have shown promise for gener…
CoA-VLA: Improving Vision-Language-Action Models via Visual-Textual Chain-of-Affordance
Jinming Li, Yichen Zhu, Zhibin Tang +8
Robot foundation models, particularly Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models, have garnered significant attention for their ability to enhance robot policy learning, greatly improving…
Diffusion-VLA: Generalizable and Interpretable Robot Foundation Model via Self-Generated Reasoning
Junjie Wen, Minjie Zhu, Yichen Zhu +8
In this paper, we present DiffusionVLA, a novel framework that seamlessly combines the autoregression model with the diffusion model for learning visuomotor policy. Central to our…
