Delay-Aware Diffusion Policy: Bridging the Observation-Execution Gap in Dynamic Tasks
Aileen Liao, Dong-Ki Kim, Max Olan Smith +2
As a robot senses and selects actions, the world keeps changing. This inference delay creates a gap of tens to hundreds of milliseconds between the observed state and the state at…
GrndCtrl: Grounding World Models via Self-Supervised Reward Alignment
Haoyang He, Jay Patrikar, Dong-Ki Kim +5
Recent advances in video world modeling have enabled large-scale generative models to simulate embodied environments with high visual fidelity, providing strong priors for predicti…
Planning with Sketch-Guided Verification for Physics-Aware Video Generation
Yidong Huang, Zun Wang, Han Lin +5
Recent video generation approaches increasingly rely on planning intermediate control signals such as object trajectories to improve temporal coherence and motion fidelity. However…
Co-Me: Confidence-Guided Token Merging for Visual Geometric Transformers
Yutian Chen, Yuheng Qiu, Ruogu Li +4
We propose Confidence-Guided Token Merging (Co-Me), an acceleration mechanism for visual geometric transformers without retraining or finetuning the base model. Co-Me distilled a l…
Don't Run with Scissors: Pruning Breaks VLA Models but They Can Be Recovered
Jason Jabbour, Dong-Ki Kim, Max Smith +6
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models are a promising paradigm for field robotics, but their deployment is bottlenecked by strict edge SWaP-C constraints. Compression techniques such…
VENTURA: Adapting Image Diffusion Models for Unified Task Conditioned Navigation
Arthur Zhang, Xiangyun Meng, Luca Calliari +5
Robots must adapt to diverse human instructions and operate safely in unstructured, open-world environments. Recent Vision-Language models (VLMs) offer strong priors for grounding…
StageACT: Stage-Conditioned Imitation for Robust Humanoid Door Opening
Moonyoung Lee, Dong Ki Kim, Jai Krishna Bandi +4
Humanoid robots promise to operate in everyday human environments without requiring modifications to the surroundings. Among the many skills needed, opening doors is essential, as…
Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning for Sample-Efficient Deep Neural Network Mapping
Srivatsan Krishnan, Jason Jabbour, Dan Zhang +4
Mapping deep neural networks (DNNs) to hardware is critical for optimizing latency, energy consumption, and resource utilization, making it a cornerstone of high-performance accele…
Enter the Mind Palace: Reasoning and Planning for Long-term Active Embodied Question Answering
Muhammad Fadhil Ginting, Dong-Ki Kim, Xiangyun Meng +10
As robots become increasingly capable of operating over extended periods -- spanning days, weeks, and even months -- they are expected to accumulate knowledge of their environments…
Adaptive Accompaniment with ReaLchords
Yusong Wu, Tim Cooijmans, Kyle Kastner +10
Jamming requires coordination, anticipation, and collaborative creativity between musicians. Current generative models of music produce expressive output but are not able to genera…
FALCON: Learning Force-Adaptive Humanoid Loco-Manipulation
Yuanhang Zhang, Yifu Yuan, Prajwal Gurunath +7
Humanoid loco-manipulation holds transformative potential for daily service and industrial tasks, yet achieving precise, robust whole-body control with 3D end-effector force intera…
