Progress Reward Modeling for Robotic Learning: A Comprehensive Survey
Jianshu Zhang, Keliang Wu, Haoran Lu +8
Robotic learning takes place in dynamic environments with large behavior spaces. A terminal success signal only tells the robot whether the task is completed. It does not explain w…
Learning to Feel the Future: DreamTacVLA for Contact-Rich Manipulation
Guo Ye, Zexi Zhang, Xu Zhao +4
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have shown remarkable generalization by mapping web-scale knowledge to robotic control, yet they remain blind to physical contact. Consequently,…
APT: Atomic Physical Transitions for Causal Video-Language Understanding
Shang Wu, Haoran Lu, Songling Liu +7
Physical events are not understood by their names alone, but by the causal state changes that compose them. A clip-level label such as "bounce" can be correct while hiding the proc…
MagicSim: A Unified Infrastructure for Executable Embodied Interaction
Haoran Lu, Songling Liu, Yue Chen +15
Robot learning and embodied agents now require simulation to serve as a shared execution substrate linking control, skills, and planning, not only as a renderer, controller testbed…
Phys4D: Fine-Grained Physics-Consistent 4D Modeling from Video Diffusion
Haoran Lu, Shang Wu, Songling Liu +10
Recent video diffusion models have achieved impressive capabilities as large-scale generative world models. However, these models often struggle with fine-grained physical consiste…
SPACENUM: Revisiting Spatial Numerical Understanding in VLMs
Jianshu Zhang, Yijiang Li, Huifeixin Chen +4
Vision-Language Models (VLMs) are increasingly deployed in embodied environments, where they need produce numerical outputs such as action magnitudes and spatial coordinates. Altho…
