Safe social navigation requires a robot to anticipate not only the future consequences of its actions, but also whether a nominal action can actually be executed under surrounding physical and social constraints. We present Social-WM, an efficient latent world-model planning framework trained from egocentric RGB video sequences.
Accurate human motion prediction is crucial for robotic systems operating around people, particularly in complex indoor spaces. In this study, we assess the relative importance of different sources of information in indoor motion prediction with a human motion diffusion model.
Long-horizon robotic tasks are vulnerable to unexpected environmental changes that can render planned actions ineffective or unsafe. To address this, robots must detect such changes as they occur, interpret their impact, and adjust their actions accordingly.
World-Action Models (WAMs) couple visual dynamics with action prediction, bringing the rich priors of pretrained video models to robotic manipulation. However, their multi-view interfaces typically tile images or concatenate tokens, leaving the geometric relationships among synchronized cameras implicit.
Vision-language-action (VLA) models have advanced robotic manipulation, but their zero-shot generalization in new tasks and environments remains limited, and their reliance on specialized training keeps them from benefiting directly from rapidly advancing general-purpose vision-language models (VLMs). In parallel, recent agentic robotic systems leverage VLMs for high-level reasoning or coding agents for robot control, but often depend on extensive external models and tools, introducing additional complexity and cost.
Robot policies are frequently trained from human corrections, yet teleoperating a robot to provide corrections is burdensome, and human demonstrators are not always optimal. We propose Blended DAgger (BlenDAgger), an approach for collecting data to train imitation learning policies by using shared control to blend the policy's and demonstrator's actions during interventions.
Egocentric human demonstrations offer an accessible source of task experience, but differences in body scale and controller response, together with missing robot states, limit their value as humanoid training supervision. We present EgoAlign, a data-construction framework that converts these demonstrations into action and state supervision compatible with a general-purpose, continuous whole-body controller, without collecting physical-robot demonstrations.
World-action models jointly learn robot policies and predict future observations, making the representation space an interface between control and prediction. We study the design of this space through controlled comparisons, finding that neither reconstruction fidelity nor pre-trained perceptual features alone ensure effective policy learning.
Monocular RGB video provides an accessible source of human demonstrations for upper-body robot motion, yet video-driven human-to-robot transfer remains challenging because body and hand motion are recovered at different spatial scales, human and robot kinematics differ substantially, and fine distal motion is difficult to preserve across embodiments. We present a geometry-preserving motion-retargeting framework that integrates unified body--hand reconstruction with morphology-independent geometric transfer.
Contingency games enable agents to anticipate and plan for other agents' hypothetical intents by constructing trajectories with a shared prefix and intent-dependent branches. While contingency games capture intent uncertainty, existing formulations rely on a single branching time, oversimplifying interactions in which different agents' intentions are revealed at different times.
Visual Language Action (VLA) models offer unprecedented generalization for autonomous robots; however, their real-world deployment is frequently bottlenecked by unreliable execution and the prohibitive computational cost of fine-tuning for specific robot embodiments and tasks. To bridge this gap, we propose WayFinder, an end-to-end, closed-loop hierarchical VLA framework that circumvents the need for fine-tuning by decoupling high-level task reasoning from low-level kinematic control.
Average performance on routine driving benchmarks does not establish planner reliability under rare, safety-critical hazards. We proposed ExceptionDrive, a counterfactual planning benchmark that uses VLM-assisted screening, localized multi-view editing, and quality auditing to insert hazards into real nuScenes scenes while preserving their context.
Robot policies increasingly incorporate semantic reasoning and future-world prediction, yet combining these capabilities does not guarantee that local predictions and actions remain aligned with task progress. We introduce CogWAM, a cognition-guided world-action model that establishes an explicit semantic interface between task reasoning and world-action learning through a persistent Semantic State, which stores completed task events and the active subtask.
We present Pow3R-SLAM, a real-time RGB-D simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) system that uses Pow3R for tracking and mapping. Inspired by MASt3R-SLAM, a recent work on monocular SLAM using two-view 3D reconstruction priors, we extend the work to incorporate depth as a prior on the network's prediction, rather than as geometry to fuse.
Vision-language-action and world-action models have demonstrated impressive capabilities in robotics, yet generalization to unseen tasks remains challenging. More recently, general-purpose multimodal agents have shown great potential for zero-shot robotic task solving.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) systems are typically calibrated for an average driver, often resulting in a mismatch between vehicle behavior and individual expectations during time-critical maneuvers such as highway overtaking. When the ACC is perceived as too conservative and inconsistent, drivers intervene through throttle overrides, providing implicit feedback on the system's behavior.
Agile flight tasks such as drone racing and pursuit-evasion require strong acceleration and precise turns, but the available thrust changes as the battery discharges and voltage drops under load. Conservative command limits make this variation easier to tolerate, at the cost of unused performance.
Autonomous vehicles interacting with passengers through natural language must reason beyond immediate commands. Passenger intent may span multiple stages of behavior, depend on future events, refer to surrounding agents or landmarks, and remain relevant as driving conditions evolve.
Search and Rescue (SAR) operations increasingly deploy heterogeneous teams of aerial and ground robots. However, conventional coverage methods typically do not translate perceived terrain into platform-specific reachability, while continuous image exchange imposes a high communication cost.
Latent world models learn action-conditioned dynamics in representation space and often score candidate actions by Euclidean distance to a goal representation. Joint training typically regularizes the representation to prevent collapse, but the resulting representation geometry also determines how terminal errors are weighted during planning.
