Recent progress in generalizable embodied control has been driven by large-scale pretraining of Vision–Language–Action (VLA) models. However, most existing approaches rely on large collections of robot demonstrations, which are costly to obtain and tightly coupled to specific embodiments. Human vide
Achieving human-like spatial intelligence for vision-language models (VLMs) requires inferring 3D structures from 2D observations, recognizing object properties and relations in 3D space, and performing high-level spatial reasoning. In this paper, we propose a principled hierarchical framework that
This paper presents an approach for pretraining robotic manipulation Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models using a large corpus of unscripted real-life video recordings of human hand activities. Treating human hand as dexterous robot end-effector, we show that "in-the-wild" egocentric human videos wit…
Vision-language models (VLMs) are essential to Embodied AI, enabling robots to perceive, reason, and act in complex environments. They also serve as the foundation for the recent Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models. Yet, most evaluations of VLMs focus on single-view settings, leaving their ability t…
Ultrasound image classification is important for disease diagnosis. It is more challenging than usual image classification tasks since ultrasound images are difficult to collect and usually contain lots of noise. This paper proposes a novel image classification framework for small-scaled and noisy u…
