SIMPACT: Simulation-Enabled Action Planning using Vision-Language Models

CVPR 2026

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) exhibit remarkable common-sense and semantic reasoning capabilities. However, they lack a grounded understanding of physical dynamics. This limitation arises from training VLMs on static internet-scale visual-language data that contain no causal interactions or action-c

\textcolorMaroon\texttt{OAT}\textcolorMaroon\texttt{OAT}\textcolor{Maroon}{\textbf{\texttt{OAT}}}: Ordered Action Tokenization

RSS 2026poster

Autoregressive policies offer a compelling foundation for scalable robot learning by enabling discrete abstraction, token-level reasoning, and flexible inference. However, applying autoregressive modeling to continuous robot actions requires an effective action tokenization scheme. Existing approach…

Hybrid Internal Model: Learning Agile Legged Locomotion with Simulated Robot Response

ICLR 2024poster

Robust locomotion control depends on accurate state estimations. However, the sensors of most legged robots can only provide partial and noisy observations, making the estimation particularly challenging, especially for external states like terrain frictions and elevation maps. Inspired by the class…

Train Once, Get a Family: State-Adaptive Balances for Offline-to-Online Reinforcement Learning

NeurIPS 2023spotlight

Offline-to-online reinforcement learning (RL) is a training paradigm that combines pre-training on a pre-collected dataset with fine-tuning in an online environment. However, the incorporation of online fine-tuning can intensify the well-known distributional shift problem. Existing solutions tackle…
