Due to their ability of follow natural language instructions, vision-language-action (VLA) models are increasingly preva- lent in the embodied AI arena, following the widespread suc- cess of their precursors—LLMs and VLMs. In this paper, we discuss 10 principal milestones in the ongoing develop- men
Foundation models (FMs) are increasingly applied to bridge language and action in embodied agents, yet the operational characteristics of different integration strategies remain under-explored—especially for complex instruction following and versatile action generation in changing environments. We i
Object permanence in psychology means knowing that objects still exist even if they are no longer visible. It is a crucial concept for robots to operate autonomously in uncontrolled environments. Existing approaches learn object permanence from low-level perception, but perform poorly on more comple…
Reliable perception is essential for robots that interact with the world. But sensors alone are often insufficient to provide this capability, and they are prone to errors due to various conditions in the environment. Furthermore, there is a need for robots to maintain a model of its surroundings ev…
