Imagine2Act: Leveraging Object-Action Motion Consistency from Imagined Goals for Robotic Manipulation

ICRA 2026poster

Relational object rearrangement (ROR) tasks require a robot to manipulate objects with precise semantic and geometric reasoning. Existing approaches either rely on pre-collected demonstrations that struggle to capture complex geometric constraints, or generate goal-state observations to capture sema…

MoLe-VLA: Dynamic Layer-skipping Vision Language Action Model via Mixture-of-Layers for Efficient Robot Manipulation

AAAI 2026technical

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models enable robotic systems to perform embodied tasks but face deployment challenges due to the high computational demands of the dense Large Language Models (LLMs), with existing early-exit-based sparsification methods often overlooking the critical semantic role of f

ViTacFormer: Learning Cross-Modal Representation for Visuo-Tactile Dexterous Manipulation

RSS 2026poster

Dexterous manipulation is a cornerstone capability for robotic systems aiming to interact with the physical world in a human-like manner. Although vision-based methods have advanced rapidly, tactile sensing remains crucial for fine-grained control—particularly in unstructured or visually occluded se…

3DS-VLA: A 3D Spatial-Aware Vision Language Action Model for Robust Multi-Task Manipulation

CoRL 2025poster

Recently, 2D vision-language-action (VLA) models have made significant strides in multi-task manipulation. However, these models struggle to reason about 3D spatial relationships from 2D image inputs. Although an increasing number of 3D approaches explicitly integrate 3D information, they encounter…

3DWG: 3D Weakly Supervised Visual Grounding via Category and Instance-Level Alignment

ICRA 2025

The 3D weakly-supervised visual grounding task aims to localize oriented 3D boxes in point clouds based on natural language descriptions without requiring annotations to guide model learning. This setting presents two primary challenges: category-level ambiguity and instance-level complexity. Catego

Object-Centric Prompt-Driven Vision-Language-Action Model for Robotic Manipulation

CVPR 2025poster

In robotic manipulation, task goals can be conveyed through various modalities, such as language, goal images, and goal videos. However, natural language can be ambiguous, while images or videos may offer overly detailed specifications. To address these challenges, we propose a novel approach using…
