Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have showcased impressive skills in tasks related to visual understanding and reasoning. Yet, their widespread application faces obstacles due to the high computational demands during both the training and inference phases, restricting their use to a limited…
Humans possess a unified cognitive ability to perceive, comprehend, and interact with the physical world. Why can’t large language models replicate this holistic understanding? Through a systematic analysis of existing training paradigms in vision-language-action models (VLA), we identify two key ch
Robot foundation models, particularly Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models, have garnered significant attention for their ability to enhance robot policy learning, greatly improving robot's generalization and robustness. OpenAI's recent model, O1, showcased impressive capabilities in solving complex…
In this paper, we present DiffusionVLA, a novel framework that integrates autoregressive reasoning with diffusion policies to address the limitations of existing methods: while autoregressive Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models lack precise and robust action generation, diffusion-based policies inhe…
Continual Learning enables models to learn and adapt to new tasks while retaining prior knowledge. Introducing new tasks, however, can naturally lead to feature entanglement across tasks, limiting the model’s capability to distinguish between new domain data. In this work, we propose a method called…
Diffusion Policy is a powerful technique tool for learning end-to-end visuomotor robot control. It is expected that Diffusion Policy possesses scalability, a key attribute for deep neural networks, typically suggesting that increasing model size would lead to enhanced performance. However, our obser
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have shown remarkable potential in visuomotor control and instruction comprehension through end-to-end learning processes. However, current VLA models face significant challenges: they are slow during inference and require extensive pre-training on large amounts o
Neural temporal point processes(TPPs) have shown promise for modeling continuous-time event sequences. However, capturing the interactions between events is challenging yet critical for performing inference tasks like forecasting on event sequence data. Existing TPP models have focused on parameteri…
The language-conditioned robotic manipulation aims to transfer natural language instructions into executable actions, from simple "pick-and-place" to tasks requiring intent recognition and visual reasoning. Inspired by the dual-process theory in cognitive science—which suggests two parallel systems…
Humans interpret scenes by recognizing both the identities and positions of objects in their observations. For a robot to perform tasks such as "pick and place", understanding both what the objects are and where they are located is crucial. While the former has been extensively discussed in the lite…
