Autoregressive vision-language-action (VLA) models have recently demonstrated strong capabilities in robotic manipulation. However, their core process of action tokenization often involves a trade-off between reconstruction fidelity and inference efficiency. We introduce \textbf{FASTer}, a unified f…
Current Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models excel at robotic manipulation but often struggle with non-Markovian tasks requiring long-term memory and reasoning due to their reliance on immediate observations. Existing solutions face a frequency-competence paradox, where high-performance models are to…
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models are bottlenecked by the scarcity of expert demonstrations—expensive triplets of observations, language instructions, and actions. We propose that learning ''how to move'' can be decoupled from learning ''what to do,'' and that the former requires no task labels at…
In multi-agent scenarios, the ability to anticipate and respond to opponents is essential, particularly in environments involving adversarial and collaborative interactions. In this paper, we introduce Explicit Models of Opponents (EMO) based on Large Language Models (LLMs), enabling agents to bette…
Planning under opponent uncertainty is a fundamental challenge in multi-agent environments, where an agent must act while inferring the hidden policies of its opponents. Existing type-based methods rely on manually defined behavior classes and struggle to scale, while model-free approaches are sampl…
General-purposed embodied agents are designed to understand the users' natural instructions or intentions and act precisely to complete universal tasks. Recently, methods based on foundation models especially Vision-Language-Action models (VLAs) have shown a substantial potential to solve language-c…
When an agent is in a multi-agent environment, it may face previously unseen opponents, and it is a challenge to cooperate with other agents to accomplish the task together or to maximize its own rewards. Most opponent modeling methods deal with the non-stationarity caused by unknown opponent polici…
When one agent interacts with a multi-agent environment, it is challenging to deal with various opponents unseen before. Modeling the behaviors, goals, or beliefs of opponents could help the agent adjust its policy to adapt to different opponents. In addition, it is also important to consider oppone…
