From Human Videos to Robot Manipulation: A Survey on Action-Relevant Representation Transfer for Scalable Vision-Language-Action Learning

IJCAI 2026

Recent progress in generalizable embodied control has been driven by large-scale pretraining of Vision–Language–Action (VLA) models. However, most existing approaches rely on large collections of robot demonstrations, which are costly to obtain and tightly coupled to specific embodiments. Human vide

HiSpatial: Taming Hierarchical 3D Spatial Understanding in Vision-Language Models

CVPR 2026

Achieving human-like spatial intelligence for vision-language models (VLMs) requires inferring 3D structures from 2D observations, recognizing object properties and relations in 3D space, and performing high-level spatial reasoning. In this paper, we propose a principled hierarchical framework that

VideoVLA: Video Generators Can Be Generalizable Robot Manipulators

NeurIPS 2025poster

Generalization in robot manipulation is essential for deploying robots in open-world environments and advancing toward artificial general intelligence. While recent Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models leverage large pre-trained understanding models for perception and instruction following, their abi…

V-DETR: DETR with Vertex Relative Position Encoding for 3D Object Detection

ICLR 2024poster

We introduce a highly performant 3D object detector for point clouds using the DETR framework. The prior attempts all end up with suboptimal results because they fail to learn accurate inductive biases from the limited scale of training data. In particular, the queries often attend to points that ar…
