DriveVLA-W0: World Models Amplify Data Scaling Law in Autonomous Driving

ICLR 2026poster

Scaling Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models on large-scale data offers a promising path to achieving a more generalized driving intelligence. However, VLA models are limited by a ``supervision deficit'': the vast model capacity is supervised by sparse, low-dimensional actions, leaving much of their…

DynVLA: Learning World Dynamics for Action Reasoning in Autonomous Driving

ICML 2026poster

We propose DynVLA, a driving VLA model that introduces a new CoT paradigm termed Dynamics CoT. DynVLA forecasts compact world dynamics before action generation, enabling more informed and physically grounded decision-making. To obtain compact dynamics representations, DynVLA introduces a Dynamics To…

Unified Vision-Language-Action Model

ICLR 2026poster

Vision-language-action models (VLAs) have garnered significant attention for their potential in advancing robotic manipulation. However, previous approaches predominantly rely on the general comprehension capabilities of vision-language models (VLMs) to generate action signals, often overlooking the…

Enhancing End-to-End Autonomous Driving with Latent World Model

ICLR 2025poster

In autonomous driving, end-to-end planners directly utilize raw sensor data, enabling them to extract richer scene features and reduce information loss compared to traditional planners. This raises a crucial research question: how can we develop better scene feature representations to fully leverage…

TC-Light: Temporally Coherent Generative Rendering for Realistic World Transfer

NeurIPS 2025poster

Illumination and texture rerendering are critical dimensions for world-to-world transfer, which is valuable for applications including sim2real and real2real visual data scaling up for embodied AI. Existing techniques generatively re-render the input video to realize the transfer, such as video reli…

Densely Constrained Depth Estimator for Monocular 3D Object Detection

ECCV 2022poster

"Estimating accurate 3D locations of objects from monocular images is a challenging problem because of lacking depth. Previous work shows that utilizing the object’s keypoint projection constraints to estimate multiple depth candidates boosts the detection performance. However, the existing methods…
