Spatial Latent Reasoning for Embodied Reference Understanding

Pointing-gesture visual grounding requires connecting hand geometry with the visual identity and extent of a referred object. A central challenge for continuous latent reasoning is how to organize these complementary cues into useful intermediate supervision. We propose Spatial Latent Reasoning (SLR), a framework that...

SkillCycle: Co-Evolving Agent Policies and Skill Banks

Results show that continually revising skill guidance as the agent's capabilities change helps transform external skills into policy capabilities that require no skill inputs at inference.

ACE: Agentic Control for Embodied Manipulation via Zero-shot Workflow Reasoning

While standard end-to-end baselines struggle to complete these logically demanding tasks, ACE achieves a 50% success rate in equation formation and a 70% success rate in constraint retrieval, demonstrating that explicit workflow reasoning and mask-mediated control offer a robust, practical route toward adaptable roboti...

Teaching Tiny VLA Models Where to Look and How to Move

XS-VLA is introduced, a lightweight framework that teaches tiny VLA policies "where to look" and "how to move" without increasing deployment-time model cost and shows that explicit spatial grounding and latent action-structure learning can make tiny VLA models effective for robotic manipulation.
