4D-HOF: Hand-Object Flow Matching for Feed-Forward 4D Interaction Reconstruction

Existing methods for 4D hand-object reconstruction often rely on costly per-sequence optimization, while generative approaches typically synthesize interactions from random noise, which can lead to unstable interaction prediction. We introduce 4D-HOF, a feed-forward framework that reconstructs 4D hand-object interactio...

DepthWorld: 3D World Model for Robot Manipulation

World models offer a data-driven alternative to traditional simulators for robotics, with applications spanning policy evaluation, improvement, and planning. All of these uses depend on faithful 3D geometry, yet current video-based world models are trained on RGB alone and produce rollouts that look correct frame-by-fr...

WorldSonus: Bringing Sound to Worlds

Recent advances in world models have enabled increasingly realistic visual synthesis. However, these generated environments remain largely silent. Bringing sound to world models poses three core challenges: real-time generation to keep pace with interactive video streams, interactive control to respond to mid-stream so...

EgoLAP: Learning from Egocentric Human Data through Language-Action Reasoning

Egocentric human data offer a path to scaling robot learning beyond costly robot demonstrations, yet the embodiment gap makes raw human trajectories a poor supervisory target for control. Our key insight is that, although low-level actions are embodiment-specific, their underlying motion intent can capture task-relevan...

Semantic Behavioral Watermarking: Paraphrase-Robust and Forgery-Resistant Provenance for LLM Agents

Behavioral watermarking embeds an owner identifier in an LLM agent's high-level action choices, giving provenance without touching output tokens. Prior agent watermarks break in two ways. First, all three prior schemes bind the watermark to the exact action symbol, so renaming a tool desynchronizes decoding even when t...

Selective Transfer of RL Updates for Visual Reasoning

Model merging provides a training-free way to transfer reasoning capabilities from language models to vision-language models (VLMs), but endpoint-based transfer can conflate pre-existing model differences with changes acquired during reasoning post-training. We instead formulate capability transfer around the training-...

HygieneRoboBench: Benchmarking Hygiene-Aware Planning for Household Robots

Contact with contaminated objects can spread hazards through a household robot's grippers, tools, and shared surfaces, while new contacts can make an existing plan unsafe. Existing benchmarks do not jointly assess how planners identify hygiene risks from contact history and plan safe continuations after new contact eve...

Agentic RCA for Internet-Scale Services Using Constrained Creativity

System administrators of Internet-scale services need to resolve failure incidents to maintain reliability of such services. Ideally, we want a troubleshooting system to be: (1) expressive to known and unknown incidents with high accuracy; (2) cost efficient at scale; (3) explainable to provide actionable insights oper...

A Swarm-Coordinated Multi-Robot System for Early Stress Detection in Agricultural Rows Using Multimodal Leaf Sensing

Early stress detection in crops is a necessity today to improve efficiency and reduce waste of time, money, and effort. However, most modern techniques, such as hyperspectral imaging and AI-based systems, are too costly and complex for medium and small-scale farmers to implement. This paper showcases CropSentry, a low-...

One for All, All for One: Coordinated Multi-Agent Diffusion Steering via Stochastic Optimal Control

Deep generative models often produce structured outputs composed of interacting components. Modelling these outputs with a single model requires learning both the component distributions and their interactions. We pursue a modular alternative: reuse independently trained component generators and learn only how to coord...

Micro Neural Policies for Safe Real-Time Robotic Control

In this paper, we investigate the synthesis of Micro Neural Policies (MNP) to enable safe and robust real-time robotic control on computationally constrained embedded devices. We demonstrate that integrating Evolution Strategy (ES) and Statistical Model Checking (SMC)-based verification for policy search can drasticall...

MedCORE: Criteria-Grounded Clinical Reasoning for Interpretable Medical Image Diagnosis

Clinical diagnosis is inherently a structured reasoning process, yet existing deep learning models often bypass this structure by mapping image features directly to disease labels without explicitly interrogating the morphological and textural criteria that clinicians systematically evaluate. This limits diagnostic tra...
