Generative video models can serve as a promising backbone for robot navigation by predicting future observations as video plans. Recent approaches often condition video planning on short-horizon guidance and recover geometric waypoints through scene reconstruction, leaving longer-horizon planning and precise video-to-a...
Weave is presented, a unified framework for learning whole-body dexterous humanoid-object interaction from captured human demonstrations that converts captured human-object interactions into executable robot-object references through contact-aware retargeting and approach-motion completion.
The Neverwhere Benchmark Suite is developed, comprised of over sixty 3D Gaussian Splatting reconstructions of urban indoor and outdoor scenes, to encourage large-scale and reproducible robot evaluation by making it easier to create and integrate Gaussian splats-based reconstructions into simulated continuous testing se...
This work presents EMODY Flow, a lightweight flow-matching framework that attaches to a frozen Qwen-3 Omni model and reuses its internal Mimi audio-codecs to condition two parallel DiT generators - one for SMPL-X body pose, one for FLAME facial expressions.

Uncertainty estimation for Vision-Language-Navigation (VLN) models is a critical task since it can help identify ambiguous and unreliable predictions, enabling agents to make safer navigation decisions. As one of the most advanced uncertainty estimation frameworks, conformal prediction (CP) offers a promising approach...
Learning flexible motor primitives is a hallmark of skilled motor control. Recent neuroscience theory proposes that motor primitives may be implemented as low-rank perturbations of a shared recurrent network, but leaves open how such a system is learned. We translate this principle into a novel architecture for learnin...
Precise manipulation of liquid droplets underpins lab-on-a-chip platforms for diagnostics, chemical synthesis, and biological assays. Yet autonomous droplet transport through confined geometries of varying complexity remains an open challenge. Droplets exhibit contact-angle hysteresis, deformability, and capillary pinn...
Robots need touch to manipulate objects safely and reliably, as many properties, such as softness, texture, and contact stability, are hard to infer from vision alone. However, vision-based tactile sensors yield different observations of the same material due to variations in optics, elastomer properties, and illuminat...
Embodied language grounding requires more than identifying the referent of an instruction: recovered semantics must also control the action an agent exposes. We study this missing link as a semantic-action gap, where instruction semantics are recoverable but weakly expressed in native continuous actions. We introduce S...
A task-distribution-aware synthesis framework in which the operating distribution $\rho(q)$ enters the design explicitly is developed, and Nondominated fronts show that preferred mass-radius pairs depend on declared engineering bounds.
Hip exoskeletons may improve recovery from unexpected gait perturbations, yet personalizing assistance remains difficult because balance is multidimensional and human-in-the-loop experiments are small-sample and noisy. We present a participant-specific composite balance cost that integrates seven biomechanical sub-metr...
Feature-fusion Multi-Agent Proximal Policy Optimization (FMAPPO) is proposed, which fuses 2D LiDAR measurements with task-specific state information to enable safe decentralized multi-robot task assignment and navigation and demonstrates that the learned decentralized policies can coordinate multiple robots to service...
Robots are getting smarter, but how can their hardware match that growth? New Microsoft Research findings show that moving AI inference beyond the robot can improve task success, boost efficiency, and support more advanced physical AI workloads. The post Offloaded inference for real-world physical AI robotics appeared first on Microsoft Research.
