Situation Awareness for Intelligent Data Distribution in Connected Vehicles

The proposed situation identification approach enables efficient sensor data management by prioritizing relevant data to the current traffic situation by identifying the current traffic situation using Bird's-Eye-View images.

Robots influencing humans to reveal their goals during collaboration and competition

This work formalises CDPs using a goal-conditioned policy divergence measure and incorporates them into a Receding-Horizon Planner that explores future action sequences while optimizing a cost function balancing task progress and information gain.

PlannerForge: LLM Agents for Scenario-Based Testing of Motion Planners in Autonomous Driving

Ensuring the safety of autonomous driving is a critical challenge. Scenario-based testing is a systematic process used to validate Autonomous Driving Systems (ADSs), but it remains a fragmented modular pipeline in which scenario generation, retrieval, modification, ADS execution, and results analysis are performed by s...

ARC-Bench: Closed-Loop Replanning Masks Broken Action Ranking in Frozen JEPA World Models

Reward-free latent world models plan by scoring candidate actions with distances in a frozen latent space: an action is preferred if its predicted future embedding lands closer to the goal embedding. This silently assumes that latent closeness is action-rankable, i.e., that ordering candidates by latent distance agrees...

Alignment Under Pressure: AR-HMD Support Tools for Action Teams

Team communication breakdowns represent a contributor to patient safety risks within action teams-defined as interdependent groups of specialized people who perform coordinated work under high workload, time pressure, and uncertainty. Approximately 70% of such instances lead to adverse patient outcomes amid intense tim...

Same Trajectory, Contradictory Rewards (ROBORMBENCH): Paraphrase Fragility in Vision Language Reward Models

This work shows that paraphrase robustness is a core requirement for reliable VLM-based reward modeling in robotics and introduces ROBORMBENCH, a benchmark with 2,390 real-robot trajectories, ground-truth progress labels, and 21,673 verified paraphrases spanning lexical, syntactic, and action-goal rewrites.

SCRIPT: Scalable Diffusion Policy with Multi-stage Training for Language-driven Physics-based Humanoid Control

This work proposes SCRIPT, a scalable diffusion policy with a multi-stage training framework for language-driven physics-based humanoid control, and introduces a nonlinear history conditioning mechanism, which preserves the dense recent context and samples increasingly sparse cues from long-term history.

Squint: Fast Visual Reinforcement Learning for Sim-to-Real Robotics

Visual reinforcement learning is appealing for robotics but expensive. Off-policy methods are sample-efficient yet slow while on-policy methods parallelize well but waste samples. Recent work has shown that off-policy methods can train faster than on-policy methods in wall-clock time for state-based control. Extending...

Coupled Control and Wireless World Models for Resilient Remote Robotic Control

A resilient communication-aware remote robotic control framework based on coupled control and wireless Joint Embedding Predictive Architecture (JEPA) world models that jointly capture robot dynamics and wireless channel evolution from visual observations and a combination of raw and structured radio frequency (RF) repr...

Offloaded inference for real-world physical AI robotics

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.
