Visuomotor imitation policies can achieve high performance under in-distribution visual conditions yet fail when visually similar objects or receptacles are introduced. We study this behavior as a problem of conditional visual grounding: the visual target required for successful control changes with the manipulation ph...

This paper presents the first attempt to estimate multi-person 3D poses solely from acoustic signals, a novel encoder-decoder framework consisting of two key components that precisely reconstructs frame-wise individual poses.

A dual-part MLBNet architecture is designed with multi-lateral encoder blocks and multi-head decoder branches for class-aware segmentation in cardiovascular catheterization scenes, which showed the dual-part models could effectively separate guidewire, catheter, vessels and background pixels to their classes of members...

Unattended interactive autonomy - machines that step into danger in place of humans and complete tasks with human tools - remains a missing capability in mission-critical operations. These domains offer scarce training data and only onboard compute, yet deployed systems must face novelty without erasing prior competenc...

Across DINOv2-giant and MetaCLIP-H with real-background queries, the largest fused-accuracy advantage of the real prototypes over either control is one percentage point; larger differences favor controls, by up to 2.8 points in arm means.
VLA-Precision, an efficient real-world online RL framework featuring the Asymmetric Co-Bootstrapping (ACoB) algorithm and the ACoB-Stream architecture, and ACoB-Stream, a closed-loop experience--policy architecture that establishes invariant-state decoupling and on-demand streaming as design principles, deliver up to 1...

World action models (WAMs) condition robot actions on predicted futures, but iterative video rollout increases deployment latency. We ask whether action generation requires the evolving rollout trajectory or only its future representation. Across four WAMs on 40 simulated robotic manipulation tasks, paired closed-loop...

This work introduces RedFlow, an offline post-training method for flow-matching VLA policies that requires neither external HIL corrections nor online data collection during post-training, and improves average success across four LIBERO suites.
Flow-matching policies are promising for imitation learning because they model complex multimodal action distributions. However, their stochasticity is largely passive: repeated sampling may yield diverse behaviors, but users cannot directly choose among valid continuations from the same state. We propose Source-Lifted...

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.
Gemini Robotics ER 2 helps robots reason, collaborate, and solve real-world tasks. It represents a step change in video understanding, tool orchestration, and multi-robot collaboration for robotic applications.
From feet to fingertips — we are teaching robots intelligent whole-body control, fine dexterity, and teamwork to complete a broad range of complex tasks.
