Risk-Aware Decision-Making for Autonomous Overtaking: A World Model-Based Mixture-of-Experts Framework

A World Model-based Risk-aware Mixture-of-Experts (WM-RMoE) framework is proposed, which uniquely exhibits the ability to generate foresighted and semantically distinct overtaking maneuvers across diverse traffic densities.

CoLT-Drive: Counterfactual Long-Tail Benchmarking and Knowledge-Preserving Adaptation for Driving Affordance Prediction

To improve deployable small VLMs, KPA is proposed, a knowledge-preserving adaptation framework that combines structured perception-to-decision prompting, SLERP-based expert merging, and RegMoE, a regime-aware LoRA mixture-of-experts module that preserves the pretrained model's open-world knowledge while allocating ligh...

Memory-Native Non-Terrestrial Networks for Embodied Intelligence

This paper proposes the memory-native NTN (Mem-NTN) paradigm that leverages long-horizon contexts for memory-augmented system optimization and establishes a dual-memory architecture that distinguishes between physical memory representing the state of the world and digital memory encoding historical network experience.

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.
