World Model Control by Trajectory Reachability Metrics

A fixed encoder is studied in a fixed encoder and trajectory reachability metrics (TRM), a small temporal pairwise cost trained from logged trajectories and used to rank predicted endpoints of a candidate action sequence against a goal is introduced.

Constrained Group Relative Policy Optimization

This work introduces Constrained GRPO, a Lagrangian-based extension of GRPO for constrained policy optimization, and addresses the coupling induced by reward scalarization by scalarizing standardized advantages rather than rewards.

Driving on Memory

This work removes a model's camera input and replaces it with memories from prior drives at the same location, suggesting that a high NAVSIM score does not require a planner to react to the current traffic scene and should be treated with caution.

AdaVLA: Adaptive Step Flow Matching for Training-free Acceleration of Vision-Language-Action Models

A novel metric derived from the flow matching trajectory curvature is introduced to quantify action generation confidence during inference and enables the dynamic reduction of inference steps and the adaptive adjustment of MLP pruning ratios through an efficiently computed importance evaluation, requiring no access to...

Brain-Language-Action (BLA) Models: Language-Conditioned EEG for Robotics Control

A proof-of-concept Brain-Language-Action (BLA) model for drone control using motor-imagery EEG from the BCI Competition IV 2a dataset is developed, providing an initial demonstration that language conditioning can expand the effective control range of EEG-based robotic interfaces without requiring a corresponding incre...

Generation of High-Level Concepts in 3D Scene Graphs via Autoregressive Diffusion

This work proposes a unified autoregressive diffusion-based graph generative model that jointly learns structure and features, constructing complete 3DSGs bottom-up from observed vertical planes across arbitrary hierarchy depths, and proposes an adaptation of the Fused Gromov--Wasserstein distance for principled graph-...

Event-triggered Control and Online Learning for Networked Systems under Computational Delays

Control performance guarantee is first established by deriving tracking error bound for the in-network control architecture, while accounting for computational delays, and an explicit expression of the proposed event-trigger condition for exponentially stabilizable systems is derived.

Asynchronous Cooperative Online Learning for Multi-Robot Control under Computational Delays

This work proposes an asynchronous cooperative learning strategy that explicitly accounts for prediction accuracy, query point variations and delay effects, and a distributed control law based on an adjoint MAS is developed to ensure the desired control performance.

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.
