STAR: Sparse Tactile Representation Learning in Vision-Tactile-Language-Action Models for Dexterous Manipulation

Dexterous manipulation requires coordinated multi-finger control and effective tactile feedback, yet learning these capabilities remains challenging due to the lack of large-scale real-world data and the difficulty of extracting effective representations from sparse tactile signals. We build a robot platform and teleoperation system to collect a 200-hour bimanual dexterous manipulation dataset with synchronized visual, tactile, and language annotations, comprising 10,576 trajectories across 65 tasks, 69.5% of which involve dexterous multi-finger manipulation. We further propose STAR, an integrated training recipe for vision-tactile-language-action (VTLA) models that addresses the spatial, temporal, and informational sparsity of tactile signals through visual-tactile joint pre-training, sparse-global tactile token representation, and sparse future tactile prediction. Trained on this dataset, STAR achieves a 61% average success rate across four real-world tasks with 100 post-training trajectories per task, demonstrating dexterous performance under task-specific post-training.

Video-HolmesV2: Can MLLMs Reason with Spatio-Temporal Audio-Visual Evidence in Long Videos?

Multimodal Large Language Models have demonstrated impressive video understanding, yet their ability to reason over long-form narratives is often masked by visual-centric evaluations and inefficient context processing. Existing benchmarks over-rely on visual heuristics while marginalizing auditory cues, effectively reducing models to"silent observers"that bypass genuine cross-modal reasoning. Moreover, standard dense sampling creates an evidence-context trade-off: increasing frames to capture evidence inevitably leads to attention distraction and token explosion. To bridge these gaps, we present Video-HolmesV2, a novel benchmark designed for Deep Audio-Visual Coupling. Unlike previous works, it enforces an Evidence-Based Evaluation, requiring models to justify answers with precise spatio-temporal audio-visual evidence, thereby reducing confounding effects of guessing and hallucinated evidence. To support this, we introduce: (1) a Multi-Model Cross-Verification pipeline to ensure task rigor; (2) a Spatio-temporal Evidence-Aware Metric for fine-grained calibration. Furthermore, we propose an Audio-Text Guided Token Compression framework. By fusing task intent with auditory anchors, our method distills high-value reasoning cues to mitigate long-context noise. In our evaluation, even strong proprietary models achieve below 60% accuracy, while our approach outperforms comparable open-source omni-models.
