Are Frontier VLM Agents Ready to Be Robot Generalists? An Empirical Study with the Embodied Agent Arena

Frontier vision-language models (VLMs) increasingly estimate scenes, ground interactions, and generate executable actions. How far these native capabilities support embodied generalism across diverse tasks remains unclear. We introduce Embodied Agent Arena to assess seven VLM agents across Geometry, Spatial Reasoning,...

RACaP: Agentic Reasoning, Acting, and Coding as Policies for Evolvable Robot Learning

RACaP is introduced, an agentic framework that moves coding to evolution and uses a Reasoning-and-Acting loop to call frozen, typed Policy APIs at deployment and shows that separating reusable code from runtime decisions supports continued evolution, effective transfer, and efficient long-horizon control.

In-Context Learning for Robots: Methods and Applications

A literature review around the interfaces connecting contextual evidence to execution, distinguishing four families: context-conditioned policies, geometric demonstration transfer, world-model-based control, and skill- and agent-based execution.

Robo-Harness K1: Harnessing Robot-Use Agents via Perception Augmentation

Robo-Harness K1 is introduced, a robot-use agent (RUA) framework that exposes perception as tools that makes 3D geometry accessible without changing the VLM architecture or training a depth encoder, and suggests that perception-augmented RUAs offer a promising route to sample-efficient, generalizable robotic policies t...

World Action Agent: Harnessing VLMs for Robot Manipulation via World Action Rehearsal

World Action Agent is presented, a multi-agent harness through which VLMs pilot robots with basic tools, making every decision within a visual action workspace, outperforming end-to-end VLAs, code-as-policy agents, and a visual-harness baseline with the same backbone.

AffordanceWAM: Affordance-Aware Joint World-Action Modeling for Robot Manipulation

AffordanceWAM is introduced, an affordance-aware generative World Action Model that represents object-centric spatiotemporal affordance through Scalar Affordance and Affordance Heatmap, within the generated future World, and supports affordance as an effective interface for both vision-language-action learning and huma...

Policy and World Modeling Co-Training for Language Agents

PaW is a Policy and World modeling co-training framework that adds auxiliary WM supervision to the same policy during RL, without changing the inference paradigm, and shows consistent improvements over strong RL baselines across models and RL algorithms.
