SPOT: Spatial Perception-Oriented Long-Horizon Humanoid Teleoperation

High-quality demonstration data is becoming a central bottleneck for training general-purpose humanoid robots. While recent humanoid teleoperation systems have made substantial progress in retargeting human motion to robot motion, long-horizon loco-manipulation requires another capability: operators must maintain task-...

An Unexpected Robot Policy: Early Evaluations of GPT-6 Astra on RoboDojo and Beyond

Embodied AI systems are often organized into System 1 and System 2. System 1 is typically a pretrained policy that generates actions at high frequency, whereas System 2 is often instantiated as a vision-enabled language model for high-level planning. We ask whether a large language model (LLM) can act as the policy for...

GeoBridge: Decoupled Semantic Conditioning for Generative Image Geolocalization

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have advanced image geolocalization mainly by improving how they reason about geographic cues. How that reasoning isdecoded into coordinates, however, has lagged behind. Predicting a place name for a geocoding API is discrete and lossy: it ignores image evidence and collapses mu...

HarnessEval-W: Agentifying the Evaluation of Visual Worlds

A benchmark should deliver more than a scalar score: what makes an evaluation trustworthy is the reasoning that justifies the score. This is especially critical for world models, where judging a rollout requires understanding whether physics, causality, and world state evolve correctly. Humans spot such violations natu...

Better Call CineCrew: Consistent Ultra-Long Narrative-to-Film Generation

A structured orchestration layer for film-oriented script-to-video generation is introduced as a multi-agent framework that operates between scripts and off-the-shelf video generators, centered on FilmDSL.

UniMate: One Unified Model to Animate Diverse Skeletons

UniMate is presented, a unified foundation model that synthesizes articulated motion for arbitrary skeletons from a rigged 3D asset and a text prompt, with no test-time optimization or per-skeleton retraining, and outperforms state-of-the-art baselines in quality, generalization, and efficiency.

RoboEdit: Turning Human Manipulation Videos into Scalable Robot Experience

RoboEdit is presented, a human-to-robot video editing suite that transforms human manipulation videos into action-consistent, physically plausible robot videos with aligned 3D hand states, providing scalable, high-fidelity visual and 3D motion supervision for generalizable robot learning.

Learning Physical Interaction: A Survey of Tactile- and Force-aware Robot Learning

Physically grounded robot intelligence requires robots to perceive, reason about, and regulate their interactions with the physical world. This capability is particularly critical in contact-sensitive manipulation, where successful task execution depends not only on visual perception and motion generation, but also on...

NeuralActuator: Neural Actuation Modeling for Robot Dynamics and External Force Perception

This work validates NeuralActuator on a 5-DoF OpenManipulator-X, a 6-DoF SO-101 from LeRobot, and a 7-DoF Franka Emika Panda, spanning three actuator families and costs from approximately \$500 to more than \$30{,}000.
