Show-Harness: Just a VLM Agent Can Play Robots

Show-Harness, an Embodied Harness that enables VLMs to"play" robots through a compact semantic interface linking intent to action, and develops GUMI (GUI Manipulation Interface), which extends the same semantic action space to GUI-based demonstration collection, allowing humans and agents to"play"robots across embodime...

PACE: Perceived-Latency-Aware Cascading Service Routing and Filler Control for QoE-Efficient Retrieval-Augmented Dialogue Serving

The PACE is presented, a framework for retrieval-augmented dialogue serving that formalizes Perceived Time-to-First-Response (PTFR) as a QoE objective and minimizes it under quality/cost constraints and is the first quantification of filler-answer conflict risk in deployed services.

Compact Visuotactile World Models for Lifting: Prediction, Reward Alignment, and Force Constraints

A 652,157-parameter action-conditioned visuotactile world model with matched behavior cloning, policy learning in imagination, independent reactive implicit Q-learning, and model-assisted force feedback is studied, finding that accurate tactile forecasts need not improve force-constrained control.

Belief-State Engine: Augmenting LLMs for Principled Planning Under Partial Observability

It is proved that the LLM paired with the BSE is a sound Markov policy on the belief MDP induced by the underlying POMDP, and inherits the Bellman optimality guarantees of classical POMDP theory, provided the LLM is never exposed to the raw history.

Time-Frequency Geometric Cross-Attention for Chunked Vision-Language-Action Models

Time-Frequency Geometric Cross-Attention (TFGCA), a drop-in module repairing both blind spots in vision-language-action policies, uses a per-dimension learnable stationary wavelet transform to decompose the action chunk into time-frequency tokens, and each time token retrieves information from them via a cross-attentio...

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.
