XPolicyLab: A Unified Standard and Open Ecosystem for Robot Policy Evaluation and Deployment

Robot policy evaluation and deployment remain fragmented by model-specific software dependencies, data representations, and runtime interfaces, so that connecting N policies to M evaluation environments requires O(NM) separate integrations. We present XPolicyLab, a unified standard and open ecosystem that reduces this cost to O(N+M). XPolicyLab specifies common observation, action, and trajectory schemas together with a minimal adapter interface for observation updates, action prediction, batched execution, and episode reset, while a dependency-isolated client/server architecture separates policy inference from environment execution, so that each side retains its native software stack and may run locally or remotely. The ecosystem integrates 42 robot policies and standardizes their installation, debugging, serving, and evaluation workflows. Across these adapters, model-specific code varies by an order of magnitude while the environment-facing loop stays within a few lines of a fixed reference, confirming that the contract confines heterogeneity to the policy side. In a controlled study, conforming to the standard reduces the integration effort of a representative policy from over five hours to two hours, and packaged agent skills reduce it further to thirty minutes. The same adapters serve RoboTwin, RoboDojo simulation, and standardized real-robot evaluation through one interface. XPolicyLab is released as shared infrastructure for reproducible policy comparison and standardized deployment across simulation and physical platforms.

Xiaomi-Robotics-1: Scaling Vision-Language-Action Models with over 100K Hours of Real-World Trajectories

We present Xiaomi-Robotics-1, a foundational vision-language-action (VLA) model capable of (1) following diverse language instructions to perform a wide range of mobile manipulation tasks in unseen environments out-of-the-box, and (2) efficiently adapting to novel downstream tasks with minimal fine-tuning data. We propose a two-stage training recipe consisting of pre-training and post-training. During pre-training, we imbue the model with broad and generalizable action-generation capabilities by training on over 100k hours of real-world manipulation trajectories collected via UMI devices. Crucially, we develop a scalable auto-labeling pipeline that annotates trajectory clips with natural languages describing scene state transitions, providing rich and precise conditioning for action learning. During post-training, we aim to align these capabilities with robot embodiments and imperative instructions that humans naturally use to prompt robots. Extensive experiments demonstrate strong scaling behavior. Xiaomi-Robotics-1 consistently improves with increased data scales and model sizes during pre-training. This scaling behavior directly transfers to post-training, where a stronger pre-training model yields better out-of-the-box real-robot performance in unseen environments. Furthermore, Xiaomi-Robotics-1 serves as a strong robot foundation policy that can be efficiently fine-tuned on complex, dexterous tasks with high data efficiency. Across multiple simulation benchmarks, Xiaomi-Robotics-1 outperforms state-of-the-art methods. Notably, it establishes a new state-of-the-art with a 57.4% success rate on RoboCasa365, surpassing the previous best of 46.6%. Furthermore, it achieves an average score of 20.07 on RoboDojo, significantly outperforming the prior state-of-the-art (13.07). Code and model checkpoints will be released.

PAGE-RAG: Evidence-Grounded Adaptive Graph Retrieval for Long-Document Question Answering

GraphRAG improves long-document question answering by introducing structured representations beyond conventional retrieval. However, automatically constructed graphs are inherently incomplete projections of source documents, and treating them as independent knowledge sources may lead to unreliable retrieval and generation. We propose PAGE-RAG, a projection-aware adaptive graph retrieval framework for reliable long-document question answering. PAGE-RAG views graph structures as semantic skeletons that organize and navigate document knowledge, rather than replacing the original knowledge source. Based on this perspective, PAGE-RAG introduces a task-adaptive retrieval routing strategy that dynamically selects appropriate retrieval behaviors according to query requirements. Furthermore, PAGE-RAG incorporates strict knowledge boundary control, ensuring that generated responses remain grounded within available evidence and abstaining from unsupported information beyond the accessible knowledge scope. Experiments demonstrate that PAGE-RAG achieves competitive answer quality while improving retrieval efficiency and knowledge reliability, highlighting the importance of projection-aware graph modeling, adaptive retrieval, and explicit knowledge boundary control for trustworthy GraphRAG systems.

Xiaomi-Robotics-U0: Unified Embodied Synthesis with World Foundation Model

Recent foundation image and video generation models offer strong generalization and controllability, but their direct application to embodied scenarios is limited by requirements for multi-view consistency, geometric coherence, and robot embodiment constraints. Existing methods typically adapt foundation models with limited robot data, often sacrificing visual knowledge acquired during large-scale pre-training. We present Xiaomi-Robotics-U0, a 38-billion-parameter multimodal autoregressive model for unified embodied synthesis. It treats embodied generation as an extension of foundation image and video generation and jointly optimizes text-to-image generation, image editing, embodied scene generation, embodied transfer, and embodied video generation. This unified framework preserves the generalization of the pre-trained world foundation model while adapting it to embodied settings. Xiaomi-Robotics-U0 is the first model to support high-quality multi-view scene generation across multiple robot embodiments and to introduce structured, controllable embodied transfer for fine-grained editing while preserving multi-view consistency and interaction dynamics. It achieves state-of-the-art results on single-step and sequential generation tasks, outperforming GPT-Image-2.0 in human evaluations of embodied scene generation and transfer, ranking first on World Arena for embodied video generation, and improving the out-of-distribution success rate of pi_0.5 from 36.9% to 63.2% on challenging real-world manipulation tasks. These results show that foundation world models can serve both as embodied world models and scalable data engines for embodied intelligence.

Revisiting Embodied Chain-of-Thought for Generalizable Robot Manipulation

Embodied chain-of-thought (CoT) aims to bridge linguistic reasoning and robotic control, but its effective form and integration strategy remain underexplored. In this paper, we revisit embodied CoT for vision-language-action (VLA) models at large scale. We construct the largest embodied CoT corpus to date, comprising 978,743 trajectories, 226.3M samples, and 2592.5 hours of robot data. Through extensive experiments, we find that effective embodied CoT should ground high-level semantic understanding into concrete action guidance, such as end-effector movement descriptions and image-space trajectories, while high-level reasoning alone brings only marginal gains. We further show that explicit CoT does not scale reliably when used as an autoregressive action prefix, as it suffers from compounding inference errors and unstable reasoning-action coupling. To address these limitations, we propose ERVLA, a VLA model that uses embodied CoT as representation-shaping supervision rather than mandatory test-time reasoning. ERVLA is trained with a reasoning-dropout strategy, enabling the model to absorb rich reasoning traces during training while predicting actions directly without CoT decoding during inference. This design improves scalability with increasing pre-training data and avoids autoregressive instability. ERVLA achieves state-of-the-art performance on LIBERO-Plus with an 86.9% success rate and reaches 53.2% success rate on VLABench, demonstrating strong out-of-distribution generalization. In real-robot experiments, ERVLA further outperforms competitive state-of-the-art baselines, especially on tasks requiring semantic disambiguation and long-horizon execution.

Multi-View Video Diffusion Policy: A 3D Spatio-Temporal-Aware Video Action Model

Robotic manipulation requires understanding both the 3D spatial structure of the environment and its temporal evolution, yet most existing policies overlook one or both. They typically rely on 2D visual observations and backbones pretrained on static image--text pairs, resulting in high data requirements and limited understanding of environment dynamics. To address this, we introduce MV-VDP, a multi-view video diffusion policy that jointly models the 3D spatio-temporal state of the environment. The core idea is to simultaneously predict multi-view heatmap videos and RGB videos, which 1) align the representation format of video pretraining with action finetuning, and 2) specify not only what actions the robot should take, but also how the environment is expected to evolve in response to those actions. Extensive experiments show that MV-VDP enables data-efficient, robust, generalizable, and interpretable manipulation. With only ten demonstration trajectories and without additional pretraining, MV-VDP successfully performs complex real-world tasks, demonstrates strong robustness across a range of model hyperparameters, generalizes to out-of-distribution settings, and predicts realistic future videos. Experiments on Meta-World and real-world robotic platforms demonstrate that MV-VDP consistently outperforms video-prediction--based, 3D-based, and vision--language--action models, establishing a new state of the art in data-efficient multi-task manipulation.

Symbolic Graph Networks for Robust PDE Discovery from Noisy Sparse Data

Data-driven discovery of partial differential equations (PDEs) offers a promising paradigm for uncovering governing physical laws from observational data. However, in practical scenarios, measurements are often contaminated by noise and limited by sparse sampling, which poses significant challenges to existing approaches based on numerical differentiation or integral formulations. In this work, we propose a Symbolic Graph Network (SGN) framework for PDE discovery under noisy and sparse conditions. Instead of relying on local differential approximations, SGN leverages graph message passing to model spatial interactions, providing a non-local representation that is less sensitive to high frequency noise. Based on this representation, the learned latent features are further processed by a symbolic regression module to extract interpretable mathematical expressions. We evaluate the proposed method on several benchmark systems, including the wave equation, convection-diffusion equation, and incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. Experimental results show that SGN can recover meaningful governing relations or solution forms under varying noise levels, and demonstrates improved robustness compared to baseline methods in sparse and noisy settings. These results suggest that combining graph-based representations with symbolic regression provides a viable direction for robust data-driven discovery of physical laws from imperfect observations.

Diff-Muscle: Efficient Learning for Musculoskeletal Robotic Table Tennis

Musculoskeletal robots provide superior advantages in flexibility and dexterity, positioning them as a promising frontier towards embodied intelligence. However, current research is largely confined to relative simple tasks, restricting the exploration of their full potential in multi-segment coordination. Furthermore, efficient learning remains a challenge, primarily due to the high-dimensional action space and inherent overactuated structures. To address these challenges, we propose Diff-Muscle, a musculoskeletal robot control algorithm that leverages differential flatness to reformulate policy learning from the redundant muscle-activation space into a significantly lower-dimensional joint space. Furthermore, we utilize the highly dynamic robotic table tennis task to evaluate our algorithm. Specifically, we propose a hierarchical reinforcement learning framework that integrates a Kinematics-based Muscle Actuation Controller (K-MAC) with high-level trajectory planning, enabling a musculoskeletal robot to perform dexterous and precise rallies. Experimental results demonstrate that Diff-Muscle significantly outperforms state-of-the-art baselines in success rates while maintaining minimal muscle activation. Notably, the proposed framework successfully enables the musculoskeletal robots to achieve continuous rallies in a challenging dual-robot setting.

Benchmarking Semantic Segmentation Models via Appearance and Geometry Attribute Editing

Semantic segmentation takes pivotal roles in various applications such as autonomous driving and medical image analysis. When deploying segmentation models in practice, it is critical to test their behaviors in varied and complex scenes in advance. In this paper, we construct an automatic data generation pipeline Gen4Seg to stress-test semantic segmentation models by generating various challenging samples with different attribute changes. Beyond previous evaluation paradigms focusing solely on global weather and style transfer, we investigate variations in both appearance and geometry attributes at the object and image level. These include object color, material, size, position, as well as image-level variations such as weather and style. To achieve this, we propose to edit visual attributes of existing real images with precise control of structural information, empowered by diffusion models. In this way, the existing segmentation labels can be reused for the edited images, which greatly reduces the labor costs. Using our pipeline, we construct two new benchmarks, Pascal-EA and COCO-EA. We benchmark a wide variety of semantic segmentation models, spanning from closed-set models to open-vocabulary large models. We have several key findings: 1) advanced open-vocabulary models do not exhibit greater robustness compared to closed-set methods under geometric variations; 2) data augmentation techniques, such as CutOut and CutMix, are limited in enhancing robustness against appearance variations; 3) our pipeline can also be employed as a data augmentation tool and improve both in-distribution and out-of-distribution performances. Our work suggests the potential of generative models as effective tools for automatically analyzing segmentation models, and we hope our findings will assist practitioners and researchers in developing more robust and reliable segmentation models.

Xiaomi-Robotics-0: An Open-Sourced Vision-Language-Action Model with Real-Time Execution

In this report, we introduce Xiaomi-Robotics-0, an advanced vision-language-action (VLA) model optimized for high performance and fast and smooth real-time execution. The key to our method lies in a carefully designed training recipe and deployment strategy. Xiaomi-Robotics-0 is first pre-trained on large-scale cross-embodiment robot trajectories and vision-language data, endowing it with broad and generalizable action-generation capabilities while avoiding catastrophic forgetting of the visual-semantic knowledge of the underlying pre-trained VLM. During post-training, we propose several techniques for training the VLA model for asynchronous execution to address the inference latency during real-robot rollouts. During deployment, we carefully align the timesteps of consecutive predicted action chunks to ensure continuous and seamless real-time rollouts. We evaluate Xiaomi-Robotics-0 extensively in simulation benchmarks and on two challenging real-robot tasks that require precise and dexterous bimanual manipulation. Results show that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance across all simulation benchmarks. Moreover, Xiaomi-Robotics-0 can roll out fast and smoothly on real robots using a consumer-grade GPU, achieving high success rates and throughput on both real-robot tasks. To facilitate future research, code and model checkpoints are open-sourced at https://xiaomi-robotics-0.github.io
