Implicit Drifting Policy: One-Step Action Generation via Conditional Expert Geometry

Generative action policies based on diffusion or flow matching excel in behavior cloning, yet their iterative sampling is prohibitive for high-frequency robot control. While recent one-step formulations alleviate this latency, they inevitably discard the intermediate trajectory evolution that provides crucial action correction. Directly recovering this mechanism by explicitly estimating a training-time drifting field is mathematically ill-posed due to extreme conditional demonstration sparsity. We introduce Implicit Drifting Policy (IDP), a one-step imitation learning framework that brings the training-time correction of Drifting into policy learning without explicit vector field estimation. IDP extracts a conditional expert geometry from the local variation of observation-similar expert actions, and compares it against a global reference geometry to isolate condition-specific constraints. This local geometric structure adaptively weights a scalar potential objective. Combined with an expert-proximal terminal evaluation, IDP directly enforces manifold constraints on the one-step generator during training. Extensive evaluations across 2D, 3D, and real-world manipulation tasks show IDP effectively maintains adherence to valid action manifolds, improving upon explicit drifting methods and achieving competitive performance with strong one-step baselines.

BORA: Bridging Offline Reinforcement Learning and Online Residual Adaptation for Real-World Dexterous VLA Models

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have emerged as a promising paradigm for grounding visual-language understanding into real-world robotic manipulation. However, dexterous manipulation remains challenging for VLA policies due to high-dimensional hand control and compounding execution errors, which makes real-world RL post-training essential for bridging the gap between visually grounded action generation and physically reliable dexterous execution. However, high-dimensional dexterous exploration often triggers temporal inconsistency, sample inefficiency and hardware risks in the real world. To address these challenges, we propose BORA, an offline-to-online RL post-training framework designed for real-world dexterous VLA models. In the offline phase, BORA constructs a critic that takes both the VLM's cognition tokens and action chunks as inputs. This design enables action-conditioned value guidance, allowing the critic to evaluate dexterous hand motions beyond visual context alone. During the subsequent online phase, BORA freezes the VLA base and introduces a lightweight, Human-in-the-Loop (HiL) chunk-wise residual adaptation mechanism to mitigate real-world execution errors and further correct the offline-learned intents within the actual physical environment. By inheriting the offline critic and employing intervention-driven rewards, BORA effectively corrects execution discrepancies and adapts to real-world physical variances while preserving the pretrained policy as a stable prior. Extensive evaluations across five complex real-world dexterous tasks demonstrate that BORA significantly outperforms pure imitation learning and traditional decoupled RL baselines, achieving a 33% absolute increase in average success rate under standard settings and up to a 43% improvement in unseen object generalization.

HyperSim: A Holistic Sim-To-Real Framework For Robust Robotic Manipulation

Scaling data volume and diversity is critical for generalizing embodied intelligence. While synthetic data generation offers a scalable alternative to expensive physical data acquisition, transferring robotic manipulation policies from simulation to the real world (sim-to-real) remains a formidable challenge due to the domain gap. This paper presents HyperSim, a holistic framework spanning from synthetic data generation to policy training and seamless real-world deployment. To systematically bridge the sim-to-real gap, HyperSim is realized through three core pillars: high-fidelity environment synthesis, adversarial trajectory generation, and sim-and-real co-training. Collectively, these modules address domain discrepancies by enhancing visual fidelity, expanding data coverage, and enforcing domain-invariant representations. We rigorously validate HyperSim through a large-scale empirical study involving 400 real-world task executions across two representative manipulation models. Assessed across three fine-grained metrics, our complete pipeline achieves remarkable sim-to-real success rates of 80% and 95% with ACT and π_{0}, respectively. Furthermore, policies trained on our adversarial trajectories exhibit significantly enhanced robustness against dynamic uncertainties, achieving a 35% higher completion rate under physical perturbations.

$π_0$-EqM: Equilibrium Matching for Closed-Loop Vision-Language-Action Control

Currently, Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have become the most adopted paradigm for robotic manipulation for its great potential for task generalization. While most generative flow-matching action decoders for VLA control are often deployed with fixed sampling horizons, limiting state-dependent compute and temporal reuse across control cycles. We present $π_0$-EqM, which replaces the flow-matching expert in $π_0$ with an Equilibrium Matching (EqM) decoder while leaving the upstream VLA stack unchanged. Under a matched 300-step budget, $π_0$-EqM improves RoboTwin average success from 40.4% to 50.2% across 19 tasks and remains competitive on LIBERO, with its clearest gain on LIBERO-10 (87.0%). Two threshold scans reveal a task-dependent non-monotonic relation between residual and success, which we term the stationarity--executability gap. The results suggest that inference depth in iterative VLA control is part of policy design and introduce an energy-based VLA perspective that may inform future work on composable action generation across tasks and embodiments.

Dexora: Open-source VLA for High-DoF Bimanual Dexterity

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have recently become a central direction in embodied AI, but current systems are restricted to either dual-gripper control or single-arm dexterous hand manipulation. While low-dimensional gripper control can often be handled with simpler methods, high-dimensional dexterous hand control benefits greatly from full end-to-end VLA learning. In this work, we introduce Dexora, the first open-source VLA system that natively targets dual-arm, dual-hand high-DoF manipulation. We design a hybrid teleoperation pipeline that decouples gross arm kinematics (captured with a custom exoskeleton backpack) from fine finger motion (markerless hand tracking via Apple Vision Pro), and that drives both a physical dual-arm dual-hand platform and an identical MuJoCo digital twin. Using that interface, we assemble a large training corpus: an embodiment-matched synthetic corpus (100K simulated trajectories, 6.5M frames) and a real-world dataset of 10K teleoperated episodes (2.92M frames). To mitigate noisy teleoperation demonstrations, we propose a data-quality-aware training recipe: an offline discriminator provides clip-level weights for diffusion-transformer policy training, down-weighting low-quality demonstrations. Empirically, Dexora outperforms competitive VLA baselines on both basic and dexterous benchmarks (e.g., average dexterous success 66.7% vs. 51.7%), attains 90% success on basic tasks, and shows robust out-of-distribution and cross-embodiment generalization. Ablations confirm the importance of real data and the discriminator for dexterity.

PhysForge: Generating Physics-Grounded 3D Assets for Interactive Virtual World

Synthesizing physics-grounded 3D assets is a critical bottleneck for interactive virtual worlds and embodied AI. Existing methods predominantly focus on static geometry, overlooking the functional properties essential for interaction. We propose that interactive asset generation must be rooted in functional logic and hierarchical physics. To bridge this gap, we introduce PhysForge, a decoupled two-stage framework supported by PhysDB, a large-scale dataset of 150,000 assets with four-tier physical annotations. First, a VLM acts as a "physical architect" to plan a "Hierarchical Physical Blueprint" defining material, functional, and kinematic constraints. Second, a physics-grounded diffusion model realizes this blueprint by synthesizing high-fidelity geometry alongside precise kinematic parameters via a novel KineVoxel Injection (KVI) mechanism. Experiments demonstrate that PhysForge produces functionally plausible, simulation-ready assets, providing a robust data engine for interactive 3D content and embodied agents.

HiVLA: A Visual-Grounded-Centric Hierarchical Embodied Manipulation System

While end-to-end Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models offer a promising paradigm for robotic manipulation, fine-tuning them on narrow control data often compromises the profound reasoning capabilities inherited from their base Vision-Language Models (VLMs). To resolve this fundamental trade-off, we propose HiVLA, a visual-grounded-centric hierarchical framework that explicitly decouples high-level semantic planning from low-level motor control. In high-level part, a VLM planner first performs task decomposition and visual grounding to generate structured plans, comprising a subtask instruction and a precise target bounding box. Then, to translate this plan into physical actions, we introduce a flow-matching Diffusion Transformer (DiT) action expert in low-level part equipped with a novel cascaded cross-attention mechanism. This design sequentially fuses global context, high-resolution object-centric crops and skill semantics, enabling the DiT to focus purely on robust execution. Our decoupled architecture preserves the VLM's zero-shot reasoning while allowing independent improvement of both components. Extensive experiments in simulation and the real world demonstrate that HiVLA significantly outperforms state-of-the-art end-to-end baselines, particularly excelling in long-horizon skill composition and the fine-grained manipulation of small objects in cluttered scenes.

Rein3D: Reinforced 3D Indoor Scene Generation with Panoramic Video Diffusion Models

The growing demand for Embodied AI and VR applications has highlighted the need for synthesizing high-quality 3D indoor scenes from sparse inputs. However, existing approaches struggle to infer massive amounts of missing geometry in large unseen areas while maintaining global consistency, often producing locally plausible but globally inconsistent reconstructions. We present Rein3D, a framework that reconstructs full 360-degree indoor environments by coupling explicit 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) with temporally coherent priors from video diffusion models. Our approach follows a "restore-and-refine" paradigm: we employ a radial exploration strategy to render imperfect panoramic videos along trajectories starting from the origin, effectively uncovering occluded regions from a coarse 3DGS initialization. These sequences are restored by a panoramic video-to-video diffusion model and further enhanced via video super-resolution to synthesize high-fidelity geometry and textures. Finally, these refined videos serve as pseudo-ground truths to update the global 3D Gaussian field. To support this task, we construct PanoV2V-15K, a dataset of over 15K paired clean and degraded panoramic videos for diffusion-based scene restoration. Experiments demonstrate that Rein3D produces photorealistic and globally consistent 3D scenes and significantly improves long-range camera exploration compared with existing baselines.

From Perception to Planning: Evolving Ego-Centric Task-Oriented Spatiotemporal Reasoning via Curriculum Learning

Modern vision-language models achieve strong performance in static perception, but remain limited in the complex spatiotemporal reasoning required for embodied, egocentric tasks. A major source of failure is their reliance on temporal priors learned from passive video data, which often leads to spatiotemporal hallucinations and poor generalization in dynamic environments. To address this, we present EgoTSR, a curriculum-based framework for learning task-oriented spatiotemporal reasoning. EgoTSR is built on the premise that embodied reasoning should evolve from explicit spatial understanding to internalized task-state assessment and finally to long-horizon planning. To support this paradigm, we construct EgoTSR-Data, a large-scale dataset comprising 46 million samples organized into three stages: Chain-of-Thought (CoT) supervision, weakly supervised tagging, and long-horizon sequences. Extensive experiments demonstrate that EgoTSR effectively eliminates chronological biases, achieving 92.4% accuracy on long-horizon logical reasoning tasks while maintaining high fine-grained perceptual precision, significantly outperforming existing open-source and closed-source state-of-the-art models.

JailWAM: Jailbreaking World Action Models in Robot Control

The World Action Model (WAM) can jointly predict future world states and actions, exhibiting stronger physical manipulation capabilities compared with traditional models. Such powerful physical interaction ability is a double-edged sword: if safety is ignored, it will directly threaten personal safety, property security and environmental safety. However, existing research pays extremely limited attention to the critical security gap: the vulnerability of WAM to jailbreak attacks. To fill this gap, we define the Three-Level Safety Classification Framework to systematically quantify the safety of robotic arm motions. Furthermore, we propose JailWAM, the first dedicated jailbreak attack and evaluation framework for WAM, which consists of three core components: (1) Visual-Trajectory Mapping, which unifies heterogeneous action spaces into visual trajectory representations and enables cross-architectural unified evaluation; (2) Risk Discriminator, which serves as a high-recall screening tool that optimizes the efficiency-accuracy trade-off when identifying destructive behaviors in visual trajectories; (3) Dual-Path Verification Strategy, which first conducts rapid coarse screening via a single-image-based video-action generation module, and then performs efficient and comprehensive verification through full closed-loop physical simulation. In addition, we construct JailWAM-Bench, a benchmark for comprehensively evaluating the safety alignment performance of WAM under jailbreak attacks. Experiments in RoboTwin simulation environment demonstrate that the proposed framework efficiently exposes physical vulnerabilities, achieving an 84.2% attack success rate on the state-of-the-art LingBot-VA. Meanwhile, robust defense mechanisms can be constructed based on JailWAM, providing an effective technical solution for designing safe and reliable robot control systems.
