Continuous Expert Assembly: Instance-Conditioned Low-Rank Residuals for All-in-One Image Restoration

Real-world image degradation is often unknown, spatially non-uniform, and compositional, requiring all-in-one restoration models to adapt a single set of weights to diverse local corruption patterns without test-time degradation labels. Existing methods typically modulate a shared backbone with global prompts or degradation descriptors, or route features through predefined expert pools. However, compact global conditioning can bottleneck localized degradation evidence, while static expert routing may produce homogeneous updates or rely on unstable sparse assignments. We propose \textbf{Continuous Expert Assembly} (CEA), a token-wise dynamic parameterization framework for all-in-one image restoration. CEA employs a lightweight \textbf{Cross-Attention Hyper-Adapter} to probe intermediate spatial features and synthesize instance-conditioned low-rank routing bases and residual directions. Each spatial token then assembles its own residual update via dense signed dot-product affinities over the generated rank-wise components, avoiding external prompts, static expert banks, and discrete Top- selection. The resulting assembly rule also admits a linear-attention perspective, making its dense token-wise routing behavior transparent. Experiments on AIO-3, AIO-5, and CDD-11 show that CEA improves average restoration quality over strong prompt-, descriptor-, and expert-based baselines, with the clearest gains on spatially varying and compositional degradations, while maintaining favorable parameter, FLOP, and runtime efficiency.

ABot-Claw: A Foundation for Persistent, Cooperative, and Self-Evolving Robotic Agents

Current embodied intelligent systems still face a substantial gap between high-level reasoning and low-level physical execution in open-world environments. Although Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models provide strong perception and intuitive responses, their open-loop nature limits long-horizon performance. Agents incorporating System 2 cognitive mechanisms improve planning, but usually operate in closed sandboxes with predefined toolkits and limited real-system control. OpenClaw provides a localized runtime with full system privileges, but lacks the embodied control architecture required for long-duration, multi-robot execution. We therefore propose ABot-Claw, an embodied extension of OpenClaw that integrates: 1) a unified embodiment interface with capability-driven scheduling for heterogeneous robot coordination; 2) a visual-centric cross-embodiment multimodal memory for persistent context retention and grounded retrieval; and 3) a critic-based closed-loop feedback mechanism with a generalist reward model for online progress evaluation, local correction, and replanning. With a decoupled architecture spanning the OpenClaw layer, shared service layer, and robot embodiment layer, ABot-Claw enables real-world interaction, closes the loop from natural language intent to physical action, and supports progressively self-evolving robotic agents in open, dynamic environments.

ABot-PhysWorld: Interactive World Foundation Model for Robotic Manipulation with Physics Alignment

Video-based world models offer a powerful paradigm for embodied simulation and planning, yet state-of-the-art models often generate physically implausible manipulations - such as object penetration and anti-gravity motion - due to training on generic visual data and likelihood-based objectives that ignore physical laws. We present ABot-PhysWorld, a 14B Diffusion Transformer model that generates visually realistic, physically plausible, and action-controllable videos. Built on a curated dataset of three million manipulation clips with physics-aware annotation, it uses a novel DPO-based post-training framework with decoupled discriminators to suppress unphysical behaviors while preserving visual quality. A parallel context block enables precise spatial action injection for cross-embodiment control. To better evaluate generalization, we introduce EZSbench, the first training-independent embodied zero-shot benchmark combining real and synthetic unseen robot-task-scene combinations. It employs a decoupled protocol to separately assess physical realism and action alignment. ABot-PhysWorld achieves new state-of-the-art performance on PBench and EZSbench, surpassing Veo 3.1 and Sora v2 Pro in physical plausibility and trajectory consistency. We will release EZSbench to promote standardized evaluation in embodied video generation.

HumanOmni-Speaker: Identifying Who said What and When

While Omni-modal Large Language Models have made strides in joint sensory processing, they fundamentally struggle with a cornerstone of human interaction: deciphering complex, multi-person conversational dynamics to accurately answer ``Who said what and when.'' Current models suffer from an ``illusion of competence'' -- they exploit visual biases in conventional benchmarks to bypass genuine cross-modal alignment, while relying on sparse, low-frame-rate visual sampling that destroys crucial high-frequency dynamics like lip movements. To shatter this illusion, we introduce Visual-Registered Speaker Diarization and Recognition (VR-SDR) and the HumanOmni-Speaker Benchmark. By strictly eliminating visual shortcuts, this rigorous paradigm demands true end-to-end spatio-temporal identity binding using only natural language queries. To overcome the underlying architectural perception gap, we propose HumanOmni-Speaker, powered by a Visual Delta Encoder. By sampling raw video at 25 fps and explicitly compressing inter-frame motion residuals into just 6 tokens per frame, it captures fine-grained visemes and speaker trajectories without triggering a catastrophic token explosion. Ultimately, HumanOmni-Speaker demonstrates strong multimodal synergy, natively enabling end-to-end lip-reading and high-precision spatial localization without intrusive cropping, and achieving superior performance across a wide spectrum of speaker-centric tasks.

Trajectory-Diversity-Driven Robust Vision-and-Language Navigation

Vision-and-Language Navigation (VLN) requires agents to navigate photo-realistic environments following natural language instructions. Current methods predominantly rely on imitation learning, which suffers from limited generalization and poor robustness to execution perturbations. We present NavGRPO, a reinforcement learning framework that learns goal-directed navigation policies through Group Relative Policy Optimization. By exploring diverse trajectories and optimizing via within-group performance comparisons, our method enables agents to distinguish effective strategies beyond expert paths without requiring additional value networks. Built on ScaleVLN, NavGRPO achieves superior robustness on R2R and REVERIE benchmarks with +3.0% and +1.71% SPL improvements in unseen environments. Under extreme early-stage perturbations, we demonstrate +14.89% SPL gain over the baseline, confirming that goal-directed RL training builds substantially more robust navigation policies. Code and models will be released.

Neural Implicit Action Fields: From Discrete Waypoints to Continuous Functions for Vision-Language-Action Models

Despite the rapid progress of Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models, the prevailing paradigm of predicting discrete waypoints remains fundamentally misaligned with the intrinsic continuity of physical motion. This discretization imposes rigid sampling rates, lacks high-order differentiability, and introduces quantization artifacts that hinder precise, compliant interaction. We propose Neural Implicit Action Fields (NIAF), a paradigm shift that reformulates action prediction from discrete waypoints to continuous action function regression. By utilizing an MLLM as a hierarchical spectral modulator over a learnable motion prior, NIAF synthesizes infinite-resolution trajectories as continuous-time manifolds. This formulation enables analytical differentiability, allowing for explicit supervision of velocity, acceleration, and jerk to ensure mathematical consistency and physical plausibility. Our approach achieves state-of-the-art results on CALVIN and LIBERO benchmarks across diverse backbones. Furthermore, real-world experiments demonstrate that NIAF enables stable impedance control, bridging the gap between high-level semantic understanding and low-level dynamic execution.

ReMoT: Reinforcement Learning with Motion Contrast Triplets

We present ReMoT, a unified training paradigm to systematically address the fundamental shortcomings of VLMs in spatio-temporal consistency -- a critical failure point in navigation, robotics, and autonomous driving. ReMoT integrates two core components: (1) A rule-based automatic framework that generates ReMoT-16K, a large-scale (16.5K triplets) motion-contrast dataset derived from video meta-annotations, surpassing costly manual or model-based generation. (2) Group Relative Policy Optimization, which we empirically validate yields optimal performance and data efficiency for learning this contrastive reasoning, far exceeding standard Supervised Fine-Tuning. We also construct the first benchmark for fine-grained motion contrast triplets to measure a VLM's discrimination of subtle motion attributes (e.g., opposing directions). The resulting model achieves state-of-the-art performance on our new benchmark and multiple standard VLM benchmarks, culminating in a remarkable 25.1% performance leap on spatio-temporal reasoning tasks.

ABot-M0: VLA Foundation Model for Robotic Manipulation with Action Manifold Learning

Building general-purpose embodied agents across diverse hardware remains a central challenge in robotics, often framed as the ''one-brain, many-forms'' paradigm. Progress is hindered by fragmented data, inconsistent representations, and misaligned training objectives. We present ABot-M0, a framework that builds a systematic data curation pipeline while jointly optimizing model architecture and training strategies, enabling end-to-end transformation of heterogeneous raw data into unified, efficient representations. From six public datasets, we clean, standardize, and balance samples to construct UniACT-dataset, a large-scale dataset with over 6 million trajectories and 9,500 hours of data, covering diverse robot morphologies and task scenarios. Unified pre-training improves knowledge transfer and generalization across platforms and tasks, supporting general-purpose embodied intelligence. To improve action prediction efficiency and stability, we propose the Action Manifold Hypothesis: effective robot actions lie not in the full high-dimensional space but on a low-dimensional, smooth manifold governed by physical laws and task constraints. Based on this, we introduce Action Manifold Learning (AML), which uses a DiT backbone to predict clean, continuous action sequences directly. This shifts learning from denoising to projection onto feasible manifolds, improving decoding speed and policy stability. ABot-M0 supports modular perception via a dual-stream mechanism that integrates VLM semantics with geometric priors and multi-view inputs from plug-and-play 3D modules such as VGGT and Qwen-Image-Edit, enhancing spatial understanding without modifying the backbone and mitigating standard VLM limitations in 3D reasoning. Experiments show components operate independently with additive benefits. We will release all code and pipelines for reproducibility and future research.

P2L-CA: An Effective Parameter Tuning Framework for Rehearsal-Free Multi-Label Class-Incremental Learning

Multi-label Class-Incremental Learning aims to continuously recognize novel categories in complex scenes where multiple objects co-occur. However, existing approaches often incur high computational costs due to full-parameter fine-tuning and substantial storage overhead from memory buffers, or they struggle to address feature confusion and domain discrepancies adequately. To overcome these limitations, we introduce P2L-CA, a parameter-efficient framework that integrates a Prompt-to-Label module with a Continuous Adapter module. The P2L module leverages class-specific prompts to disentangle multi-label representations while incorporating linguistic priors to enforce stable semantic-visual alignment. Meanwhile, the CA module employs lightweight adapters to mitigate domain gaps between pre-trained models and downstream tasks, thereby enhancing model plasticity. Extensive experiments across standard and challenging MLCIL settings on MS-COCO and PASCAL VOC show that P2L-CA not only achieves substantial improvements over state-of-the-art methods but also demonstrates strong generalization in CIL scenarios, all while requiring minimal trainable parameters and eliminating the need for memory buffers.

DD-Ranking: Rethinking the Evaluation of Dataset Distillation

In recent years, dataset distillation has provided a reliable solution for data compression, where models trained on the resulting smaller synthetic datasets achieve performance comparable to those trained on the original datasets. To further improve the performance of synthetic datasets, various training pipelines and optimization objectives have been proposed, greatly advancing the field of dataset distillation. Recent decoupled dataset distillation methods introduce soft labels and stronger data augmentation during the post-evaluation phase and scale dataset distillation up to larger datasets (e.g., ImageNet-1K). However, this raises a question: Is accuracy still a reliable metric to fairly evaluate dataset distillation methods? Our empirical findings suggest that the performance improvements of these methods often stem from additional techniques rather than the inherent quality of the images themselves, with even randomly sampled images achieving superior results. Such misaligned evaluation settings severely hinder the development of DD. Therefore, we propose DD-Ranking, a unified evaluation framework, along with new general evaluation metrics to uncover the true performance improvements achieved by different methods. By refocusing on the actual information enhancement of distilled datasets, DD-Ranking provides a more comprehensive and fair evaluation standard for future research advancements.
