    CLAP: Cross-Embodiment Video World Models are Zero-Shot Physical Simulators

    Kechen Liu, Ola Shorinwa

    cs.RO · cs.AI · cs.CV

    State-of-the-art action-conditioned video models are typically restricted to a single robot embodiment, preventing them from leveraging the vast corpus of heterogeneous video data that contains rich signals for learning generalizable physics. To bridge this gap, we introduce CLAP, a framework for cross-embodiment action-conditioned video generation capable of being trained on diverse, internet-scale videos across human and robotic agents....

    STEP: State-Aware Task Estimation and Planning with Multi-Modal LLMs for Human-Robot Collaboration

    Maitrey Gramopadhye, Prakash Baskaran, Xiao Liu, Songpo Li, Soshi Iba

    cs.RO · cs.AI

    Effective human-robot collaboration in industrial settings requires robots to understand human intentions and assist with task planning, reducing workload. Recent works have explored the use of Multi-modal Large Language Models (MM-LLMs) for task planning in such data-scarce scenarios, leveraging in-context learning to interpret user actions and generate long-horizon action plans in natural language. However, MM-LLMs inherently lack an...

    Active sensing to characterize the heterogeneity of plant stress

    Ayman Laaroussi, Peter Hanappe, David Colliaux

    cs.RO · cs.AI

    While most phenotyping platforms rely primarily on image-based measurements, advanced plant characterization requires the integration of active physiological sensing modali- ties such as chlorophyll fluorescence. We present an autonomous robotic platform designed to perform targeted fluorescence measurements on plant leaves. The system combines 3D plant reconstruction, geometric analysis, and motion planning to localize suitable measurement...
