Robotic manipulation policies rely on pre-trained vision models that give either a global scene embedding or a dense patch grid. Both mix task-relevant and task-irrelevant features. Object-centric slot representations are a structured alternative: they group features into a few p…
Imitation learning has enabled remarkable progress in robotic manipulation, especially with diffusion and flow-based policies that generate complex visuomotor behaviors directly from demonstrations. Yet, despite their strong performance, these policies often fail to generalize ac…
Autonomous navigation in unknown environments requires a robot to efficiently reach a predefined goal while exploring without prior maps. Although progress has been made in this area, most existing works still rely on traditional planning methods with hand-crafted rules, while le…
