3D-Aware VLMs with Implicit and Explicit Geometries

Wenhao Li, Xueying Jiang, Quanhao Qian, Deli Zhao, Ran Xu, Shijian Lu, et al.

Despite rapid progress, most existing vision-language models (VLMs) built from 2D visual inputs often struggle when handling various 3D tasks that require fine-grained spatial understanding and reasoning. To bridge this gap, we present VLM-IE3D, a unified framework that enhances…

Look Less, Think Faster: Joint Token-Compute Adaptation for Multimodal LLMs

Pengcheng Wang, Zhiquan Wang, Jayoung Lee, Zhuoyan Xu, Ran Xu, Saurabh Bagchi, et al.

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have recently demonstrated strong performance across vision-language tasks. However, their high inference cost, arising from both the large number of input visual tokens and the heavy computation of the large language model (LLM), remains…

Evidence-Backed Video Question Answering

Shijie Wang, Honglu Zhou, Ziyang Wang, Ran Xu, Caiming Xiong, Silvio Savarese, et al.

Current Video Large Language Models (Video LLMs) excel in question answering (QA) but largely operate as black boxes, providing textual answers without verifiable visual grounding. Existing explainability efforts rely on textual rationales or sparse bounding boxes, which struggle…

GeoProp: Grounding Robot State in Vision for Generalist Manipulation

Guoyang Zhao, Quanhao Qian, Gongjie Zhang, Wenhao Li, Jiuniu Wang, Xiaowei Lu, et al.

Proprioception is fundamental to robotic manipulation, yet standard fusion methods often treat it as an isolated vector lacking explicit alignment with visual tokens. Without a direct correspondence between 3D kinematics and 2D feature maps, manipulation policies struggle to grou…

From Fixed to Free Cameras: Calibration-Free View-Robust Vision-Language-Action Model

Wenhao Li, Xueying Jiang, Quanhao Qian, Deli Zhao, Shijian Lu, Gongjie Zhang, et al.

Real-world robot deployment rarely maintains the training-stage camera setup, where cameras often experience repositioning or remounting depending on actual scenarios. Existing view-robust Vision-Language-Action (VLA) policies tolerate such camera variations only when the camera…
