Test-time scaling empowers Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) to tackle complex tasks via extensive Chain-of-Thought (CoT). However, this often induces the "overthinking" paradox, where redundant reasoning increases computational overhead without guaranteeing accuracy. Existing test-t…
LiDAR-based collaborative 3D perception in Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) systems typically relies on fusing bird's-eye-view (BEV) features across agents. However, current BEV representations, typically extracted by LiDAR backbones trained from scratch, are geometry-dominated and la…
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have become a promising paradigm for generalist robot manipulation, where visual-language representations are used to condition continuous action generation. However, these representations are not explicitly optimized for action conditioning, l…
While modern video diffusion models excel in visual fidelity, maintaining long-range physical consistency remains a formidable challenge. Conventional pixel-reconstruction objectives mainly focus on appearance details and often fail to capture the underlying dynamics of a scene.…
Laboratory automation has made remarkable progress through robotic platforms and AI-driven scientific reasoning. However, many laboratory operations (e.g., solid--solid transfer) remain inherently dynamic and require real-time adaptation to different materials and experimental co…
