Adapting step-distilled text-to-image (T2I) models through post-training incurs additional computational costs and affects native few-step generation behavior. This motivates a complementary route beyond style-specific adaptation: drawing on the visual knowledge already encoded in step-distilled T2I models to elicit st …
Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) remain vulnerable to transferable adversarial examples, especially in black-box settings where only open-source surrogate models are accessible. Existing targeted transfer attacks mainly align adversarial and target samples using global image-level features, such as encoder [CLS …
Robotic manipulation policies are advancing rapidly with increasing reliance on vision-language models for end-to-end decision making. However, reliable deployment remains challenging because many policies lack explicit mechanisms for predicting task outcomes and evaluating whether generated actions will achieve desire …
Humanoid parkour policies can traverse various terrains, but task completion may mask challenges of harsh landings, edge contacts, and unstable stance contacts. Humans naturally regulate foot-terrain interaction through tactile feedback, modulating contact compliance according to terrain stiffness. This highlights a ke …
While recent advances in perceptive locomotion have enabled humanoid robots to traverse structured terrains, agile parkour in highly discontinuous environments remains an open challenge. In particular, crossing sparse footholds and narrow support regions requires precise foothold selection, effective use of visual obse …
Humanoid soccer contact skills require more than producing high-impact foot-ball contacts: the robot must close the loop over perception, approach, alignment, impact, and recovery while its own motion induces substantial viewpoint changes, frequent loss of the ball from view, and uncertain contact outcomes. In this wor …
Interactive segmentation of 3D medical images supports quantitative analysis of anatomical structures and disease while allowing users to specify and refine their targets. Despite substantial progress by nnInteractive and VISTA3D, reliable segmentation across diverse clinical targets remains challenging, particularly f …
Large language models can report a numerical confidence together with generated content, but it is unclear whether this report is more than calibrated rhetoric. We analyze three training-free signals: confidence verbalized with the answer, post-hoc $P(\mathrm{True})$, and agreement with three additional generations on …
Vision-Language-Action models and World-Action Models have advanced language-conditioned robotic manipulation, yet often leave metric relations among actions, objects, and scene geometry implicit. Human manipulation combines semantic understanding of task-relevant objects with spatial feedback that guides hand motion r …
