Reinforcement Learning (RL) substantially improves planning performance in autonomous-driving Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models. However, existing RL methods rely on scalar trajectory rewards that measure overall quality but fail to identify specific planning errors or provide actionable correction signals. In long-t …
VGGT provides a strong foundation for geometry-centric world models by recovering unified 3D scene geometry from visual observations. Although recent extensions enable temporal 3D prediction, their future evolution remains weakly conditioned on driving intentions and actions, limiting their ability to model alternative …
Cooperative perception improves autonomous driving by sharing complementary observations among vehicles and roadside infrastructure for 3D object detection. However, practical deployment is constrained by limited bandwidth and unreliable cooperation, where packet loss, transmission delay, and spatial misalignment joint …
Embodied world models predict the visual consequences of candidate actions before execution. However, existing action-conditioned world models often adopt uniformly weighted visual generation objectives that can be misaligned with embodied prediction needs. Even with explicit motion conditioning, these objectives can u …
Joint embedding predictive architectures (JEPAs) predict future latent representations without reconstructing observations, enabling world models to focus on high-level semantic dynamics. However, a JEPA can preserve high dimensional visual information while discarding information about the physical consequences of act …
Embodied world models enable scalable simulation of embodied interactions for robot learning. However, existing models are prone to Model Laziness, as they focus on visual fidelity at the expense of physical reasoning and lack process-level supervision over the temporal dynamics of manipulated objects. In this work, we …
Latent world models offer a promising way to improve Vision-Language-Action policies by capturing the consequences of actions. However, models trained primarily on expert demonstrations have limited exposure to failure outcomes and may struggle to distinguish visually similar successful and failed interactions. We prop …
Long-horizon planning enables autonomous vehicles to anticipate scene evolution and potential risks, supporting safe and stable decisions in complex interactions. However, existing methods struggle to propagate motion trends from observed history into the future. Long rollouts based on a single latent state may further …
Multimodal 3D object detection is fundamental to robust perception in autonomous driving because it integrates complementary information from LiDAR and camera sensors. However, existing methods often fail to maintain robustness under out-of-distribution (OOD) corruptions caused by sensor noise, adverse weather, and env …
