Recursive self-improvement requires carrying accepted changes into later improvement cycles, while studying agent-proposed changes also requires substantial research infrastructure. Existing settings often leave agents to rebuild routine infrastructure or restrict exploration to individual components. We introduce RSIG …

General-purpose agents increasingly write code, use tools, and complete complex digital tasks, raising the question of how far these capabilities carry into the physical world. To investigate this, we introduce RobotWorld, a challenging simulation testbed for robot use: turning instructions and observations into physic …

COLMAP-free 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) bypasses computationally expensive structure-from-motion (SfM) pipelines, yet progressive camera pose tracking remains fundamentally vulnerable to error compounding---early pairwise tracking inaccuracies both corrupt subsequent frame initializations and remain permanently frozen …

Robust point tracking in endoscopic videos is essential for computer-assisted intervention and autonomous robotic surgery, enabling continuous registration between intraoperative video and preoperative imaging despite soft tissue deformation. However, supervised tracking methods depend on large annotated datasets, whil …
