MIT's Center for Transportation and Logistics finds sustainability commitments are strong, but governance gaps and external disruptions prevent execution.
RMBench is introduced, a simulation benchmark comprising 9 manipulation tasks that span multiple levels of memory complexity, enabling systematic evaluation of policy memory capabilities and Mem-0, a modular manipulation policy with explicit memory components designed to support controlled ablation studies.

This work characterize models from this family of methods as JEPA-WMs and investigates the technical choices that make algorithms from this class work, and proposes a model that outperforms two established baselines, DINO-WM and V-JEPA-2-AC, in both navigation and manipulation tasks.

A novel vision-language model (VLM)-based navigation framework that addresses challenges by adaptively retrieving task-relevant cues from a global memory module and integrating them with the agent's egocentric observations and enhances spatial reasoning and decision-making in long-horizon tasks.
