DSReg: Provably Recovering Individual World Latents without Reconstruction

DSReg (Dependency-Sparsity Regularization) recovers individual world latents up to signed permutation, without reconstruction or a decoder, without reconstruction or a decoder, and establishes the first fully identifiable JEPA that recovers every world latent.

Kuration SDK: Addressing the Virtual2Real Gap via Data Curation

Benchmarks for measuring the quality of action-conditioned world models are still evolving and shifting away from visual similarity-based metrics to action-semantic and physically-grounded metrics. However, for domain and task-agnostic action-conditioned world model training, existing benchmarks provide a limited signa...

LeCuration: A Tiny World Model as a Data Curation Multi-Tool

This paper trains LeCuration, a small world model intended to serve as a data curation tool for a separate, larger downstream model, and finds that the embeddings of this model can be used as an anomaly detection signal and as a content-based clustering heuristic, and that auto-regressively predicting the game state wi...

An Informational Curse of Horizon in Goal-Conditioned Policy Learning

This work identifies an additional informational curse of horizon in goal-conditioned policy learning, where increasing the goal relabeling horizon can significantly reduce policy generalization and performance, and finds that distilling the input Jacobians of short-horizon policies into long-horizon policies yields si...

MimicX: Policy-in-the-Loop Supervision Refinement for Video-Driven Humanoid Motion Tracking

Human videos provide rich motion targets for humanoid learning, yet visually plausible references can still produce persistent failures under physics-based execution. These failures reveal where training supervision should change. We present MimicX, a policy-in-the-loop framework that uses execution feedback to refine...

PhysEvo: Astra Can Act, Let It

Astra can act, yet reliable manipulation depends on the system through which it observes and controls the world. We introduce PhysEvo, a framework for physical recursive self-improvement (RSI) around a single frozen model. A task agent executes robot tasks; a meta-agent uses the resulting trajectories to diagnose failu...

LASER: Latent Space Adjoint Matching for Support-Constrained Entropy-Regularized Offline RL

While offline reinforcement learning (RL) enables policy optimization from static datasets without costly online interaction, it remains bottlenecked by the risk of executing out-of-distribution (OOD) actions. Recent approaches mitigate this by learning a behavior-cloning policy through flow matching and then performin...

Toward Evidence-Driven Human-Agent-Robot Teaming for Earth-Independent Anomaly Triage

Deep-space crews cannot rely on real-time ground support for urgent off-nominal events. Initial alerts may underdetermine cause, while discriminating evidence may reside in crew observations or at locations that are unsafe, costly, or unavailable for crew inspection. We present an evidence-driven architecture for human...

Taming an End-to-End Autonomous Driving Policy for Urban Navigation of Quadruped Robots

We present Go2-DrivoR, a goal-conditioned adaptation of the end-to-end autonomous driving trajectory planning framework DrivoR for urban navigation with quadrupedal robots. By conditioning trajectory generation on a local-frame subgoal through a goal token and adapting the vehicle-centric scoring formulation, the metho...

RoboJEPA: Scaling Robotic Latent World Models

Latent world models have shown a remarkable ability to predict future states and to plan in the real world. In practice, however, we lack a principled way to estimate how their capabilities scale with model size, data, and compute, an open problem that slows progress in the field. In this work we present RoboJEPA, a wo...

MeshSIPP: Efficient Lattice Planning in Dynamic Environment

Autonomous navigation in dynamic environments requires computing spatiotemporal trajectories that satisfy non-holonomic motion constraints. When the trajectories of the moving obstacles are predictable or known, a promising approach is to rely on the combination of state lattices constructed from precomputed feasible m...

Learning Situation-Conditioned Thinking Policies for Long-Term LLM Agents

Long-running autonomous agents must reuse accumulated reasoning experience without allowing explicit historical memory and LLM context to grow indefinitely. However, existing memory mechanisms mainly retrieve, summarize, or compress past content and do not directly learn when particular kinds of thinking should be acti...

Offloaded inference for real-world physical AI robotics

Robots are getting smarter, but how can their hardware match that growth? New Microsoft Research findings show that moving AI inference beyond the robot can improve task success, boost efficiency, and support more advanced physical AI workloads. The post Offloaded inference for real-world physical AI robotics appeared first on Microsoft Research.
