TL;DR

MachEmbodied-Brain (ME-Brain) is introduced, a self-evolving embodied system organized around a closed loop of action execution, experience acquisition, experience evolution, and improved execution that shifts embodied intelligence from train-and-freeze to deploy-and-evolve without model retraining.

Abstract

Current embodied systems largely rely on pretrained capabilities that remain fixed after deployment, limiting their ability to learn from physical interaction. We introduce MachEmbodied-Brain (ME-Brain), a self-evolving embodied system organized around a closed loop of action execution, experience acquisition, experience evolution, and improved execution. Evolvable Memory consolidates multimodal trajectories into hierarchical, reusable experience; Cognitive Core transforms physical experience into transferable skills; and the Action Model combines event-driven keyframes, EventCell local-world prediction, and action-conditioned memory modulation to focus computation on decision-critical moments, regions, and historical evidence. Together, these modules shift embodied intelligence from train-and-freeze to deploy-and-evolve without model retraining. Cognitive Core outperforms the strongest comparison models by 8.2 and 9.6 points on embodied and agent benchmarks. The Action Model achieves 47.88% mean success on RoboMME, a 3.26-point improvement over the strongest baseline. On RoboDojo, it reaches a 21.51 mean Score and 16.03% success rate, exceeding $\pi_{0.5}$ by 10.10 and 9.12 points. On the six-task ME-RealBench, ME-Brain achieves a 69.5 mean Score and 66.7% success rate, outperforming DM0.5 by 12.8 and 11.7 points, respectively.

EmbodiedMemory-Bench: Benchmarking Embodied Memory for Long-Horizon Embodied Tasks

Long-horizon embodied interaction requires agents to retain and continually update information about the environment as they observe, act, and encounter change. Yet current agents struggle to maintain such memory reliably. Our analysis traces this limitation to four key deficiencies: weak fine-grained visual memory, un...

Human-like memory empowers embodied robots for long-term object navigation

Effortless object finding by humans, even in cluttered or unseen environments, relies on the seamless integration of perception, memory, and contextual inference. In contrast, embodied robots operating under egocentric perception and partial observability frequently struggle with dynamic spatial relations and long-te...
