CapVector: Learning Transferable Capability Vectors in Parametric Space for Vision-Language-Action Models

This paper proposes a novel approach to address the challenge that pretrained VLA models often fail to effectively improve performance and reduce adaptation costs during standard supervised finetuning (SFT). Some advanced finetuning methods with auxiliary training objectives can improve performance and reduce the number of convergence steps. However, they typically incur significant computational overhead due to the additional losses from auxiliary objectives. To simultaneously achieve the enhanced capabilities of auxiliary training with the simplicity of standard SFT, we decouple the two objectives of auxiliary-objective SFT within the parameter space, namely, enhancing general capabilities and fitting task-specific action distributions. To deliver the goal, we only need to train the model to converge on a small-scale task set using two distinct training strategies, resulting in two finetuned models. The parameters' difference between the two models can then be interpreted as capability vectors provided by auxiliary objectives. These vectors are then merged with pretrained parameters to form a capability-enhanced meta model. Moreover, when standard SFT is augmented with a lightweight orthogonal regularization loss, the merged model attains performance comparable to auxiliary finetuned baselines with reduced computational overhead. Internal and external experiments demonstrate that our capability vectors (1) are effective and versatile across diverse models, (2) can generalize to novel environments and embodiments out of the box.

CUBic: Coordinated Unified Bimanual Perception and Control Framework

Recent advances in visuomotor policy learning have enabled robots to perform control directly from visual inputs. Yet, extending such end-to-end learning from single-arm to bimanual manipulation remains challenging due to the need for both independent perception and coordinated interaction between arms. Existing methods typically favor one side -- either decoupling the two arms to avoid interference or enforcing strong cross-arm coupling for coordination -- thus lacking a unified treatment. We propose CUBic, a Coordinated and Unified framework for Bimanual perception and control that reformulates bimanual coordination as a unified perceptual modeling problem. CUBic learns a shared tokenized representation bridging perception and control, where independence and coordination emerge intrinsically from structure rather than from hand-crafted coupling. Our approach integrates three components: unidirectional perception aggregation, bidirectional perception coordination through two codebooks with shared mapping, and a unified perception-to-control diffusion policy. Extensive experiments on the RoboTwin benchmark show that CUBic consistently surpasses standard baselines, achieving marked improvements in coordination accuracy and task success rates over state-of-the-art visuomotor baselines.

An Attractor-Guided Neural Networks for Skeleton-Based Human Motion Prediction

Joint relation modeling is a curial component in human motion prediction. Most existing methods tend to design skeletal-based graphs to build the relations among joints, where local interactions between joint pairs are well learned. However, the global coordination of all joints, which reflects human motion's balance property, is usually weakened because it is learned from part to whole progressively and asynchronously. Thus, the final predicted motions are sometimes unnatural. To tackle this issue, we learn a medium, called balance attractor (BA), from the spatiotemporal features of motion to characterize the global motion features, which is subsequently used to build new joint relations. Through the BA, all joints are related synchronously, and thus the global coordination of all joints can be better learned. Based on the BA, we propose our framework, referred to Attractor-Guided Neural Network, mainly including Attractor-Based Joint Relation Extractor (AJRE) and Multi-timescale Dynamics Extractor (MTDE). The AJRE mainly includes Global Coordination Extractor (GCE) and Local Interaction Extractor (LIE). The former presents the global coordination of all joints, and the latter encodes local interactions between joint pairs. The MTDE is designed to extract dynamic information from raw position information for effective prediction. Extensive experiments show that the proposed framework outperforms state-of-the-art methods in both short and long-term predictions in H3.6M, CMU-Mocap, and 3DPW.

TrajectoryNet: a new spatio-temporal feature learning network for human motion prediction

Human motion prediction is an increasingly interesting topic in computer vision and robotics. In this paper, we propose a new 2D CNN based network, TrajectoryNet, to predict future poses in the trajectory space. Compared with most existing methods, our model focuses on modeling the motion dynamics with coupled spatio-temporal features, local-global spatial features and global temporal co-occurrence features of the previous pose sequence. Specifically, the coupled spatio-temporal features describe the spatial and temporal structure information hidden in the natural human motion sequence, which can be mined by covering the space and time dimensions of the input pose sequence with the convolutional filters. The local-global spatial features that encode different correlations of different joints of the human body (e.g. strong correlations between joints of one limb, weak correlations between joints of different limbs) are captured hierarchically by enlarging the receptive field layer by layer and residual connections from the lower layers to the deeper layers in our proposed convolutional network. And the global temporal co-occurrence features represent the co-occurrence relationship that different subsequences in a complex motion sequence are appeared simultaneously, which can be obtained automatically with our proposed TrajectoryNet by reorganizing the temporal information as the depth dimension of the input tensor. Finally, future poses are approximated based on the captured motion dynamics features. Extensive experiments show that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance on three challenging benchmarks (e.g. Human3.6M, G3D, and FNTU), which demonstrates the effectiveness of our proposed method. The code will be available if the paper is accepted.
