We’ve developed a memory system for our models that provides both short-term visual memory and long-term semantic memory. Our approach allows us to train robots to perform long and complex tasks, like cleaning up a kitchen or preparing a grilled cheese sandwich from scratch 👇

NVIDIA researchers present SONIC, a generalist humanoid controller: It scales motion tracking on a single policy to achieve natural, robust whole-body movement. The scalable foundation avoids manual reward engineering and features a universal token space and kinematic planner to seamlessly integrate diverse inputs, including VR/video teleoperation and VLA foundation models, for real-world tasks.

Excited to introduce SOLE-R1, a video-language reasoning model for zero-shot reward prediction for robot manipulation tasks! SOLE-R1 reasoning can serve as the SOLE signal for learning new tasks (completely from scratch) through online RL - i.e., robots start with random actions and learn previously unseen tasks guided only by SOLE-R1 rewards, without any demonstrations, ground-truth rewards, success indicators, or task-specific tuning. SOLE-R1 significantly outperforms strong baselines (e.g., Robometer, RoboReward, TOPReward, GPT-5, Gemini-3-Pro) in zero-shot online RL when evaluated across 40 tasks - including a real-world tabletop manipulation setting and 4 sim environments (LIBERO, ManiSkill, Meta-World, RoboSuite). We open source all models, training data, and code. Website, demos, and paper at: 🧵 (1/6)

The first open-source unified world model for scalable robot manipulation: 5B-parameter open-source unified video-action world model that combines policy and world modeling to generate robot actions, predict future visuals, and evaluate task progress from observations, language, and state. The model is trained on 27.3K hours of heterogeneous data (17.8K real-robot teleop, 6.5K UMI demos, 3K egocentric human videos), enabling it to perform complex manipulation tasks like faucet connecting, bag packing, and toolbox storing as shown in demo videos. The approach supports test-time action refinement and points toward deployment-driven continuous improvement via fleet data.

Introducing Light-O1, a whole-body intelligence model scaled through human action pretraining. • Human action at scale: We learn from structured human actions recovered from internet videos, capturing a scale and diversity that robot data collection alone struggles to match. • Cross-embodiment transfer scaling law: Scaling human action pretraining yields power-law reductions in prediction error across embodiments. • Whole-body intelligence: Adapted to different humanoids, Light-O1 coordinates movement, posture, and manipulation to autonomously perform household tasks.

Many tasks cannot be completed by one robot alone. But coordinating multiple robots performing complex manipulation tasks is very difficult. Many solutions rely on complicated centralized control, which tends towards bespoke methods that do not scale well with team size. Enter CHORUS by Ria Doshi, Jeannette Bohg, and team. They train a single VLA to control multiple, diverse robots, given only local observations and identifying information. This allows robots to collaborate on tasks like using a tape measure, handing over a book, or lifting a laundry basket. To learn more, watch Episode #93 of Robopapers now, with Michael Cho - Rbt/Acc, Jiafei Duan, and Chris Paxton!

Not the flashiest demos, but what’s under the hood represents a foundational shift for general-purpose robotics. World models are the next-gen foundation of Physical AI, not the VLM backbones found in typical VLAs. DreamZero is a 14B-parameter World Action Model (WAM) by NVIDIA that treats robotics as a joint video-and-action prediction task. Unlike traditional Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models that map images directly to motor commands, DreamZero leverages a pretrained video diffusion backbone to predict future world states and actions simultaneously. - achieves 2× better zero-shot generalization to unseen tasks and environments compared to state-of-the-art VLAs. - learns effectively from heterogeneous, non-repetitive data (500 hours), breaking the need for thousands of repeated demonstrations. - adapts to new robot embodiments with just 30 minutes of play data. - enables 7Hz closed-loop control via system optimizations and "DreamZero-Flash," making high-capacity diffusion models viable for real-time use.

Spatial understanding is important to moving around in complex environments and is a huge part of the challenge of generalizing to new scenes. Most world models, however, largely ignore this spatial dimension, focusing on 2D images. Not PointWorld, though. PointWorld is a 3D world model trained from real and simulated data which can perform a wide variety of manipulation tasks on a real robot, including grasping or handling articulated objects, all without any additional fine tuning. Wenlong Huang joins us to tell us more about what makes this work and how it’s different from other world models. Watch Episode #83 of RoboPapers, with Chris Paxton and Jiafei Duan, to learn more!

Learn to train an LLM with distributed data while ensuring privacy using federated learning in a new two-part short course, Intro to Federated Learning and Federated Fine-tuning of LLMs with Private Data, created with Flower and taught by Daniel J. Beutel and Nicholas Lane. Federated learning allows a single model to be trained across multiple devices, such as phones, or multiple organizations, such as hospitals, without the need to share data to a central server. This two-part course gives you an introduction to federated learning, and then teaches you how to fine-tune your large language model with distributed data using Flower Lab’s open source federated learning framework. You’ll learn: - How to use federated learning to train a variety of models, ranging from speech and vision models to LLMs, across distributed data while offering data privacy options to users and organizations. - Privacy Enhancing Technologies like differential privacy (DP), which obscures individual data by adding calibrated noise to query results. - Two variants of differential privacy - Central and Local - and how to choose depending on your use case. - How to measure and decrease bandwidth usage to make federated learning more practical and efficient with techniques like using pre-trained models and Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning - How federated LLM fine-tuning reduces the risk of leaking training data.
