POIL: Point-based One-Shot Imitation Learning with Stable Dynamical Systems

We present POIL, a point-based one-shot imitation learning framework with stable dynamical systems. While one-shot imitation avoids collecting extensive demonstrations, successful one-shot manipulation requires not only transferring a demonstrated trajectory to a novel object but also executing it robustly under changing scene conditions, grasp configurations, and external disturbances. POIL addresses both problems through a shared representation: a set of 3D points on the object's functional part, used jointly for trajectory transfer and closed-loop execution. The one-shot transfer from the demonstrated trajectory is enabled with point correspondences. POIL grounds the shared functional part with a multi-modal large language model, and transfers the trajectory across viewpoint, pose, and object category changes. During execution, multi-view tracking observes the same points online, and Point-set BCSDM drives them in closed loop by projecting per-point velocities onto a single rigid-body twist computed from the tracked points alone. This extends stable dynamical models from an SE(3) pose to a point set without requiring a known 3D model or pose estimator. We show that at the goal the controller becomes a gradient flow on the classical SO(3) potential, so its terminal phase inherits the almost-global convergence of that potential under a rigid-object assumption. Across simulation and real-robot experiments, POIL transfers a single demonstration across object category, grasp pose, and goal geometry, while recovering from external disturbances during execution.

AnyCamVLA: Zero-Shot Camera Adaptation for Viewpoint Robust Vision-Language-Action Models

Despite remarkable progress in Vision-Language-Action models (VLAs) for robot manipulation, these large pre-trained models require fine-tuning to be deployed in specific environments. These fine-tuned models are highly sensitive to camera viewpoint changes that frequently occur in unstructured environments. In this paper, we propose a zero-shot camera adaptation framework without additional demonstration data, policy fine-tuning, or architectural modification. Our key idea is to virtually adjust test-time camera observations to match the training camera configuration in real-time. For that, we use a recent feed-forward novel view synthesis model which outputs high-quality target view images, handling both extrinsic and intrinsic parameters. This plug-and-play approach preserves the pre-trained capabilities of VLAs and applies to any RGB-based policy. Through extensive experiments on the LIBERO benchmark, our method consistently outperforms baselines that use data augmentation for policy fine-tuning or additional 3D-aware features for visual input. We further validate that our approach constantly enhances viewpoint robustness in real-world robotic manipulation scenarios, including settings with varying camera extrinsics, intrinsics, and freely moving handheld cameras.

Point2Act: Efficient 3D Distillation of Multimodal LLMs for Zero-Shot Context-Aware Grasping

We propose Point2Act, which directly retrieves the 3D action point relevant to a contextually described task, leveraging Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs). Foundation models opened the possibility for generalist robots that can perform a zero-shot task following natural language descriptions within an unseen environment. While the semantics obtained from large-scale image and language datasets provide contextual understanding in 2D images, the rich yet nuanced features deduce blurry 2D regions and struggle to find precise 3D locations for actions. Our proposed 3D relevancy fields bypass the high-dimensional features and instead efficiently imbue lightweight 2D point-level guidance tailored to the task-specific action. The multi-view aggregation effectively compensates for misalignments due to geometric ambiguities, such as occlusion, or semantic uncertainties inherent in the language descriptions. The output region is highly localized, reasoning fine-grained 3D spatial context that can directly transfer to an explicit position for physical action at the on-the-fly reconstruction of the scene. Our full-stack pipeline, which includes capturing, MLLM querying, 3D reconstruction, and grasp pose extraction, generates spatially grounded responses in under 20 seconds, facilitating practical manipulation tasks.

I$^2$-SLAM: Inverting Imaging Process for Robust Photorealistic Dense SLAM

We present an inverse image-formation module that can enhance the robustness of existing visual SLAM pipelines for casually captured scenarios. Casual video captures often suffer from motion blur and varying appearances, which degrade the final quality of coherent 3D visual representation. We propose integrating the physical imaging into the SLAM system, which employs linear HDR radiance maps to collect measurements. Specifically, individual frames aggregate images of multiple poses along the camera trajectory to explain prevalent motion blur in hand-held videos. Additionally, we accommodate per-frame appearance variation by dedicating explicit variables for image formation steps, namely white balance, exposure time, and camera response function. Through joint optimization of additional variables, the SLAM pipeline produces high-quality images with more accurate trajectories. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our approach can be incorporated into recent visual SLAM pipelines using various scene representations, such as neural radiance fields or Gaussian splatting.
