Embodied-R1.5: Evolving Physical Intelligence via Embodied Foundation Models

We introduce Embodied-R1.5, a unified Embodied Foundation Model (EFM) that integrates comprehensive embodied reasoning capabilities, spanning embodied cognition, task planning, correction, and pointing, within a single architecture toward general physical intelligence. Leveraging three automated data construction pipelines to significantly expand the data coverage of critical capabilities, we build a large-scale data system of over 15B tokens, and design a multi-task balanced RL recipe to alleviate heterogeneous task conflicts. We further introduce a Planner-Grounder-Corrector (PGC) closed-loop framework that enables a single model to autonomously execute and self-correct over long-horizon tasks. With only 8B parameters, Embodied-R1.5 achieves SOTA on 16 out of 24 embodied VLM benchmarks, surpassing leading models like Gemini-Robotics-ER-1.5 and GPT-5.4. Benefiting from the internalized embodied capabilities, Embodied-R1.5 can be fine-tuned into a VLA with only a small amount of data, outperforming leading VLA models like $\pi_{0.5}$ across 4 popular manipulation benchmark suites. We further conduct extensive zero-shot real-robot experiments, validating performance in instruction following, affordance grounding, articulated object manipulation, and long-horizon complex tasks, demonstrating strong generalization to the physical world. We open-source model weights, datasets, training code, and EmbodiedEvalKit, an evaluation framework tailored for embodied tasks, to facilitate future research in EFMs.

Self-doping effect in confined copper selenide semiconducting quantum dots for efficient photoelectrocatalytic oxygen evolution

Self-doping can not only suppress the photogenerated charge recombination of semiconducting quantum dots by self-introducing trapping states within the bandgap, but also provide high-density catalytic active sites as the consequence of abundant non-saturated bonds associated with the defects. Here, we successfully prepared semiconducting copper selenide (CuSe) confined quantum dots with abundant vacancies and systematically investigated their photoelectrochemical characteristics. Photoluminescence characterizations reveal that the presence of vacancies reduces the emission intensity dramatically, indicating a low recombination rate of photogenerated charge carriers due to the self-introduced trapping states within the bandgap. In addition, the ultra-low charge transfer resistance measured by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy implies the efficient charge transfer of CuSe semiconducting quantum dots-based photoelectrocatalysts, which is guaranteed by the high conductivity of their confined structure as revealed by room-temperature electrical transport measurements. Such high conductivity and low photogenerated charge carriers recombination rate, combined with high-density active sites and confined structure, guaranteeing the remarkable photoelectrocatalytic performance and stability as manifested by photoelectrocatalysis characterizations. This work promotes the development of semiconducting quantum dots-based photoelectrocatalysis and demonstrates CuSe semiconducting quantum confined catalysts as an advanced photoelectrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction.
