RoboMemory: A Brain-inspired Multi-memory Agentic Framework for Interactive Environmental Learning in Physical Embodied Systems

Embodied intelligence aims to enable robots to learn, reason, and generalize robustly across complex real-world environments. However, existing approaches often struggle with partial observability, fragmented spatial reasoning, and inefficient integration of heterogeneous memories, limiting their capacity for long-horizon adaptation. To address this, we introduce RoboMemory, a brain-inspired framework that unifies Spatial, Temporal, Episodic, and Semantic memory within a parallelized architecture for efficient long-horizon planning and interactive learning. Its core innovations are a dynamic spatial knowledge graph for scalable, consistent memory updates and a closed-loop planner with a critic module for adaptive decision-making. Extensive experiments on EmbodiedBench show that RoboMemory, instantiated with Qwen2.5-VL-72B-Ins, improves the average success rate by 26.5% over its strong baseline and even surpasses the closed-source SOTA, Claude-3.5-Sonnet. Real-world trials further confirm its capability for cumulative learning, with performance consistently improving over repeated tasks. Our results position RoboMemory as a scalable foundation for memory-augmented embodied agents, bridging insights from cognitive neuroscience with practical robotic autonomy.

SVLL: Staged Vision-Language Learning for Physically Grounded Embodied Task Planning

Embodied task planning demands vision-language models to generate action sequences that are both visually grounded and causally coherent over time. However, existing training paradigms face a critical trade-off: joint end-to-end training often leads to premature temporal binding, while standard reinforcement learning methods suffer from optimization instability. To bridge this gap, we present Staged Vision-Language Learning (SVLL), a unified three-stage framework for robust, physically-grounded embodied planning. In the first two stages, SVLL decouples spatial grounding from temporal reasoning, establishing robust visual dependency before introducing sequential action history. In the final stage, we identify a key limitation of standard Direct Preference Optimization (DPO), its purely relative nature -- optimizing only the preference gap between winning and losing trajectories while neglecting absolute likelihood constraints on optimal path, often yields unsafe or hallucinated behaviors. To address this, we further introduce Bias-DPO, a novel alignment objective that injects an inductive bias toward expert trajectories by explicitly maximizing likelihood on ground-truth actions while penalizing overconfident hallucinations. By anchoring the policy to the expert manifold and mitigating causal misalignment, SVLL, powered by Bias-DPO, ensures strict adherence to environmental affordances and effectively suppresses physically impossible shortcuts. Finally, extensive experiments on the interactive AI2-THOR benchmark and real-world robotic deployments demonstrate that SVLL outperforms both state-of-the-art open-source (e.g., Qwen2.5-VL-7B) and closed-source models (e.g., GPT-4o, Gemini-2.0-flash) in task success rate, while significantly reducing physical constraint violations.

IdGlow: Dynamic Identity Modulation for Multi-Subject Generation

Multi-subject image generation requires seamlessly harmonizing multiple reference identities within a coherent scene. However, existing methods relying on rigid spatial masks or localized attention often struggle with the "stability-plasticity dilemma," particularly failing in tasks that require complex structural deformations, such as identity-preserving age transformation. To address this, we present IdGlow, a mask-free, progressive two-stage framework built upon Flow Matching diffusion models. In the supervised fine-tuning (SFT) stage, we introduce task-adaptive timestep scheduling aligned with diffusion generative dynamics: a linear decay schedule that progressively relaxes constraints for natural group composition, and a temporal gating mechanism that concentrates identity injection within a critical semantic window, successfully preserving adult facial semantics without overriding child-like anatomical structures. To resolve attribute leakage and semantic ambiguity without explicit layout inputs, we further integrate a badcase-driven Vision-Language Model (VLM) for precise, context-aware prompt synthesis. In the second stage, we design a Fine-Grained Group-Level Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) with a weighted margin formulation to simultaneously eliminate multi-subject artifacts, elevate texture harmony, and recalibrate identity fidelity towards real-world distributions. Extensive experiments on two challenging benchmarks -- direct multi-person fusion and age-transformed group generation -- demonstrate that IdGlow fundamentally mitigates the stability-plasticity conflict, achieving a superior Pareto balance between state-of-the-art facial fidelity and commercial-grade aesthetic quality.

Trustworthy and Fair SkinGPT-R1 for Democratizing Dermatological Reasoning across Diverse Ethnicities

The clinical translation of dermatological AI is hindered by opaque reasoning and systematic performance disparities across skin tones. Here we present SkinGPT-R1, a multimodal large language model that integrates chain-of-thought diagnostic reasoning with a fairness-aware mixture-of-experts architecture for interpretable and equitable skin disease diagnosis. Through parameter-efficient adaptation of a frozen reasoning backbone, SkinGPT-R1 generates structured diagnostic reports comprising visual findings, differential reasoning, and final diagnosis. Across seven external datasets spanning diverse pathologies and imaging conditions, SkinGPT-R1 achieves state-of-the-art accuracy on six benchmarks, including 82.50\% on a challenging 40-class long-tail classification task (+19.30\% over leading baselines). Blinded evaluation by five board-certified dermatologists on 1,000 phenotypically balanced cases yields a mean score of 3.6 out of 5, with the highest ratings in safety (3.8) and reasoning coherence (3.6), indicating that the generated rationales are clinically safe, logically grounded, and suitable for supporting diagnostic decision-making. Critically, SkinGPT-R1 mitigates algorithmic bias across the full Fitzpatrick spectrum, achieving a robust worst-group performance of 41.40\% on the Fitz17k benchmark and a five-fold relative improvement in lower-bound accuracy on the DDI dataset compared to standard multimodal baselines. These results establish a framework for trustworthy, fair, and explainable AI-assisted dermatological diagnosis.
