It's been a busy few months with our VinUniversity students and VinRobotics residents. We have new preprints on VLA fine-tuning, equivariance, noise selection, and inference, plus payload-robust locomotion and whole-body compliance. I'm lucky to work with this team! Thank you all for the care and effort behind these papers! The papers are below.
