Muninn won the Outstanding Student Paper Award at #RSS 2026!! Huge thank you to my collaborators and advisors, this work would not exist without them! And to the #RSS community for the recognition and for organizing such an awesome conference! We have also open-sourced the core

We are presenting Muninn at RSS 2026, and we're incredibly honored that it has been selected as a finalist for both the Outstanding Paper & Outstanding Student Paper awards! #RSS2026 TL;DR: diffusion planners generate great robot trajectories, but nobody wants 100 denoiser calls

Super insightful read. The ablations are the real gem here. The harness matters way more than I expected, and the right one makes action space and prompt details way less of a big deal. + RoboLab is the best sim eval out there rn 🤖

Can and should a general-purpose model serve as a robot policy? In Astranomy, we study GPT-6 Astra for general pick-and-place manipulation. Astra sets a new SOTA on RoboLab-120, but real-time robot control remains an open challenge. Full tech report: research.nvidia.com/labs/srl/proje…

Today we are introducing ARC, a reasoning recipe for robot foundation models that sets a new state of the art on RoboLab-120 and MolmoSpaces. The prevailing way to improve robot foundation models is brute force: larger models, more robot demonstrations, costly training at scale.

Students sometimes ask me if it still makes sense, in this accelerating age, to pursue a PhD in AI. Perhaps counterintuitively, I think it's a great time to do so. I wrote up some thoughts on this here: web.mit.edu/phillipi/www/w…

Paper accepted at #CoRL2026!! We study how language perturbations propagate through closed-loop VLA control and uncover a new attack! Work done in collaboration with: @Vardhan_Dongre , @pthangeda_ , Hooshang Nayyeri, @dilekhakkanitur , Melkior Ornik TL;DR: we introduce a new
