New AI models advance robot manipulation with improved memory and planning

Researchers have developed new methods for robot manipulation that improve performance in long-horizon tasks. The 2AM system separates task memory from the action model, allowing for more precise control and achieving a 61.5-point improvement over existing baselines on the LIBERO-Mem dataset. DUET-DINO, another advancement, uses simultaneous cross-view world modeling to enhance latent planning for full 7-DoF end-effector control, outperforming single-view models with up to 92% success on reach tasks. GE-Act 2.0 focuses on pretraining and scaling world-action models from scratch, demonstrating significant success rate increases with more training data and showing strong zero-shot generalization.
