New multimodal agent JoyInside-VLM-Agent enhances embodied robotics and smart hardware

Researchers have developed JoyInside-VLM-Agent, a ReAct-style multimodal agent designed for embodied agents in robotics and smart hardware. This agent utilizes product-conditioned trajectory construction and staged policy learning, incorporating a closed-loop sandbox for generating interaction trajectories that include goal revisions and failure recovery. The training process involves supervised fine-tuning, multi-teacher on-policy distillation, and reinforcement learning with a novel DPER method for evidence routing. JoyInside-VLM-Agent achieved a strong performance on the BFCL v4 benchmark and led on metrics for JoyInside-Devices and JoyInside-Robotics, demonstrating capabilities in visually grounded search and replanning.
