OmniGuide is a general, unified, and flexible framework for leveraging non-robotic foundation models such as 3D reconstruction, VLM, and hand tracking models to enhance generalist robot policies (VLAs). We model the 3D space as attractive and repulsive fields to steer generalist robot policies (Pi05, GR00T) with minimal latencies.

We introduce Maestro, a coding VLM agent that composes iverse robotics-related tool modules into programmatic policies. Maestro makes use of modules such as perception, geometry, control, policies, and image editing to deliver a high-performant, and interpretable policy across robot embodiments.

CVPR, 2026

( website (coming soon), )

We improved upon Pixie in two ways: (1) controllable generation via flow-matching allowing prediction of soft-to-stiff distribution of plausible materials, and (2) unified architecture for generating simulation-ready parameters for multiple physics solver including Material Point Method (MPM), Linear Blend Skinning (LBS), and Spring-Mass Systems.

Pixie: Physics from Pixels

( website, twitter, paper, code )

We predict 3D physics from distilled CLIP features, enabling generalization and fast inference across scenes. Pixie produces physics that are 1.5–4.4× more realistic while running 10³× faster.

Articulate Anything

( website, twitter, paper, code )

A major bottleneck in scaling robot learning in simulation is the lack of interactable 3D environments. We present a SOTA method, leveraging VLMs to automatically generate articulated 3D models from any input modality including text, real-world images, or videos.

Distributed Continual Learning

Long Le, Marcel Hussing, and Eric Eaton

Preprint, 2024

(paper)

We study the intersection of continual and federated learning, in which independent agents face unique tasks. We develop the mathematical formulation for the setting, develop algorithms for sharing data, model weights, and modules, and provide extensive empirical results across network bandwidths, and topology.
