Publications
GeniWorld: A Generalizable Interactive World Model for Robotic Manipulation via Visual Actions
Chenghao Gu*, Hanyang Yu*, Jingbo Zhang, Haitao Lin, Wenyao Zhang, Jinghe Wang, Hanglei Jin, Shuzhao Xie, Jingyan Jiang, Zhi Wang
- GeniWorld converts robot actions into visual actions for controllable world modeling, enabling closed-loop interaction, robust generalization to unseen environments, and improved downstream policies.MaskWAM: Unifying Mask Prompting and Prediction for World-Action Models
Hanyang Yu, Haitao Lin, Jingbo Zhang, Wenyao Zhang, Chenghao Gu, Heng Li, Ping Tan
- We introduce MaskWAM, an object-centric world-action model that uses masks as both visual prompts and prediction targets to improve spatial grounding, robustness, and policy generalization.
PoseVLA: Universal Pose Pretraining for Generalizable Vision-Language-Action Policies
Haitao Lin*, Hanyang Yu*, Jingshun Huang*, He Zhang, Yonggen Ling, Ping Tan, Xiangyang Xue, Yanwei Fu
- PoseVLA decouples VLA training into universal pose pretraining and embodiment-specific post-training, learning transferable 3D spatial priors for efficient robot policy adaptation.
MatchingPolicy: Correspondence-Aware Policy Enables Cross-Object In-Context Learning
- MatchingPolicy decouples demonstration-to-scene matching from policy learning and conditions actions on dense semantic correspondences, enabling robust few-shot generalization across unseen objects and novel manipulation scenarios.
LM-Gaussian: Boost Sparse-view 3D Gaussian Splatting with Large Model Priors
Hanyang Yu, Xiaoxiao Long†, Ping Tan
- We aim to address sparse-view reconstruction of a 3D scene by leveraging priors from large-scale vision models.
WormTrack: Dataset and Benchmark for Multi-Object Tracking in Worm Crowds
Zhiyu Jin, Hanyang Yu, Chen Haul, Linxiang Wang, Qiu Shen, Xun Cao,
- We studies on the challenges and existing solutions for MOT in worm crowds by building a well-designed dataset!Selected Honors and Awards
