GigaBrain-WBC-0.5: A Behavior World Model for Robust Whole-Body Control with Environment Interaction

arXiv:2608.18234v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Whole-body motion tracking policies turn a humanoid into a robust control interface: the teleoperator---or an upstream model---only supplies a coarse movement intent, while the low-level policy keeps the robot balanced and physically feasible. Existing trackers deliver this interface only on flat ground: trained in empty scenes, they never learn how contact with terrain and objects reshapes their dynamics, and they attempt to teach the policy to balance under any command by continually enlarging the reference-motion corpus, which stops working once feasible behaviors become environment-dependent. We present GigaBrain-WBC-0.5, the first Behavior World Model (BWM) for humanoid whole-body control. Rather than a purely reactive tracker, we train a causal Transformer to jointly predict its next action, next state, and the distribution over its next latent behavior command, so the network that acts also models how the environment shapes what it can do next. An automatic terrain-annotation pipeline recovers full 3D contact geometry from retargeted motion, enabling terrain annotation at the scale of existing motion datasets. The predicted distribution is reused at deployment to detect implausible commands online and retract them onto learned behaviors, so the robot attempts tasks in a "best-effort" manner. The result is a unified policy that takes real-time command, interacts with environment, and stays robust to implausible commands, falls, and disturbances. GigaBrain-WBC-0.5 achieves the highest success rate across all four regimes among three large-scale tracker baselines: 81.3% on terrain interaction (4.3x the strongest baseline), 83.1% under implausible commands, and 99.3% fall recovery (16.8x the strongest baseline). Hardware trials show robust interaction under missing supports and disturbances; the Unitree G1 checkpoint transfers to the Maker L01 robot with simple fine-tuning.

DisDop: Distillation with Domain Priors for Open-Vocabulary Aerial Object Detection

arXiv:2605.24639v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: With the widespread application of drones in recent years, object detection of aerial images has attracted increasing attention, especially open-vocabulary aerial detection which is not restricted to predefined categories. Due to the scarcity of drone's viewpoint images and their significant differences from natural images, it is difficult to achieve satisfying results by directly applying vanilla open-vocabulary detection methods designed for natural scenarios. Some studies propose to transfer knowledge from pre-trained models by using lightweight networks or generating pseudo labels, but they tend to rely on models trained on natural images, neglecting the potential of foundation models specifically tailored for remote sensing and aerial imagery. To address this limitation, we propose DisDop, a unified framework that systematically distills multi-level domain priors from remote sensing foundation models (e.g., RemoteCLIP and DINOv3) into a lightweight detector. Specifically, we first distill visual priors through a teacher fusion strategy that combines RemoteCLIP's cross-modal alignment capability with DINOv3's fine-grained local feature extraction ability, transferring their complementary strengths to the detector's backbone. Second, we distill textual priors embedded in RemoteCLIP's text encoder by explicitly modeling inter-category semantic relationships, while incorporating global contextual priors to enhance local feature representation for small objects. Through this multi-level prior distillation framework, our DisDop achieves new state-of-the-art performance on open-vocabulary aerial detection benchmarks. Extensive ablation analysis also demonstrates the rationality and effectiveness of our proposed modules.

Attention at Rest Stays at Rest: Breaking Visual Inertia for Cognitive Hallucination Mitigation

arXiv:2604.01989v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Like a body at rest that stays at rest, we find that visual attention in multimodal large language models (MLLMs) exhibits pronounced inertia, remaining largely static once settled during early decoding steps and failing to support the compositional understanding required for cognitive inference. While existing hallucination mitigation methods mainly target perceptual hallucinations concerning object existence or attributes, they remain inadequate for such cognitive hallucinations that require inter-object relational deduction. Through token-wise attention analysis, we identify this visual inertia as a key factor: attention to semantically critical regions remains persistently focused and fails to dynamically support relational inference. We thereby propose a training-free Inertia-aware Visual Excitation (IVE) method that breaks this inertial pattern by modeling cognitive inference as the dynamic responsiveness of visual attention. Specifically, IVE selects visual tokens that are dynamically emerging relative to historical attention trends while distinguishing tokens exhibiting inertial behavior. To further facilitate compositional inference, IVE introduces an inertia-aware penalty that discourages over-concentration and limits the persistence of attention within localized regions. Extensive experiments show that IVE is effective across various base MLLMs and multiple hallucination benchmarks, particularly for cognitive hallucinations.

Streaming 4D Visual Geometry Transformer

arXiv:2507.11539v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Perceiving and reconstructing 3D geometry from videos is a fundamental yet challenging computer vision task. To facilitate interactive and low-latency applications, we propose a streaming visual geometry transformer that shares a similar philosophy with autoregressive large language models. We explore a simple and efficient design and employ a causal transformer architecture to process the input sequence in an online manner. We use temporal causal attention and cache the historical keys and values as implicit memory to enable efficient streaming long-term 3D reconstruction. This design can handle low-latency 3D reconstruction by incrementally integrating historical information while maintaining high-quality spatial consistency. For efficient training, we propose to distill knowledge from the dense bidirectional visual geometry grounded transformer (VGGT) to our causal model. For inference, our model supports the migration of optimized efficient attention operators (e.g., FlashAttention) from large language models. Extensive experiments on various 3D geometry perception benchmarks demonstrate that our model enhances inference speed in online scenarios while maintaining competitive performance, thereby facilitating scalable and interactive 3D vision systems.
