Sensorimotor World Models for Action-Aligned Perception

A new sensorimotor world model (SMWM) learns compact, action-relevant latent representations from offline trajectories. It uses inverse dynamics regularization to prevent representation collapse and align latent states with controllable environmental degrees of freedom, enabling stable training without complex regularizers or frozen components. SMWM achieves competitive planning performance in 2D and 3D control tasks.

Dual-Agent Framework for Cross-Model Verified Translation

A dual-agent framework converts natural-language experiment protocols into executable commands for robotic lab platforms. It uses a Parser Agent and a rule-based mapping engine to translate protocols, with a heterogeneous LLM Validation Agent ensuring accuracy and triggering self-correction. The framework successfully enables end-to-end autonomous execution of microplate-based experiments like the Bradford assay.

ScaffoldAgent: Utility-Guided Dynamic Outline Optimization

ScaffoldAgent introduces a utility-guided framework for dynamic outline optimization in open-ended deep research. It models outline evolution through Expansion, Contraction, and Revision operations, guided by a feedback mechanism that evaluates retrieval gain, structural coherence, and generation quality. Experiments show it improves long-form report generation and factual grounding compared to existing agents.

ScholarQuest: Taxonomy-Guided Benchmark for Agentic Academic Search

ScholarQuest is a large-scale benchmark for agentic academic paper search, built from 1,000 computer science topics and four research intents. It includes scalable answer construction and a shared retrieval backend, ScholarBase, enabling reproducible evaluation. Results show agentic methods outperform baseline retrieval, with the best agent achieving 0.314 Recall@100 and 0.355 Recall@All, indicating significant room for improvement.
