The paper introduces Embodied-Navigator, a framework for efficient embodied navigation. It integrates point-based goal selection, memory mechanisms, and alignment strategies to improve navigation performance. Experiments show that the trustor GPPO (Generalized Policy Proximal Optimization) becomes more reliable internally when no guidance is provided for learning the trustor reward, suggesting a novel training approach.
Hydra-0 introduces action flow, representing robot actions as pixel motion, enabling generalist world modeling and control across embodiments and tasks. It reduces robot-motion error by 90.4% and object-motion error by 60.2% over action-conditioned baselines, achieving r=0.96 on RoboLab. It supports zero-shot composition, data-efficient adaptation, and an emergent inverse mode for predicting robot motion from human demonstrations.
PixRestore, a VAE-free pixel-space Diffusion Transformer (DiT), performs unified image restoration (UIR) via flow matching on patchified pixels, preserving fine details. It uses LQ-HQ DINO feature similarity to fuse reliable layer features as conditioning and supervise less reliable layers for degradation removal. Trained from scratch on diverse degradations, it achieves state-of-the-art fidelity, perceptual quality, and robustness with ~50M parameters and single-step inference, scalable to larger variants. Code and benchmark: github.com/csslc/PixRestore.
Agent Desktop is a native Rust CLI for AI agents, providing structured access to apps via OS accessibility trees, avoiding screenshots and pixel matching. It offers 58 commands, progressive skeleton traversal (78–96% token reduction), snapshot/refs workflow, headless interactions, and JSON output. Supports Chromium via CDP. Install via npm or build from source.
Shinra Software unveiled Stillsun Ark, a sci-fi JRPG with 90s anime-inspired pixel art. Players control a shipwrecked crew and pirates forced to cooperate on a hostile planet. Parasites grant transformative abilities for combat. Built in Unity with Aseprite, no voice acting planned. Lead Pixel Artist: Arfu; Lead Animator: PixelTheWise.
