German AI robotics start-up Agile Robots said Thursday that a new funding round valued the company at $8.5 billion (7.7 billion euros), providing additional firepower for a global expansion. The funding would be used to support expansion in the United States,
Hyperbolic vision-language models (VLMs) represent image and text features in a geometry naturally suited to hierarchy, but their adaptation to downstream tasks has largely relied on fixed prompts. Existing prompt learning methods, meanwhile, treat class labels as a flat set…
Deploying language-conditioned manipulation without a dedicated GPU requires efficient inference and action chunks that cover the delay between policy queries. We present vla.simd, a CPU inference engine that combines shared SIMD micro-kernels, reusable computation, and…
Unsupervised anomaly detection (UAD) aims to localize abnormal regions in medical scans without pixel-level annotations. A typical strategy seeks to reconstruct a pseudo-healthy image that preserves subject-specific anatomy. Recently, diffusion models have been proposed to…
