Labs are matched from each entry's affiliation field by simple name rules (data/labs.yaml); joint work appears under every lab named. Only curated entries are listed, because daily arXiv papers carry no affiliations.机构由每个条目的机构字段按名称规则匹配（data/labs.yaml），合作工作会出现在所有署名机构下。仅列出精选条目，因为每日 arXiv 论文不含机构信息。
Continual off-policy RL for VLAs — small actor/critic networks carry over between tasks, distilled on a few kept episodes to avoid forgetting; reports 31–68.5% less real-robot time on new assembly tasks.面向 VLA 的持续离策略强化学习：轻量 actor/critic 在任务间延续，用少量保留的旧任务轨迹做蒸馏以防遗忘。论文报告新的接触式装配任务所需真机训练时间减少 31–68.5%，旧任务几乎不遗忘。

FRED trains a world action model to predict better one-step future video features via self-distillation plus history context; reports large gains on long-horizon, out-of-domain and human-video-only tasks.FRED 通过自蒸馏并引入历史观测，让世界动作模型在单步去噪中预测出更好的未来视频表征；报告在长时程、域外环境以及只有人类视频示范的任务上提升明显。

LAPA pretrains a VLA without action labels: it learns discrete latent actions between video frames, predicts them from image + text, then maps them to robot actions; reports beating OpenVLA on real tasks.LAPA 无需动作标注即可预训练 VLA：先从视频相邻帧间学习离散隐动作，再训练模型由图像和指令预测隐动作，最后用少量机器人数据映射到真实动作；报告在真机任务上优于 OpenVLA。
