    Gaode Releases First Full-Body Base Model λ0 Based on Open-World Behavior

    Gaode, under the Alibaba Group, officially released its first full-body base model λ0 based on open-world behavior. This model enables robots to learn full-body coordination, including movement, posture, and hand operations, solely through human action data, thus overcoming the limitations of 'local action learning.' In the SIMPLE simulation benchmark and multiple real-world evaluations, λ0 achieved state-of-the-art performance, with data collection efficiency approximately 3.4 times that of mainstream methods and a 22.5% increase in real-world task success rate compared to the strongest baseline.

    Memory before Goal: Role of Pre-History Memory for Humanoid Loco-Manipulation

    This paper presents WholeBodyMem, an object-guided perceptual memory system that retains pre-history information for humanoid loco-manipulation in dynamic environments. By using SAM3 to track task objects and causally selecting key frames within an adaptive budget, the action expert integrates these frames via cross-attention with object tokens encoding appearance, geometry, and time. The authors also release HuMeGo, a benchmark featuring six simulated and six real-world Unitree G1 tasks. WholeBodyMem improves success rates from 29.1% to 72.6% in simulation and from 36.7% to 88.3% on the real robot, while also enhancing performance on standard SIMPLE tasks from 70.2% to 86.9%.
