ODYSSEY: Open-World Quadrupeds Exploration and Manipulation for Long-Horizon Tasks
Language-guided long-horizon mobile manipulation has long been a grand challenge in embodied semantic reasoning, generalizable manipulation, and adaptive locomotion. Three fundamental limitations hinder progress: First, although large language models have improved spatial reasoning and task planning through semantic priors, existing implementations remain confined to tabletop scenarios, failing to address the constrained perception and limited actuation ranges of mobile platforms. Second, curre…

Already, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act places Trump and the Republicans at odds with their base and with swing voters.
According to a Wall Street Journal poll, 70% of the US believes the act benefits the rich.
Beyond that, the tax plan is underwater with the public, 42-52,
and is disfavored by a majority of independents.
Practically speaking, the Congressional Budget Office projected in June that nearly 8 million people would lose their insurance under the Trump-ba…

Neutron emission following nuclear muon capture on palladium isotopes
The energy spectra of the neutrons emitted following nuclear muon capture on palladium isotopes ($A=104$, 105, 106, 108, and 110) were measured using isotopically enriched target. \item[Method] The experiment was performed at the MuSIC-M1 beamline at the Research Center for Nuclear Physics (RCNP), Osaka University. The neutrons and $γ$ rays were detected with twenty-one liquid scintillators and BaF$_2$ detectors. The time-of-flight method was used to determine the neutron energy. \item[Results…

Odyssey: Empowering Minecraft Agents with Open-World Skills
Recent studies have delved into constructing generalist agents for open-world environments like Minecraft. Despite the encouraging results, existing efforts mainly focus on solving basic programmatic tasks, e.g., material collection and tool-crafting following the Minecraft tech-tree, treating the ObtainDiamond task as the ultimate goal. This limitation stems from the narrowly defined set of actions available to agents, requiring them to learn effective long-horizon strategies from scratch. Con…
