• Abstract: With the continuous breakthroughs in core technology, the dawn of large-scale integration of robotic systems into daily human life is on the horizon. Multi-robot systems (MRS) built on this foundation are undergoing drastic evolution. The fusion of artificial intelligence technology with robot hardware is seeing broad application possibilities for MRS. This article surveys the state-of-the-art of robot learning in the context of Multi-Robot Cooperation (MRC) of recent. Commonly adopted robot learning methods (or frameworks) that are inspired by humans and animals are reviewed and their advantages and disadvantages are discussed along with the associated technical challenges. The potential trends of robot learning and MRS integration exploiting the merging of these methods with real-world applications is also discussed at length. Specifically statistical methods are used to quantitatively corroborate the ideas elaborated in the article.

  We propose a novel flow matching architecture built on top of a pre-trained vision-language model (VLM) to inherit Internet-scale semantic knowledge. We evaluate our model in terms of its ability to perform tasks in zero shot after pre-training, follow language instructions from people, and its ability to acquire new skills via fine-tuning.

• Commonsense Reasoning for Legged Robot Adaptation with Vision-Language Models [81.55156507635286]
  Legged robots are physically capable of navigating a diverse variety of environments and overcoming a wide range of obstructions. Current learning methods often struggle with generalization to the long tail of unexpected situations without heavy human supervision. We propose a system, VLM-Predictive Control (VLM-PC), combining two key components that we find to be crucial for eliciting on-the-fly, adaptive behavior selection.
