   Push the Limits: Human‐Like Multimodal Extreme Embodied Intelligence for Autonomous Racing

   paper

   Embodied robot learning — abstract watchYanxin Zhou, Baichuan Lou, Wenhui Huang, Binbin Hu, Haohan Yang, Haochen Liu, Xiangkun He, Chee Kiong Ong, et al.October 22, 2026

   Autonomous racing serves as a platform for testing embodied intelligence under extreme control conditions. It requires systems to operate at the limits of speed, actuation, and decision‐making. Inspired by human multimodality, which is the ability to integrate sensory inputs, learn adaptively, and transfer knowledge across domains for holistic situational awareness and optimal performance, we present Apex, an embodied intelligent agent that is implemented on an autonomous super‐formula racing vehicle on the Abu Dhabi Yas Marina F1 circuit. Apex integrates physics‐informed neural network‐enhanc

   With the advent of Industry 5.0, human-robot collaborative assembly has become a core production paradigm that combines human cognitive flexibility with robotic operational efficiency. Single-robot systems cannot meet the diverse requirements of complex assembly tasks. Therefore, collaboration between human operators and heterogeneous multi-robot teams is required for flexible and efficient manufacturing. However, current collaborative systems are limited by fragmented perception-reasoning-execution pipelines. Poor generalization of general-purpose models in industrial environments is also obs

   Gradient-interlayer–based flexible pressure sensors for high-performance robotic perception

   paper

   Embodied robot learning — abstract watchMingyuan Sun, G L, Shuai Dong, Erlong Wang, Shi‐Yang Tang, Xuanhan Chen, Yipu Guo, Xiaoqin Sun, et al.October 23, 2026

   Tactile perception systems based on flexible pressure sensors are indispensable for humanoid robots to perform dexterous manipulation, compliant interaction, and operation in visually challenging environments. Although strategies relying on surface or spatial microstructure engineering have improved sensor performance, the long-standing trade-off among sensitivity, sensing range, and linearity continues to hinder their practical deployment. Inspired by the gradient distribution of mechanoreceptors in human fingertip skin, we report a gradient-interlayer–based flexible iontronic pressure sensor

   Artificial intelligence (AI), generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), large language models (LLMs), autonomous agents, robotics, and embodied intelligence are transforming the capabilities available to students, teachers, and educational institutions. These technologies can improve access to information, personalize instruction, automate routine tasks, and support educational creativity. However, they also introduce a broader class of risks that cannot be fully characterized by conventional cybersecurity, academic integrity, or educational technology frameworks.

   MARS: Systematic Multi-Level Acceleration for World Action Models

   paper

   Embodied robot learning — abstract watchZengyuan Zuo, Yongchang Zhang, Guangyu Zhao, Tianze Zhang, Biao Wu, Meng Fang, Yiwu ZhongOctober 12, 2026

   World Action Models (WAMs) have emerged as a promising alternative for embodied intelligence by jointly predicting future world states and robot actions. However, their heavy visual encoding and iterative generative inference incur substantial latency, limiting their applicability to high-frequency closed-loop control. Existing training-free acceleration methods typically optimize a single stage, yielding limited speedups or degraded control under aggressive reuse. In this work, we systematically profile the inference overhead of WAMs and observe abundant redundancy across Transformer computat

   Thinker-WM: A Unified World Model with Shared Multimodal Representations for Embodied Intelligence

   paper

   World models have emerged as a promising paradigm for embodied AI, yet existing systems often remain fragmented in the modalities they model and the functions they support. In particular, visual dynamics, geometric structure, and executable action are commonly coupled through separate interfaces or downstream modules rather than being jointly represented and evolved within a shared dynamics model. In this work, we present Thinker-WM, a unified multimodal world model that jointly models and generates RGB, metric depth, and robot action through a shared intermediate Unified Dynamics Transformer

    Agentic Embodied AI for Human–Robot Collaboration: Architectures, Technologies, and Future Directions

    paper

    Embodied robot learning — abstract watchZhihao LiuOctober 13, 2026

    Human-robot collaboration has relied on task models that are specified in advance for each product. Embodied foundation models and agentic artificial intelligence change this premise, because a robot can now interpret an open goal, plan, act, monitor the outcome and recover from failure. This review examines what that change means for collaboration. A critical narrative review was conducted over 231 sources. Embodied intelligence, agentic intelligence, autonomy and collaboration are distinguished, and four collaboration modes are defined by the roles of the human and the robot. Four system arc

    Tactile-Guided Robot Learning: From Representation Learning to Foundation Models

    paper

    Tactile sensing is becoming central to robust, adaptive, and dexterous robotic manipulation. Beyond its traditional role in contact detection and reactive control, touch is increasingly used to learn transferable representations, condition manipulation policies, and support embodied physical reasoning. Yet existing surveys largely emphasize tactile hardware and perception, leaving the rapid shift toward learning-based tactile manipulation insufficiently synthesized. This paper reviews tactile-guided skill learning from a learning-centric perspective, organized by the functional role of touch a

    GENERAL PREFACE THE NATURE OF THE SOUL An Interdisciplinary Philosophical Inquiry into Consciousness, Personhood, Identity, Agency, Meaning, and the Architecture of Becoming The question of the soul is among the oldest and most persistent questions in human intellectual history. Long before consciousness became an object of neuroscience, before psychology emerged as an independent discipline, before computation provided a language for information and artificial intelligence, human beings asked what makes a living person more than a collection of physical parts. What is the principle by which a
