Bolei Zhou ✈️ CoRL'26

🤖 Excited to share Cue the Flow, our paper to be presented at #CoRL2026 @corl_conf, led by Haoxuan.

We steer frozen flow-matching VLAs with lightweight spatial cues for open-world delivery manipulation, achieving up to 2× task success with negligible overhead!

Looking forward to seeing everyone in Austin tomorrow!

🚀 Excited that SidewalkBench will be presented as a Spotlight Paper at the upcoming @corl_conf #CoRL2026 by Zhizheng!

🤖 A scalable simulation benchmark for safe sidewalk robot navigation, featuring diverse urban environments and dynamic pedestrians.

A great collaboration with @CocoRobotics. Thanks to the NVIDIA Academic Grant Program #NVIDIAGrant and @NVIDIAAIDev for hardware support.

💻 Code is available at vail.cs.ucla.edu/SidewalkBench/

🚀 Excited to share FlowPilot, our latest work on preference-based learning for autonomous sidewalk navigation, to be presented at CoRL'26 @corl_conf

Instead of relying solely on expert demonstrations, FlowPilot learns from human preferences to develop navigation policies that better align with human expectations in complex urban environments.

🤖 Looking forward to the presentation and discussion in Austin next week!

Work led by incredible Honglin He, and thanks to @CocoRobotics for the robot hardware and data support!

♿ Excited to introduce ChairNav, our latest research toward long-horizon autonomous wheelchair navigation!

🤖 We explore how vision-based navigation foundation models can enable intelligent navigation in complex real-world sidewalk environments. A step toward physical AI that truly empowers people!
