Brick-Composer: Using MLLMs for Assembly with Diverse Bricks

Researchers introduce Brick-Composer, a learning framework that enhances multimodal large language models (MLLMs) with physical assembly capabilities through targeted training on brick construction tasks. The study reveals current MLLMs lack reliable spatial reasoning and fine-grained object recognition needed for real-world assembly, but demonstrates that structured learning approaches can improve performance significantly.

Probing Collision Grounding in Vision-Language Models for Safe Human-Robot Collaboration

Researchers introduce TouchSafeBench, a physics-grounded benchmark for evaluating how well vision-language models can detect robot collisions with humans and objects. Testing three frontier VLMs reveals critical safety gaps, with best performance below 50% accuracy, exposing that visual fluency in AI models does not guarantee physical safety accountability in real-world human-robot collaboration scenarios.
