Video2STL: Grounding VLM-Generated Temporal Specifications for Robot Learning
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.37519v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Video-based policy learning is particularly promising, as it illustrates target behaviors without requiring action annotations or embodiment-matched demonstrations. A central challenge is deciding what information should be transferred from the video to the robot. Existing approaches commonly convert visual observations into scalar similarity or value signals, or ask foundation models to directly generate reward code. These approaches can make the temporal structure of a task difficult to inspect, ground, and reuse. We present Video2STL, a fram
