TRAIL was represented by Theodor's findings poster at this year's CVPR in Denver, Colorado.

The paper "Grounding Hierarchical Vision-Language-Action Models Through Explicit Language-Action Alignment" addresses a persistent challenge in robot learning: how to align the chain-of-thought reasoning of a hierarchical VLA with physical actions.
