Robots should not care about your lighting.
Our paper on Domain-Invariant Latent Lookahead (DILL) was selected for a presentation at RSS 2026. VLA policies quietly learn visual shortcuts: change the camera angle, the background, or the light, and they execute the wrong task.
DILL teaches the policy to predict a domain-invariant future, not the pixels.
This is the work behind the promise: OpenMind builds robot experiences that stay reliable in the real world, where the lights, the layout, and the cameras never match the lab.
