Computer-Use Agents Function as Embodied Generalists
Original title: Computer-Use Agents Are Embodied Generalists
Computer-use agents win multiple ECCV competitions by treating embodied tasks as software interactions.
The paper argues that embodied AI can shift toward general-purpose models. Computer-use agents render physical environments as software on a screen and control them with keyboard and mouse actions. A single CUA design wins first-, second-, third-, and sixth-place prizes in four ECCV workshops without task-specific tuning. This shows that visual grounding, clicking, and exploration skills transfer from ordinary software to embodied tasks.
- CUAs operate via rendered screenshots and input controls
- Wins first-, second-, third-, and sixth-place prizes
- No competition-specific agent tuning required
- Skills carry over to broader embodied AI scope

1 min read at arxiv.orgIn many areas of AI, general-purpose models have increasingly replaced handcrafted methods and specialized architectures. We argue that embodied AI is poised for a similar shift. Our key claim is that embodied tasks can be formulated as interaction with digital software.
