9 | 🔥 Since 2022, research on diffusion policies for robotic manipulation has demonstrated consistently superior performance compared to traditional methodologies across diverse tasks. Despite the rapid growth and promising results in this field, there remains a notable absence of comprehensive survey literature that systematically analyzes and synthesizes developments in this evolving research field.

24 | 📍 We present **the first comprehensive analysis of diffusion policies for robotic manipulation**. Specifically, we systematically analyze existing methods from three perspectives: data representation, model architecture, and diffusion strategy. For example, from the model architecture perspective, we categorize existing diffusion policy methods into three types: (a) Large Language Model Based Diffusion Policy, (b) Small Size CNN or Transformer Based Diffusion Policy, and (c) VAE / VQ-VAE Based Diffusion Policy.
