Scouting the Dynamics Gap: Test-Time Policy Adaptation via Action-Outcome Feedback

While pretrained robotic policies exhibit impressive capabilities in controlled environments, unobserved physical properties and dynamics require these policies to rapidly adapt during deployment. Existing test-time adaptation methods typically rely on sparse scalar rewards, failing to exploit the rich geometric and dy...

H2RBench: A Real-to-Sim Benchmark for Evaluating Human-to-Robot Transfer

Learning robot manipulation policies from human video demonstrations constitutes a promising avenue for scalable robot learning. However, comparing different human-to-robot (H2R) transfer methods remains challenging, as existing approaches are evaluated under different settings, including differing task suites, scene l...

JAMB: Joint Action-Motion Diffusion for Bimanual Manipulation

Coordinated bimanual manipulation is challenging because the motion of either arm can alter the shared 3D scene and thereby affect the other arm. Yet most diffusion policies generate actions without explicitly modeling these future geometric consequences, while predictive variants typically use future state only as aux...

From Grasps to Dexterity: Large-Scale Grasp Pretraining for Dexterous Manipulation

This work adapts a hierarchical imitation learning framework that combines high-level hand sub-goal prediction with a low-level goal-conditioned controller to serve not only as resources for grasp synthesis, but also as scalable pretraining data for contact-rich dexterous manipulation.
