Demonstration-Based Robotic Feeding Using Dynamic Movement Primitives

This paper presents a demonstration-based robotic feeding framework that integrates human demonstration, Dynamic Movement Primitive-based motion planning, vision-based scene perception, and robot control. A human operator first demonstrates the scooping and feeding motions while the position and Euler-angle orientation...

SimpleVLN: Towards Simple and Frontier Vision-Language Navigation

Vision-and-Language Navigation (VLN) requires embodied agents to ground language in visual observations and make long-horizon decisions. Existing methods often address these demands through task-specific architectures. As multimodal large language models (MLLMs) become increasingly capable, an important question remain...

RoboDreamer: Anticipatory Humanoid Locomotion with Predictive State-Space Models

RoboDreamer is presented, a two-stage teacher--student framework that combines next-observation consistency with randomized continuous temporal masking that demonstrates robust motion tracking under observation masking and successful real-world deployment.

CoLA: Multi-VLA Coordination via Learned Adapters

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models are typically deployed as isolated single-agent policies. When several such agents share a workspace, they can coordinate implicitly, by observing one another, or explicitly, by exchanging messages, but it remains unclear when explicit communication becomes necessary. We introduce Co...

What Matters in Quality-Aware VLA Pretraining: A Benchmark and Empirical Study

How should demonstration quality be used during vision-language-action (VLA) pretraining to improve performance after target-task fine-tuning? We compare weighting, filtering, and conditioning across reward definitions and label granularities using 5,000 naturally suboptimal human demonstrations and 24 target tasks. Wi...

FreeSpeed: Training-Free Speed Control for Generative Robot Policies

Online control of execution speed is essential for deploying robot policies in real-world scenarios, as robots may need to speed up under time constraints or slow down to facilitate human interaction and improve safety. However, imitation-learned policies inherit the execution speed of their demonstrations, and test-ti...

mmHRI: Towards Privacy-Preserving Human-Robot Interaction with Millimeter-Wave Radar

Assistive robots increasingly operate in many human-centered environments and perform various human-robot interaction (HRI) tasks, such as object delivery. However, most existing HRI systems rely on RGB cameras that continuously observe humans to respond to non-verbal commands, such as hand gestures. This raises privac...

Fast Plans, Faithful Actions: Closing the Planning-Execution Gap in Hierarchical Vision-Language-Action Models

Hierarchical vision-language-action (VLA) systems consist of a high-level vision-language planner and a low-level action expert that generates continuous actions. This hierarchical design has practical value only if the planner can generate plans fast enough to meet real-time control requirements, and the resulting pla...

LIBERO-MAX: Do Robot Policies Adapt When the World Changes?

Robots must often continue a task after a target moves, the viewpoint shifts, or an obstacle appears, even though their earlier observations and committed actions reflect the previous scene. Many simulation robustness benchmarks fix external conditions at reset, leaving this temporal challenge underexamined. We introdu...

F4R: Failure-Driven Recognition, Reconstruction, Refinement, and Redeployment for Continual Robot Self-Improvement

Failure for Rising is proposed, a failure-driven real-to-sim-to-real closed-loop learning framework that converts real-world failures into targeted policy improvement and reconstructs each failure as an interactive, object-centric table-top environment that preserves the task-relevant spatial and physical conditions.

MemBodied: Recurrent Associative Memory for Vision-Language-Action Models

Findings support MemBodied as a practical alternative to expanding the policy context for history-dependent manipulation, a fixed-size episodic memory with two complementary components: an associative state that records interactions across policy calls and an episode anchor that preserves a compact representation of th...

Learning Physical Interaction: A Survey of Tactile- and Force-aware Robot Learning

Physically grounded robot intelligence requires robots to perceive, reason about, and regulate their interactions with the physical world. This capability is particularly critical in contact-sensitive manipulation, where successful task execution depends not only on visual perception and motion generation, but also on...
