Handroid: Bridging Dexterous Hand and Humanoid
Ruogu Li, Chenyang Ma, Sikai Li +6
Dexterous hands and humanoid robots are typically developed as distinct embodiments: the former enable contact-rich manipulation at the object scale, whereas the latter provide mob…
Are Foundation Models the Route to Full-Stack Transfer in Robotics?
Freek Stulp, Samuel Bustamante, João Silvério +3
In humans and robots alike, transfer learning occurs at different levels of abstraction, from high-level linguistic transfer to low-level transfer of motor skills. In this article,…
ToddlerBot: Open-Source ML-Compatible Humanoid Platform for Loco-Manipulation
Haochen Shi, Weizhuo Wang, Shuran Song +1
Learning-based robotics research driven by data demands a new approach to robot hardware design-one that serves as both a platform for policy execution and a tool for embodied data…
Robot Trains Robot: Automatic Real-World Policy Adaptation and Learning for Humanoids
Kaizhe Hu, Haochen Shi, Yao He +3
Simulation-based reinforcement learning (RL) has significantly advanced humanoid locomotion tasks, yet direct real-world RL from scratch or adapting from pretrained policies remain…
BEHAVIOR Robot Suite: Streamlining Real-World Whole-Body Manipulation for Everyday Household Activities
Yunfan Jiang, Ruohan Zhang, Josiah Wong +7
Real-world household tasks present significant challenges for mobile manipulation robots. An analysis of existing robotics benchmarks reveals that successful task performance hinge…
TidyBot++: An Open-Source Holonomic Mobile Manipulator for Robot Learning
Jimmy Wu, William Chong, Robert Holmberg +6
Exploiting the promise of recent advances in imitation learning for mobile manipulation will require the collection of large numbers of human-guided demonstrations. This paper prop…
