Mixture of Frames Policy: Multi-Frame Action Denoising for Bimanual Mobile Manipulation

Dian Wang, Jisang Park, Xiaomeng Xu +3

The paper introduces Mixture of Frames Policy (MoF), a diffusion-based visuomotor controller that denoises actions simultaneously in several coordinate frames to better handle bima…

Multisensory Continual Learning: Adapting Pretrained Visuomotor Policies to Force

Jaden Clark, Changhao Wang, Yihuai Gao +5

Robot manipulation often relies on sensory feedback beyond vision, particularly in contact-rich settings where force, tactile, or audio signals reveal interaction states that are n…

From Prior to Pro: Efficient Skill Mastery via Distribution Contractive RL Finetuning

Zhanyi Sun, Shuran Song

We introduce Distribution Contractive Reinforcement Learning (DICE-RL), a framework that uses reinforcement learning (RL) as a "distribution contraction" operator to refine pretrai…

Robustness of Robotic Manipulation: Foundations and Frontiers

Yifei Dong, Zhanyi Sun, Lujie Yang +5

Humans and animals exhibit remarkable robustness in physical manipulation, yet robots remain far behind. Progress toward human-level manipulation robustness is hindered by the abse…

Behavior Prompting Policy: Demonstrations as Prompts for Manipulation

Austin Patel, Ben Pekarek, Joel Enrique Castro Hernandez +1

We study behavior prompting, a paradigm that enables robots to perform new tasks at inference time given a single human demonstration, which we call a behavior prompt. To enable th…

PanoVine: Whole-Body Visuomotor Control for Soft Growing Vine Robot

Yimeng Qin, Xiaomeng Xu, William Heap +3

Vine robots, a class of soft, growing robots, are suitable for navigating complex and confined environments due to their compliant bodies and self-supporting growth mechanism. Howe…
