Smooth Operator: A Real-Time Sampling-Based Algorithm for Kinematic Hand Retargeting
Robert Jomar Malate, Erik Bauer, Norica Bacuieti +4
The paper presents a gradient‑free, sampling‑based algorithm (SBR) for real‑time kinematic hand retargeting that reduces jitter and improves teleoperation data quality, validated t…
Latent Action Diffusion for Cross-Embodiment Manipulation
Erik Bauer, Elvis Nava, Robert K. Katzschmann
End-to-end learning is emerging as a powerful paradigm for robotic manipulation, but its effectiveness is limited by data scarcity and the heterogeneity of action spaces across rob…
mimic-video: Video-Action Models for Generalizable Robot Control Beyond VLAs
Jonas Pai, Liam Achenbach, Victoriano Montesinos +3
Prevailing Vision-Language-Action Models (VLAs) for robotic manipulation are built upon vision-language backbones pretrained on large-scale, but disconnected static web data. As a…
mimic-one: a Scalable Model Recipe for General Purpose Robot Dexterity
Elvis Nava, Victoriano Montesinos, Erik Bauer +8
We present a diffusion-based model recipe for real-world control of a highly dexterous humanoid robotic hand, designed for sample-efficient learning and smooth fine-motor action in…
