Play2Perfect: What Matters in Dexterous Play Pretraining for Precise Assembly?

Tyler Ga Wei Lum, Kushal Kedia, C. Karen Liu +1

Multi-fingered robots promise the speed and dexterity of human hands, yet challenging problems such as precise assembly have remained out of reach. These tasks are contact-rich, ma…

X-Diffusion: Training Diffusion Policies on Cross-Embodiment Human Demonstrations

Maximus A. Pace, Prithwish Dan, Chuanruo Ning +5

Human videos are a scalable source of training data for robot learning. However, humans and robots significantly differ in embodiment, making many human actions infeasible for dire…

X-Sim: Cross-Embodiment Learning via Real-to-Sim-to-Real

Prithwish Dan, Kushal Kedia, Angela Chao +4

Human videos offer a scalable way to train robot manipulation policies, but lack the action labels needed by standard imitation learning algorithms. Existing cross-embodiment appro…
