Lift3D-VLA: Lifting VLA Models to 3D Geometry and Dynamics-Aware Manipulation
Jiaming Liu, Qingpo Wuwu, Nuowei Han +8
Recently, Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have demonstrated strong generalization across diverse tasks. However, effective robotic manipulation in physical environments fundame…
FTP-1: A Generalist Foundation Tactile Policy Across Tactile Sensors for Contact-Rich Manipulation
Chengbo Yuan, Zicheng Zhang, Mingjie Zhou +14
Despite the success of vision-based generalist robotic policies, existing tactile-based policies remain tied to fixed embodiments and sensor setups. This is because tactile signals…
T-Rex: Tactile-Reactive Dexterous Manipulation
Dantong Niu, Zhuoyang Liu, Zekai Wang +31
The ability to react dynamically to tactile signals has long been considered crucial to agile human-level dexterity. Yet contemporary learning-based Vision-Language-Action (VLA) mo…
Contrastive Action-Image Pre-training for Visuomotor Control
Yuvan Sharma, Dantong Niu, Anirudh Pai +16
Existing vision encoders for robotics face a fundamental bottleneck: robotic datasets lack the scale necessary for large-scale pre-training. Prior work circumvents this data scarci…
LaST: Latent Spatio-Temporal Chain-of-Thought for Robotic Vision-Language-Action Model
Zhuoyang Liu, Jiaming Liu, Hao Chen +11
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have recently shown strong generalization, with some approaches seeking to explicitly generate linguistic reasoning traces or predict future obs…
TwinRL: Digital Twin-Driven Reinforcement Learning for Real-World Robotic Manipulation
Qinwen Xu, Jiaming Liu, Rui Zhou +11
Despite strong generalization capabilities, Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models remain constrained by the high cost of expert demonstrations and limited real-world interaction. Whi…
