LAMP: Latent Motion Prior-Guided Real-World Learning for Dexterous Hand Manipulation
Xinye Yang, Zhiyuan Ma, Hongze Yu +5
Real-world learning for dexterous hands remains brittle because high-dimensional hand actions amplify imitation errors and make reinforcement-learning exploration prone to contact-…
UMI-Bench 1.0: An Open and Reproducible Real-World Benchmark for Tabletop Robotic Manipulation with UMI Data
Shi Jin, Yuntian Wang, Yuhui Duan +16
Real-robot evaluation is essential for understanding whether learned manipulation policies can operate reliably outside curated demonstrations. This need is particularly pressing f…
VISTA: Vision-Grounded and Physics-Validated Adaptation of UMI data for VLA Training
Siyuan Yang, Linzheng Guo, Ouyang Lu +10
Universal Manipulation Interface (UMI) enables scalable real-world robot data collection without hardware-specific teleoperation, yet leveraging UMI data to train large-scale Visio…
Extending Test-Time Scaling: A 3D Perspective with Context, Batch, and Turn
Chao Yu, Qixin Tan, Jiaxuan Gao +7
Reasoning reinforcement learning (RL) has recently revealed a new scaling effect: test-time scaling. Thinking models such as R1 and o1 improve their reasoning accuracy at test time…
Fine-tuning Diffusion Policies with Backpropagation Through Diffusion Timesteps
Ningyuan Yang, Jiaxuan Gao, Feng Gao +2
Diffusion policies, widely adopted in decision-making scenarios such as robotics, gaming and autonomous driving, are capable of learning diverse skills from demonstration data due…
Toward Real-World Cooperative and Competitive Soccer with Quadrupedal Robot Teams
Zhi Su, Yuman Gao, Emily Lukas +8
Achieving coordinated teamwork among legged robots requires both fine-grained locomotion control and long-horizon strategic decision-making. Robot soccer offers a compelling testbe…
