Efficient Real-World Online Reinforcement Learning for Robot Manipulation via Centralized Training and Critic Decomposition
Changhao Li, Yifang Zhang, Heng Zhang +6
Real-world online reinforcement learning (RL) provides a promising approach for training robotic manipulation policies directly in the physical world, avoiding the sim-to-real gap…
Robots Need More than VLA and World Models
Elis Karcini, Faisal Mehrban, Quang Nguyen +6
Generalist robot intelligence is often framed as a policy-scaling problem: collect more robot demonstrations, train larger Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models, and expect broader g…
PLanAR: Planning-Language-Grounded Agentic Reasoning for Robot Manipulation
Pengyuan Guo, Zhonghao Mai, Zhengtong Xu +8
Recent advances in vision-language models (VLMs) have enabled increasing progress in real-world robot manipulation. However, long-horizon manipulation in unstructured environments…
Foundation Models in Robotics: A Comprehensive Review of Methods, Models, Datasets, Challenges and Future Research Directions
Aggelos Psiris, Vasileios Argyriou, Evangelos K. Markakis +6
Over the recent years, the field of robotics has been undergoing a transformative paradigm shift from fixed, single-task, domain-specific solutions towards adaptive, multi-function…
TacVLA: Contact-Aware Tactile Fusion for Robust Vision-Language-Action Manipulation
Kaidi Zhang, Heng Zhang, Zhengtong Xu +7
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have demonstrated significant advantages in robotic manipulation. However, their reliance on vision and language often leads to suboptimal perfo…
CompliantVLA-adaptor: VLM-Guided Variable Impedance Action for Safe Contact-Rich Manipulation
Heng Zhang, Wei-Hsing Huang, Qiyi Tong +7
We propose a CompliantVLA-adaptor that augments the state-of-the-art Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models with vision-language model (VLM)-informed context-aware variable impedance…
