ViTaR: Visuo-Tactile Residual Adaptation for Foundation VLA Manipulation
Yi Wang, Renjun Wu, Jinyan Liu +1
As Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models scale toward real-world deployment, contact-rich manipulation exposes a critical blind spot: these policies encode broad visual-semantic prio…
Never Too Late for Force: Accelerating VLA Post-Training with Reactive Force Injection
Yi Wang, Wendi Chen, Zimo Wen +8
Pretrained vision-language-action (VLA) policies provide strong language-conditioned manipulation knowledge, but they remain largely vision-driven and can struggle once manipulatio…
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…
RoboPocket: Improve Robot Policies Instantly with Your Phone
Junjie Fang, Wendi Chen, Han Xue +7
Scaling robot learning is bottlenecked not only by data volume, but also by whether the data targets the policy's failures. Existing robot-free handheld interfaces enable portable…
SOP: A Scalable Online Post-Training System for Vision-Language-Action Models
Mingjie Pan, Siyuan Feng, Qinglin Zhang +9
Vision-language-action (VLA) models achieve strong generalization through large-scale pre-training, but real-world deployment requires expert-level task proficiency in addition to…
When Backdoors Meet Partial Observability: Attacking Real-World Reinforcement Learning
Tairan Huang, Qingqing Ye, Yulin Jin +4
Backdoor attacks can cause reinforcement learning (RL) policies to behave normally under clean inputs while executing malicious behaviors when triggers are present. Existing RL bac…
ImplicitRDP: An End-to-End Visual-Force Diffusion Policy with Structural Slow-Fast Learning
Wendi Chen, Han Xue, Yi Wang +6
Human-level contact-rich manipulation relies on the distinct roles of two key modalities: vision provides spatially rich but temporally slow global context, while force sensing cap…
Genie Centurion: Accelerating Scalable Real-World Robot Training with Human Rewind-and-Refine Guidance
Wenhao Wang, Jianheng Song, Chiming Liu +13
While Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models show strong generalizability in various tasks, real-world deployment of robotic policy still requires large-scale, high-quality human expe…
