Interaction Latents as Actions for Contact-Rich Manipulation
Yuhang Zheng, Yujie Zang, Yuchen Liu +9
Contact-rich manipulation requires robots to coordinate not only where to move, but also how contact and force should evolve throughout an interaction. Yet most robot policies repr…
UMI-WM: Interactive World Modeling for Bimanual Manipulation from Wrist Cameras
Jingxiang Guo, Haoyu Zhao, Xidong Zhang +6
Universal Manipulation Interface (UMI) pairs wrist-camera videos with camera trajectories and gripper openings, providing scalable, robot-free data for learning how bimanual action…
SyLink Hand: A Synergy-Inspired Linkage-Driven Anthropomorphic Hand for Human-Like Dexterity
Hao Wu, Yanzhe Wang, Yu Feng +4
Designing anthropomorphic robotic hands that balance functional dexterity with mechanical simplicity remains a significant challenge. Inspired by human hand synergies, this paper p…
ShapeForce: Low-Cost Soft Robotic Wrist for Contact-Rich Manipulation
Jinxuan Zhu, Zihao Yan, Yangyu Xiao +5
Contact feedback is essential for contact-rich robotic manipulation, as it allows the robot to detect subtle interaction changes and adjust its actions accordingly. Six-axis force-…
AdaptPNP: Integrating Prehensile and Non-Prehensile Skills for Adaptive Robotic Manipulation
Jinxuan Zhu, Chenrui Tie, Xinyi Cao +8
Non-prehensile (NP) manipulation, in which robots alter object states without forming stable grasps (for example, pushing, poking, or sliding), significantly broadens robotic manip…
Benchmarking Generalizable Bimanual Manipulation: RoboTwin Dual-Arm Collaboration Challenge at CVPR 2025 MEIS Workshop
Tianxing Chen, Kaixuan Wang, Zhaohui Yang +96
Embodied Artificial Intelligence (Embodied AI) is an emerging frontier in robotics, driven by the need for autonomous systems that can perceive, reason, and act in complex physical…
Goal-VLA: Image-Generative VLMs as Object-Centric World Models Empowering Zero-shot Robot Manipulation
Haonan Chen, Jingxiang Guo, Bangjun Wang +7
Generalization remains a fundamental challenge in robotic manipulation. To tackle this challenge, recent Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models build policies on top of Vision-Languag…
DexSinGrasp: Learning a Unified Policy for Dexterous Object Singulation and Grasping in Densely Cluttered Environments
Lixin Xu, Zixuan Liu, Zhewei Gui +6
Grasping objects in cluttered environments remains a fundamental yet challenging problem in robotic manipulation. While prior works have explored learning-based synergies between p…
MetaFold: Language-Guided Multi-Category Garment Folding Framework via Trajectory Generation and Foundation Model
Haonan Chen, Junxiao Li, Ruihai Wu +9
Garment folding is a common yet challenging task in robotic manipulation. The deformability of garments leads to a vast state space and complex dynamics, which complicates precise…
Manual2Skill: Learning to Read Manuals and Acquire Robotic Skills for Furniture Assembly Using Vision-Language Models
Chenrui Tie, Shengxiang Sun, Jinxuan Zhu +7
Humans possess an extraordinary ability to understand and execute complex manipulation tasks by interpreting abstract instruction manuals. For robots, however, this capability rema…
TelePreview: A User-Friendly Teleoperation System with Virtual Arm Assistance for Enhanced Effectiveness
Jingxiang Guo, Jiayu Luo, Zhenyu Wei +5
Teleoperation provides an effective way to collect robot data, which is crucial for learning from demonstrations. In this field, teleoperation faces several key challenges: user-fr…
Grasp: A Unified Representation of Robot and Object Interaction for Cross-Embodiment Dexterous Grasping
Zhenyu Wei, Zhixuan Xu, Jingxiang Guo +5
Dexterous grasping is a fundamental yet challenging skill in robotic manipulation, requiring precise interaction between robotic hands and objects. In this paper, we present $\math…
