SynthICL: Scalable In-context Imitation Learning with Synthetic Data

Cheng Qian, Ruomeng Fan, Yifei Ren +2

In-context imitation learning (ICIL) enables robots to learn new tasks from a small number of demonstrations by conditioning a pre-trained policy on task-specific examples, without…

Instant-Fold: In-Context Imitation Learning for Deformable Object Manipulation

Yilong Wang, Cheng Qian, Edward Johns

Deformable object manipulation (DOM) is challenging due to high-dimensional, partially observable states that evolve through long-horizon, topology-changing interactions with multi…

TransDex: Pre-training Visuo-Tactile Policy with Point Cloud Reconstruction for Dexterous Manipulation of Transparent Objects

Fengguan Li, Yifan Ma, Chen Qian +2

Dexterous manipulation enables complex tasks but suffers from self-occlusion, severe depth noise, and depth information loss when manipulating transparent objects. To solve this pr…

Dexterous Robotic Piano Playing at Scale

Le Chen, Yi Zhao, Jan Schneider +7

Endowing robot hands with human-level dexterity has been a long-standing goal in robotics. Bimanual robotic piano playing represents a particularly challenging task: it is high-dim…

Observer-Actor: Active Vision Imitation Learning with Sparse-View Gaussian Splatting

Yilong Wang, Cheng Qian, Ruomeng Fan +1

We propose Observer Actor (ObAct), a novel framework for active vision imitation learning in which the observer moves to optimal visual observations for the actor. We study ObAct o…

Dense-Jump Flow Matching with Non-Uniform Time Scheduling for Robotic Policies: Mitigating Multi-Step Inference Degradation

Zidong Chen, Zihao Guo, Peng Wang +3

Flow matching has emerged as a competitive framework for learning high-quality generative policies in robotics; however, we find that generalisation arises and saturates early alon…

ReSemAct: Advancing Fine-Grained Robotic Manipulation via Semantic Structuring and Affordance Refinement

Chenyu Su, Weiwei Shang, Chen Qian +2

Fine-grained robotic manipulation requires grounding natural language into appropriate affordance targets. However, most existing methods driven by foundation models often compress…

Autonomous Path Planning for Intercostal Robotic Ultrasound Imaging Using Reinforcement Learning

Yuan Bi, Cheng Qian, Zhicheng Zhang +2

Ultrasound (US) has been widely used in daily clinical practice for screening internal organs and guiding interventions. However, due to the acoustic shadow cast by the subcutaneou…
