RouteRLT: Learning When and Which RL Specialist Should Control a Vision-Language-Action Policy
Chongyu Zhu, Jaden Hinds, Hyegang Kim +3
Vision-language-action (VLA) models provide broad manipulation competence, but often struggle during the precision-critical stages that dominate contact-rich industrial tasks such…

WireCraft: A Simulation Benchmark for Industrial DLO Manipulation
Chongyu Zhu, Ramy ElMallah, Hyegang Kim +5
Deformable Linear Objects (DLOs), such as wires and cables, are central to industrial assembly. Unlike rigid objects, whose state is captured by a 6-DoF pose, DLOs have an infinite…

Score the Steps, Not Just the Goal: VLM-Based Subgoal Evaluation for Robotic Manipulation
Ramy ElMallah, Krish Chhajer, Chi-Guhn Lee
Robot learning papers typically report a single binary success rate (SR), which obscures where a policy succeeds or fails along a multi-step manipulation task. We argue that subgoa…
