A Survey of Robotic Navigation and Manipulation with Physics Simulators in the Era of Embodied AI
Lik Hang Kenny Wong, Xueyang Kang, Kaixin Bai +1
Navigation and manipulation are core capabilities in Embodied AI, but training agents to perform them directly in the real world is costly, time-consuming, and unsafe. Therefore, s…
FUNCanon: Learning Pose-Aware Action Primitives via Functional Object Canonicalization for Generalizable Robotic Manipulation
Hongli Xu, Lei Zhang, Xiaoyue Hu +7
General-purpose robotic skills from end-to-end demonstrations often leads to task-specific policies that fail to generalize beyond the training distribution. Therefore, we introduc…
From Flow to One Step: Real-Time Multi-Modal Trajectory Policies via Implicit Maximum Likelihood Estimation-based Distribution Distillation
Ju Dong, Liding Zhang, Lei Zhang +7
Generative policies based on diffusion and flow matching achieve strong performance in robotic manipulation by modeling multi-modal human demonstrations. However, their reliance on…
M4Diffuser: Multi-View Diffusion Policy with Manipulability-Aware Control for Robust Mobile Manipulation
Ju Dong, Lei Zhang, Liding Zhang +8
Mobile manipulation requires the coordinated control of a mobile base and a robotic arm while simultaneously perceiving both global scene context and fine-grained object details. E…
ClearDepth: Enhanced Stereo Perception of Transparent Objects for Robotic Manipulation
Kaixin Bai, Huajian Zeng, Lei Zhang +4
Transparent object depth perception poses a challenge in everyday life and logistics, primarily due to the inability of standard 3D sensors to accurately capture depth on transpare…
ResponsibleRobotBench: Benchmarking Responsible Robot Manipulation using Multi-modal Large Language Models
Lei Zhang, Ju Dong, Kaixin Bai +4
Recent advances in large multimodal models have enabled new opportunities in embodied AI, particularly in robotic manipulation. These models have shown strong potential in generali…
