ACTS: Learning Visuo-Tactile World Models from Human Physical Interaction

Yuxiang Ma, Weihan Xu, Pengfei Ye +5

Abstract Action-conditioned world models for contact-rich manipulation require data that captures how contact forms, slides, and releases under varying force. Such data are slow to…

Robot Learning with Visual Predicted Force

Haonan Chen, Feiyang Wu, Yuxiang Ma +11

Force-aware manipulation typically relies on specialized force or tactile sensors. We show that force-aware manipulation can instead be achieved through visual force prediction fro…
