Anticipatory Robot Goalkeeping via Monotone Optimal Stopping
Hao E. Zhang, Ruize Geng, Yisen Li +8
Robots engaged in fast physical interactions often need to act before the intent of another agent is fully known. Anticipatory goalkeeping illustrates this challenge. Waiting provi…
Learning Versatile Humanoid Manipulation with Touch Dreaming
Yaru Niu, Zhenlong Fang, Binghong Chen +8
Humanoid robots promise general-purpose assistance, yet real-world humanoid loco-manipulation remains challenging because it requires whole-body stability, end-effector dexterity,…
HALO: Learning Human-Robot Collaboration via Heterogeneous-Agent Lyapunov Policy Optimization
Hao Zhang, Yaru Niu, Yikai Wang +2
To improve generalization and resilience in human-robot collaboration (HRC), robots must contend with diverse combinations of human behaviors and contexts, motivating multi-agent r…
Dexterous Manipulation Policies from RGB Human Videos via 3D Hand-Object Trajectory Reconstruction
Hongyi Chen, Tony Dong, Tiancheng Wu +7
Multi-finger robotic hand manipulation and grasping are challenging due to the high-dimensional action space and the difficulty of acquiring large-scale training data. Existing app…
Unifying Agent Interaction and World Information for Multi-agent Coordination
