Cracking Mobile Manipulation: From Failure Diagnosis to Agentic Robot System
Zixuan Wang, Jia-Ning Li, Yinzhou Tang +5
Recent vision-language-action (VLA) models have shown strong performance on local robot manipulation, yet their success does not readily translate to long-horizon mobile manipulati…
Evolve Vision-Language-Action Model into an Agent with On-the-fly Tool-use
Ding Yi, Yi Ding, Yanzhao Yu +6
This paper integrates end-to-end Visual-Language-Action (VLA) models with agentic tool-use to propose Agentic Robot with Tool-use (ART). ART is a tool-injection framework that tune…
Choose What to Manipulate: Revealing Data Scaling Laws in Bounding-Box Guided Policies for Semantic Manipulation
Yihao Wu, Jinming Ma, Junbo Tan +5
Diffusion-based policies generalize poorly in semantic manipulation, a key obstacle to real-world deployment, because text-only instructions cannot reliably steer the policy toward…
A Hybrid Force-Position Strategy for Shape Control of Deformable Linear Objects With Graph Attention Networks
Yanzhao Yu, Haotian Yang, Junbo Tan +1
Manipulating deformable linear objects (DLOs) such as wires and cables is crucial in various applications like electronics assembly and medical surgeries. However, it faces challen…
A Dataset and Benchmark for Robotic Cloth Unfolding Grasp Selection: The ICRA 2024 Cloth Competition
Victor-Louis De Gusseme, Thomas Lips, Remko Proesmans +59
Robotic cloth manipulation suffers from a lack of standardized benchmarks and shared datasets for evaluating and comparing different approaches. To address this, we created a bench…
Data-Driven MPC with Data Selection for Flexible Cable-Driven Robotic Arms
Huayue Liang, Yanbo Chen, Hongyang Cheng +5
Flexible cable-driven robotic arms (FCRAs) offer dexterous and compliant motion. Still, the inherent properties of cables, such as resilience, hysteresis, and friction, often lead…
