Robust In-Hand Manipulation via Priors in Reinforcement Learning and Mechanical Design
Yifei Chen, Shihan Lu, Ed Colgate +1
In-hand manipulation without external sensing is challenging due to uncertainties from finger-object contacts and disturbances by gravity. While reinforcement learning has shown pr…

Language-Guided Multimodal Texture Authoring via Generative Models
Wanli Qian, Aiden Chang, Shihan Lu +2
Authoring realistic haptic textures typically requires low-level parameter tuning and repeated trial-and-error, limiting speed, transparency, and creative reach. We present a langu…

Learning to Feel the Future: DreamTacVLA for Contact-Rich Manipulation
Guo Ye, Zexi Zhang, Xu Zhao +4
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have shown remarkable generalization by mapping web-scale knowledge to robotic control, yet they remain blind to physical contact. Consequently,…
