SRL-MPC: Shape-Aware Reinforcement Learned Model Predictive Control
Ruihua Han, Rui Gao, Zhe Liu +6
Safe and efficient shape-aware navigation in heterogeneous crowds and robot fleets remains challenging. Traditional approaches often assume homogeneous robots, sparse workspaces, s…
ProtoAct: Turning Wet-Lab Protocols into Embodied Robotic Actions
Zhe Liu, Jiaming Gu, Zhaohui Du +7
Biological wet-lab protocols are written for trained researchers and often leave routine operations, state-dependent conditions, and contextual parameters implicit, making them dif…
BioVLN: A Simulation Platform for Visual Language Navigation in Biomedical Laboratories
Zhe Liu, Quan Lu, Zhaohui Du +7
Biomedical laboratory robots must navigate to instruments before performing experimental procedures. Existing embodied navigation platforms are designed for household environments…
Pipette: An Embodied Simulation Platform, Benchmark, and Data-Efficient Augmentation Framework for Wet-Lab Robotics
Zhe Liu, Huanbo Jin, Zhaohui Du +10
Wet-lab robots can improve the reproducibility, throughput, and safety of biomedical experiments, but scaling their learning requires customizable simulators for safe and reproduci…
ACE-Brain-0.5: A Unified Embodied Foundational Model for Physical Agentic AI
Brain Team, Ziyang Gong, Haoming Gu +28
Embodied AI is moving from isolated perception or action modules toward physical agents that understand, plan under goals, act through robot bodies, monitor progress, and improve f…
IR-SIM: A Lightweight Skill-Native Simulator for Navigation, Learning, and Benchmarking
Ruihua Han, Shuai Wang, Chengyang Li +8
Simulation plays a key role in automated robotics research supported by large language models (LLMs). However, existing simulators often require custom code or complex interfaces,…
