Memory Anchors for Continual Robot Learning

Maximilian Du, Zhanyi Sun, Chen Xu +3

Robot policies deployed in the wild should have the capability to continually learn new tasks without forgetting existing behaviors. A common approach to combat such catastrophic f…

Robustness of Robotic Manipulation: Foundations and Frontiers

Yifei Dong, Zhanyi Sun, Lujie Yang +5

Humans and animals exhibit remarkable robustness in physical manipulation, yet robots remain far behind. Progress toward human-level manipulation robustness is hindered by the abse…

From Prior to Pro: Efficient Skill Mastery via Distribution Contractive RL Finetuning

Zhanyi Sun, Shuran Song

We introduce Distribution Contractive Reinforcement Learning (DICE-RL), a framework that uses reinforcement learning (RL) as a "distribution contraction" operator to refine pretrai…

Latent Policy Barrier: Learning Robust Visuomotor Policies by Staying In-Distribution

Zhanyi Sun, Shuran Song

Visuomotor policies trained via behavior cloning are vulnerable to covariate shift, where small deviations from expert trajectories can compound into failure. Common strategies to…

RL-VLM-F: Reinforcement Learning from Vision Language Foundation Model Feedback

Yufei Wang, Zhanyi Sun, Jesse Zhang +4

Reward engineering has long been a challenge in Reinforcement Learning (RL) research, as it often requires extensive human effort and iterative processes of trial-and-error to desi…

Force-Constrained Visual Policy: Safe Robot-Assisted Dressing via Multi-Modal Sensing

Zhanyi Sun, Yufei Wang, David Held +1

Robot-assisted dressing could profoundly enhance the quality of life of adults with physical disabilities. To achieve this, a robot can benefit from both visual and force sensing.…
