The Embodiment Gap in Robot Foundation Models
Yukiyasu Domae, Keisuke Shirai, Hanbit Oh +7
Robot foundation models (RFMs), including vision-language-action (VLA) policies, are often discussed through a scaling view: more data, larger models, and broader benchmarks should…
ORPA: Online Residual Policy Adaptation for Robot Manipulation Control with Human Feedback
Muhammad A. Muttaqien, Tomohiro Motoda, Ryo Hanai +1
Robotic manipulation policies trained via imitation learning, such as Action Chunking with Transformers (ACT), can achieve strong performance under ideal conditions but often remai…
TWINS: A Tactile Wearable Isomorphic Arm Networked System for Contact-Rich Manipulation Learning
Takahide Kitamura, Masaki Murooka, Natsuki Yamanobe +1
Recent advances in robot learning for manipulation have increased the importance of collecting real-world demonstration data. However, existing robotic systems primarily focus on e…
Learning to Predict Contact Force Distributions from Vision Leveraging Object Geometry Priors
Ryo Hanai, Yukiyasu Domaea, Ixchel G. Ramirez-Alpizar +3
Based on vision and prior experience, humans can make rough physical predictions and adjust their manipulation strategies. This paper aims to endow robots with a similar ability. T…
GuidedAttention: Interpretable and Correctable Visual Attention for OOD-Robust Robot Manipulation via Imitation Learning
Masaki Murooka, Ryoichi Nakajo, Keisuke Shirai +4
End-to-end visuomotor policies provide little opportunity for humans to understand or correct the policy's visual attention. We propose GuidedAttention, a visuomotor imitation lear…
YUBI: Yielding Universal Bidigital Interface for Bimanual Dexterous Manipulation at Scale
Takehiko Ohkawa, Jumpei Arima, Yuki Noguchi +16
We introduce Yielding Universal Bidigital Interface (YUBI), a finger-aligned gripper designed to enable intuitive, ergonomic, and scalable data collection for bimanual dexterous ma…
