Goal-VLA: Image-Generative VLMs as Object-Centric World Models Empowering Zero-shot Robot Manipulation
Haonan Chen, Jingxiang Guo, Bangjun Wang +7
Generalization remains a fundamental challenge in robotic manipulation. To tackle this challenge, recent Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models build policies on top of Vision-Languag…
AdaptPNP: Integrating Prehensile and Non-Prehensile Skills for Adaptive Robotic Manipulation
Jinxuan Zhu, Chenrui Tie, Xinyi Cao +8
Non-prehensile (NP) manipulation, in which robots alter object states without forming stable grasps (for example, pushing, poking, or sliding), significantly broadens robotic manip…
Manual2Skill++: Connector-Aware General Robotic Assembly from Instruction Manuals via Vision-Language Models
Chenrui Tie, Shengxiang Sun, Yudi Lin +9
Assembly hinges on reliably forming connections between parts; yet most robotic approaches plan assembly sequences and part poses while treating connectors as an afterthought. Conn…
RoTri-Diff: A Spatial Robot-Object Triadic Interaction-Guided Diffusion Model for Bimanual Manipulation
Zixuan Chen, Nga Teng Chan, Yiwen Hou +8
Bimanual manipulation is a fundamental robotic skill that requires continuous and precise coordination between two arms. While imitation learning (IL) is the dominant paradigm for…
Manual2Skill: Learning to Read Manuals and Acquire Robotic Skills for Furniture Assembly Using Vision-Language Models
Chenrui Tie, Shengxiang Sun, Jinxuan Zhu +7
Humans possess an extraordinary ability to understand and execute complex manipulation tasks by interpreting abstract instruction manuals. For robots, however, this capability rema…
MetaFold: Language-Guided Multi-Category Garment Folding Framework via Trajectory Generation and Foundation Model
Haonan Chen, Junxiao Li, Ruihai Wu +9
Garment folding is a common yet challenging task in robotic manipulation. The deformability of garments leads to a vast state space and complex dynamics, which complicates precise…
