Bi-HIL: Bilateral Control-Based Multimodal Hierarchical Imitation Learning via Subtask-Level Progress Rate and Keyframe Memory for Long-Horizon Contact-Rich Robotic Manipulation

Thanpimon Buamanee, Masato Kobayashi, Yuki Uranishi

Long-horizon contact-rich robotic manipulation remains challenging due to partial observability and unstable subtask transitions under contact uncertainty. While hierarchical archi…
