Learning Physical Interaction: A Survey of Tactile- and Force-aware Robot Learning
Shilin Shan, Chuhao Zhou, Ruize Wang +30
Physically grounded robot intelligence requires robots to perceive, reason about, and regulate their interactions with the physical world. This capability is particularly critical…
Trans2Occ: Voxel Occupancy Estimation and Grasp for Transparent Objects from Simulation to Reality
Yixuan Yang, Sha Zhang, Rui Li +12
Transparent objects remain challenging for robotic perception due to unreliable depth sensing caused by refraction and reflection. While prior approaches rely on multi-view reconst…
OccamToken: Efficient VLM Inference with Training-Free and Budget-Adaptive Token Pruning
Geng Li, Guohao Chen, Ting Chen +6
Vision-language models (VLMs) rely on long visual token sequences for visual understanding, making the prefill stage expensive in both computation and memory. Most existing pruning…
CompassAD: Intent-Driven 3D Affordance Grounding in Functionally Competing Objects
Jingliang Li, Jindou Jia, Tuo An +7
When told to "cut the cake," a robot must choose the knife over nearby scissors, despite both objects affording the same cutting function. In real-world scenes, multiple objects ma…
EVA-0: Test-Time Model Evolution with Only Two Forward Passes per Sample
Guohao Chen, Shuaicheng Niu, Geng Li +4
Test-time model evolution offers a promising way for deployed models to improve from unlabeled test-time experience, yet most existing methods depend on backpropagation (BP), which…
Adaptive Manipulation Potential and Haptic Estimation for Tool-Mediated Interaction
Lin Yang, Anirvan Dutta, Yuan Ji +5
Achieving human-level dexterity in contact-rich, tool-mediated manipulation remains a significant challenge due to visual occlusion and the underdetermined nature of haptic sensing…
