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…
ActiveVital: Geometry-Aware Embodied Vital Signs Monitoring for Home Healthcare Robots
Yuxuan Hu, Shihao Li, Yang Xiao +3
Home robots require reliable vital signs monitoring to support long-term companionship and safety in daily environments, yet obtaining respiration and heart rate without physical c…
ADAPT: Analytical Disturbance-Aware Policy Training for Humanoid Locomotion
Bofan Lyu, Jindou Jia, Kuangji Zuo +7
Humanoids deployed in human-centered environments must handle force-interactive tasks, where external contacts introduce unexpected disturbances that disrupt locomotion accuracy an…
GIVE: Grounding Human Gestures in Vision-Language-Action Models
Pengfei Liu, Gen Li, Junqiao Fan +4
Human communication is inherently multimodal, where language is often accompanied by non-verbal cues such as gestures to convey intentions. However, current Vision-Language-Action…
Gaze2Act: Gaze-Conditioned Vision-Language-Action Policies for Interactive Robot Manipulation
Kuangji Zuo, Gen Li, Bofan Lyu +9
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have recently shown strong potential for robot learning by following language instructions. However, in practice, language alone is often insuff…
MARS Policy: Multimodality Only When It Matters
Jindou Jia, Tuo An, Yuxuan Hu +7
Imitation learning has become a cornerstone for solving complex robotic manipulation tasks. In particular, multimodality, which enables robots to capture diverse yet valid behavior…
