arXiv:2604. 10579v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Despite the recent success of modern imitation learning methods in robot manipulation, their performance is often constrained by geometric variations due to limited data diversity.
arXiv:2509. 06191v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent 3D generative models, which are capable of generating full object shapes from just a few images, now open up new opportunities in robotics.
Scaling robot learning requires large-scale, diverse demonstrations, yet real-world data collection via teleoperation remains prohibitively expensive and time-consuming. While video diffusion models offer a promising avenue for data scaling, existing generative approaches are often limited to superficial visual augmentation, or suffer from embodiment hallucinations that yield physically infeasible motions.
arXiv:2607. 26903v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The key bottleneck in embodied AI is not model architecture but data.
arXiv:2606. 10614v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Robotic foundation models pre-trained on human demonstration videos have shown promise, but a significant embodiment gap remains when the resulting policies are deployed on real robots.
arXiv:2606. 10025v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present GHOST, a framework for learning visuomotor manipulation policies that generalize beyond the training distribution.
arXiv:2606. 04269v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deformable object manipulation (DOM) is challenging due to high-dimensional, partially observable states that evolve through long-horizon, topology-changing interactions with multiple valid manipulation modes.
Generalizable robot manipulation requires policies that can anticipate how visual scenes evolve while executing language instructions. While recent Vision-Language-Action models benefit from large-scale pretraining, their predominantly static pretraining objectives provide limited supervision for physical dynamics and temporal causality, leaving control-relevant knowledge to be learned from downstream robot demonstrations.
arXiv:2603. 22876v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Learning a generalist control policy for robotic manipulation typically relies on large-scale datasets.
arXiv:2606. 10918v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The recent trend in scaling models for robot learning has resulted in impressive policies that can perform various manipulation tasks and generalize to novel scenarios.
arXiv:2606. 30632v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Can the robot use a plate to cut a cake if no knife is available?
arXiv:2606. 28813v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Human videos are a scalable source of supervision for robot manipulation, as they are abundant and naturally capture rich object interactions.
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have demonstrated strong capabilities in robotic manipulation by integrating visual perception, language understanding, and robot action generation. Existing research has primarily focused on improving model architectures, training strategies, and dataset scale, while little attention has been paid to how demonstrations are collected and organized.
