Commercial greenhouse cucumber production is graded by fruit length, which drives harvest scheduling, labour allocation, and logistics. Manual measurement with thread or caliper is accurate but infeasible at commercial scale.
arXiv:2606. 03134v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Imitation-learning policies for robot manipulation inherit the quality of the success labels attached to their training episodes, and those labels are usually produced by the robot's own success check.

arXiv:2606. 31200v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Generalizable robotic grasping in cluttered environments is essential for deploying manipulators in unstructured human spaces, yet existing VLM-based methods rely on visual similarity for object matching, neglecting physical affordances such as handle graspability and material fragility, and operate open-loop without spatial reasoning or failure recovery, limiting their effectiveness when objects are densely packed or physically diverse.

Accurate six-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) motion estimation is essential for robotic manipulation, autonomous systems, and structural displacement monitoring. Conventional 3D-2D methods estimate absolute camera poses independently at each time and recover platform motion through camera-to-platform extrinsics, making them sensitive to extrinsic calibration errors, especially for micromotion.
