arXiv:2606. 06627v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Human video datasets used for cotraining robot manipulation policies largely consist of curated demonstrations where motions are orchestrated to resemble robot behavior and 3D hand poses are captured with specialized hardware.
arXiv:2608. 07154v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Open-source robotics and foundation models have lowered the barrier to embodied AI, yet language-guided laboratory automation still requires reliable alignment from instructions and observations to safe actions.
arXiv:2606. 12910v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: For robotics to be effectively integrated into household or industrial environments, machines must adapt to natural-language prompts in real time.
arXiv:2606. 10244v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce Yielding Universal Bidigital Interface (YUBI), a finger-aligned gripper designed to enable intuitive, ergonomic, and scalable data collection for bimanual dexterous manipulation.
arXiv:2606. 17054v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Humans can grasp objects effortlessly, whereas multi-fingered robots are far from this level of generality.
arXiv:2606. 14561v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Robotics manipulation research increasingly focuses on two-finger parallel grippers for their effectiveness, affordability, and ease of teleoperation.
arXiv:2608. 19776v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Current dexterous grasp planners primarily optimize for physical stability, focusing on whether an object can be grasped rather than how it should be grasped to support downstream functional tasks.
arXiv:2606. 08107v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Robotics faces a fundamental challenge of data scarcity.
arXiv:2606. 08057v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Egocentric RGB-D videos offer a natural source of human dexterous manipulation demonstrations, but existing data is difficult to use for robot learning because object pose, geometry, and contact information are often missing or require pre-scanned object assets.
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. 14218v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: For robots to work safely in household environments, they need to be compliant and react to torque and force feedback during contact.
