arXiv:2606. 12109v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have demonstrated remarkable zero-shot generalization in robotic manipulation, yet the vast majority of pre-trained pipelines remain strictly confined to low-DoF parallel grippers.

The paper introduces a continual‑learning framework for single‑view 6‑DoF grasp synthesis with a parallel‑jaw gripper in cluttered scenes. Instead of fine‑tuning a large parametric model, the method updates grasp scores via memory in a learned embedding space and optionally incorporates user demonstrations to generate new candidate grasps. Experiments in simulation and real‑world trials (over 1500 grasps) show that the approach matches baseline performance before adaptation, improves online on unseen objects, and achieves over 90% success on challenging categories after just 50 online attempts.

arXiv:2606. 26428v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-fingered robots promise the speed and dexterity of human hands, yet challenging problems such as precise assembly have remained out of reach.

AdaRoboVLG is a Vision‑Language‑Grasp framework that separates a generalizable base grasp policy from task‑specific understanding. The base policy generates and evaluates physically feasible grasp candidates using kinematic mapping and force‑closure stability, while foundation‑model modules supply composable spatial, cognitive, and temporal priors that adapt grasp synthesis to different robotic hands and environments without retraining. Experiments show strong cross‑hand generalization, effective handling of diverse grasping challenges, and functional grasping in cluttered, dynamic settings.
