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.
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:2607. 20399v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Full-sized humanoid robot capabilities have grown exponentially in recent years, aiming towards general-purpose deployment in human environments.
arXiv:2606. 12406v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Contact-rich manipulation requires force sensitivity, but many robot arms lack dedicated force sensors due to their high cost.
arXiv:2608.22296v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Quadruped mobile manipulation requires two tightly coupled capabilities: reaching manipulation-ready configurations and maintaining stable contact th...
arXiv:2606. 15148v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Inverse kinematics (IK) remains a critical bottleneck for real-time robot manipulation.
arXiv:2609.34182v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Dexterous manipulation requires tactile feedback. However, robot tactile demonstrations are difficult to scale,because dexterous-hand teleope...
arXiv:2606. 06218v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A policy tuned for one robot often behaves differently on another, whether due to the sim-to-real gap, unknown payloads, or the differing dynamics of two instances of the same robot.
arXiv:2608.29601v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We present $N_0$-Foundation, a paradigm for tactile-enabled embodied manipulation, which integrates tactile sensing hardware, large-scale mul...
Humanoid loco-manipulation is often simplified into a stop-and-go process: walking to an object, stopping to manipulate it, and then resuming locomotion. It also commonly relies on low degree-of-freedom (DoF) end effectors that behave like an open-close grasp primitive.
arXiv:2607. 00033v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Dexterous robot manipulation can benefit from the abundance of human demonstrations, but transferring such demonstrations to robot policies remains challenging.
HumanEgo is a framework that enables zero‑shot robot learning from short egocentric human videos by converting each demonstration into an entity‑level hand‑object interaction representation and training a flow‑matching policy with dense auxiliary objectives. The method is robot‑data‑free, hardware‑agnostic, and data‑efficient, achieving 92.5 % success on four real‑world tasks with only 30 minutes of human video per task and outperforming matched‑time robot teleoperation by 41 %. HumanEgo also robustly transfers zero‑shot across new robots, cameras, and environments, and is released as an open‑source tool for learning robot policies directly from human data.
