EgoSpeedUp: Transferring Human Manipulation Tempo to Robot Policies

EgoSpeedUp is a framework that transfers human manipulation tempo to robot policies by aligning and retiming robot demonstrations using phase-wise tempo estimates derived from human demonstrations. The method improves task success rates by an average of 25 percentage points and reduces successful execution time by 36.5% on two real-world manipulation tasks. It demonstrates that human manipulation tempo can serve as an effective temporal reference for faster and more reliable robot policies.

DexPIE: Stable Dexterous Policy Improvement from Real-World Experience

DexPIE is a post‑training framework that improves dexterous manipulation policies using real‑world experience. It introduces a dexterous‑hand‑adapted intervention system and multi‑stage DAgger‑style data collection to enhance exploration, aligns training and inference to reduce distribution shift, and conditions the policy on a continuous optimality indicator for fine‑grained data quality use. In three real‑world tasks, DexPIE boosts success rates by 37.3% over a demonstration‑based baseline, outperforming all other methods and showing stronger robustness.

ORPA: Online Residual Policy Adaptation for Robot Manipulation Control with Human Feedback

The paper introduces ORPA, a framework that adds a lightweight, feedback-conditioned module to a pretrained robotic manipulation policy, enabling real‑time residual adjustments in joint space without retraining the base policy. ORPA allows immediate correction of execution errors and distribution shifts, improving success rates and recovery on precision‑sensitive tasks compared to baseline policies and rule‑based inverse kinematics. The method is evaluated on the ALOHA platform, showing its effectiveness in real‑time deployment scenarios.
