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.

arXiv:2603. 07866v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Offshore inspection and maintenance have increasingly been using legged robots for routine sensing, yet many useful interventions still require physical interaction with tools, containers, and task-relevant objects.

arXiv:2607. 17757v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Current bin picking methods that rely heavily on end-to-end learning often falter when confronted with unfamiliar or complex objects in unstructured environments.

arXiv:2604. 04138v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Dexterous manipulation requires planning a grasp configuration suited to the object and task, which is then executed through coordinated multi-finger control.
