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.

SynIL: Leveraging Synergy for Offline Imitation Learning from Imperfect Demonstration Datasets

SynIL is a new framework for offline imitation learning that automatically assesses the quality of demonstration data without requiring labels. It uses motor synergy—a low‑dimensional coordinated movement pattern linked to proficiency—to generate dense, transition‑level reward signals through self‑supervised reward regression. Experiments on D4RL locomotion and Robomimic manipulation datasets show that synergy‑derived rewards align well with true rewards and that SynIL outperforms Behavior Cloning and rivals or surpasses offline reinforcement learning in sparse‑reward scenarios.
