RoboCoach: World Models as Active Coaches for Compositional Robot Skills
RoboCoach introduces a world-model-guided coaching framework that uses imagined failures to direct demonstration requests and expert updates for robot manipulation tasks. The system, called RIDI, runs reusable skill experts within a shared action-conditioned world model and records the first failing subtask to decide which demonstrations to acquire and which adapters to refine. Experiments on simulation suites and real robots show that with only 150 additional subtask demonstrations, success rates increase dramatically, and the coached experts transfer effectively to unseen task compositions.

Learning and Transferring Closed-Loop Robot Software
Closed‑loop robot policies are difficult to design manually because they require complex observation processing, state management, and branching. This study treats complete closed‑loop implementations as reusable execution experience: a coding agent generates policy code from a few demonstrations, iteratively improves it with simulation feedback, and stores the validated implementations. When applying these archived implementations to new tasks, the agent can generate and refine policies using the stored code, target demonstrations, and execution feedback, ultimately producing a frozen policy that runs without further model calls. Across multiple source and target tasks, iterative optimization of the source implementations significantly boosts success rates, demonstrating the value of execution‑improved software for acquiring new policies.

Teach and Grow: An Agent-Centered Architecture for General Robot Learning
Teach-and-Grow Learning (TGL) is an agent-centered architecture that transforms a few successful demonstrations into reusable Skill Blocks, enabling a robot to compose, execute, and revise behaviors in new scenes without task-specific policy retraining. The system maintains a Skill Library and structured Experience Memory to capture successes, failures, and repairs, allowing persistent reuse and agent-directed adaptation. Evaluation on the LIBERO benchmark shows state-of-the-art performance, and the authors propose a scaling-law hypothesis suggesting that accumulated reusable experience reduces future-task error and teaching demand following a power-law trend.
