Long-horizon robot manipulation reuses skills across many task compositions, but improving these compositions with additional end-to-end demonstrations is costly. A practical self-improving system must decide both what to teach next and where to apply that supervision. We present ROBOCOACH, a world-model-guided coachin …
Physical contact often determines how a humanoid should respond during loco-manipulation, yet vision and proprioception alone are often insufficient to characterize physical interaction, especially when the contact region is occluded. Unlike sparse force or torque measurements at predefined regions, distributed tactile …
Autoregressive Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models offer a scalable path to robot learning, yet existing action tokenizers treat tokenization as a compression problem, producing representations that are semantically misaligned with the autoregressive backbone. We propose CATok, a causal action tokenizer that reframes t …
High-speed racket sports provide a demanding testbed for humanoid robots, requiring time-critical decisions, precise striking, and dynamic whole-body coordination. In badminton, fast-changing shuttle trajectories require timely contact decisions, while successful returns demand precise racket pose and velocity within a …
Learning humanoid-object interaction requires coordinating whole-body balance, locomotion, and dexterous hand contact to control both robot and object motion. Human demonstrations provide examples of coordinated interaction, but transferring these behaviors to humanoid robots requires learning how to establish and main …
