Evaluating end-to-end autonomous driving under rare, safety-critical vehicle-pedestrian interactions requires photorealistic, sensor-level scenarios. However, trajectory-based scenario generators cannot synthesize raw visual observations, whereas video-based approaches lack controllability. To bridge this gap, we prese …
Visual-memory systems commonly retain or compress past observations. Robot control additionally requires interaction-derived state that no individual frame may explicitly represent, such as persistent identity relations, accumulated progress, or ordered procedures. We introduce Simple Agentic Robot Memory (SimpleARM), …
Humanoids now walk, balance and reach with remarkable generality: one whole-body tracking policy follows references from a human, or from an end-to-end policy. That generality travels in the trajectory, and a trajectory alone carries limited information about the interaction it should produce: at contact, the executing …
Humanoid kicking requires coordinated whole-body motion and precise contact, while a banana kick demands contact mechanics that generate ball spin and aerodynamic curvature. Motion imitation provides a reliable ordinary-kick prior, but reinforcement learning may improve shot speed and placement accuracy without changin …
Robots engaged in fast physical interactions often need to act before the intent of another agent is fully known. Anticipatory goalkeeping illustrates this challenge. Waiting provides more reliable information about the target but reduces the physical opportunity for interception, whereas acting early preserves reachab …
Learning in robotic games is constrained not only by strategic information but also by what the body can still execute. We study this coupling in a hierarchical humanoid-quadruped penalty system in which game-level self-play policies command fixed soccer whole-body controllers (S-WBCs). The humanoid shooting skill is i …
Multi-party human-robot collaboration poses a dual challenge: robot decisions should remain interpretable and auditable, while executed actions must satisfy safety constraints during physical interaction. Combining explainable decision-tree policies with control-barrier-function (CBF) filtering provides a promising arc …
