KPI: A Promptable Kernel for Physical Interaction on Humanoids

Yikai Wang, Honghao Zhu, Xiao Hu et al. · 2026

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 …

Kinematic Interface for the Wild: Modular Bimanual Loco-Manipulation Capture from 360$^{\circ}$ Cameras Alone

A wrist-mounted camera for UMI-style data collection must do two jobs: record the manipulation and localize in the scene. Most handheld devices localize online from workspace-facing views crowded by hands and objects, or add dedicated tracking hardware. Room-scale bimanual capture therefore still tends to instrument th …

From Pretraining to Proficiency: Real-World Subtask RL for Long-Horizon Manipulation with Minimal Human Intervention

A pretrained robot foundation policy may execute most of a long-horizon task yet repeatedly fail at a few critical subtasks. Collecting additional full-task demonstrations for supervised fine-tuning (SFT) requires operators to repeat behaviors the policy already performs well. Reinforcement learning (RL) fine-tuning of …
