Most humanoid loco-manipulation controllers require human motion data to learn whole-body coordination and posture, leaving policies reliant on external sources to provide this data. We present OCLO (Online-posture Compliant LOco-manipulation), a humanoid loco-manipulation system trained without human motion data and c …
Accurately modeling and tracking the deformation of soft tissue is critical for a wide range of interventional and surgical procedures. However, current methods struggle in scenarios involving topological changes, such as cutting and dissection, due to the inherent non-linearity and discontinuity introduced by explicit …
Rapid advances in humanoid robotics have motivated growing interest in the application of humanoids for healthcare and clinical tasks. However, it remains unclear how close contemporary humanoids are to meeting the kinematic demands of robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery. In this work, we address the question of optima …
Paired video-action demonstrations enable autonomous surgical behavior, but such data is scarce: robots perform roughly 1% of surgeries, while video-only data is abundant. Learning 3D object flow offers an embodiment-agnostic way to utilize video data, but flow alone specifies how an object should move, not where and w …
