Physics-based human-object interaction has achieved robust single-agent manipulation skills, yet extending them to multi-agent cooperative tasks remains challenging. Existing approaches typically adapt interaction policies through task-specific fine-tuning, which entangles low-level contact-rich execution with high-lev …
Natural face-to-face human--robot interaction requires a robot to understand an evolving social situation, decide when to engage, and express its intent through coordinated physical behavior. Yet existing approaches rarely close this loop: foundation-model agents provide increasingly capable multimodal reasoning and me …
Reward-guided image editing at test time seeks to improve a specified reward while preserving source content and visual plausibility. Many existing approaches optimize candidates through pretrained generation processes, making repeated adjustment depend on costly large-model execution and, in some cases, backbone backp …
Adapting robot manipulation policies to new tasks and environments remains highly data-intensive, while the data needed for further improvement depends on the policy's current capabilities and failure modes. We introduce EmbodiRSI, an agentic system for recursive self-improvement (RSI) in a real-to-sim-to-real setting, …
Flow policies can model rich action distributions, but their iterative sampling limits decision speed. Adjoint matching uses the critic's action gradient to improve a flow policy without backpropagating through its sampling trajectory, yet its supervision is defined for instantaneous velocities. We propose QAMM, a meth …
