Learning dexterous humanoid loco-manipulation from human demonstrations requires transferring not only human motion, but also the coordinated interaction structure underlying the demonstrated behavior. This is challenging because embodiment differences distort the coupling among body motion, wrist placement, finger art …

Reinforcement learning (RL) with sparse rewards is challenging because delayed outcomes provide little guidance about which intermediate computations caused success or failure. We argue that reliable credit assignment requires policy dynamics that preserve and expose credit-relevant information over time, a role we for …

General-purpose robots must infer what a new task requires and translate that understanding into appropriate physical action. In-context learning (ICL) for robots supports this process by using demonstrations and interaction to direct existing competence with neural parameters held fixed during deployment. We organize …
