A generalist robot should not only perform diverse tasks but also improve through experience, turning what it learns during execution into capabilities that later tasks can reuse. Robot agents that act through code can already repair programs from execution feedback, yet it remains a central challenge to organize this …

End-to-end robot policies trained through imitation learning remain constrained by limited data diversity, making reliable zero-shot deployment in real-world settings challenging. Shared-autonomy methods enable human correction through teleoperation, but specialized hardware and operator training hinder deployment at s …

Sparse attention is a primary approach to reducing the latency of diffusion transformers in long-sequence generation tasks, such as video and high-resolution 3D asset generation. However, existing methods can degrade generation quality and fidelity at high sparsity levels. Through controlled oracle comparisons, we trac …

Robotic foundation models (RFMs) are increasingly capable of general-purpose manipulation, yet reliable physical interaction remains challenging in contact-rich settings. We present FP2, a lightweight downstream interface that equips task-adapted RFMs with explicit force control while preserving their action-generation …

Precision manipulation with contact-critical interactions is often history-dependent: visually similar observations can correspond to different latent interaction states and therefore require different actions, while small execution errors can alter task outcomes. Policies relying on the current visual observation alon …

Diffusion models provide a flexible framework for motion generation, but turning this flexibility into closed-loop humanoid control remains challenging. Hierarchical generator-tracker systems steer motion through reference trajectories, yet these references may exceed the capabilities of the downstream tracker, leaving …

Visuomotor policies observe both the task scene and the acting embodiment, allowing embodiment-specific visual cues to influence action prediction. We study this phenomenon as visual embodiment dependence (VED) and show, through cue-conflict interventions across representative policies, that visible robot configuration …
