World action models (WAMs) aim to answer a coupled physical question: given a task instruction, what motion should the robot execute, and how will that motion change the surrounding world? Most existing WAMs build on pretrained video generators and represent world evolution through images or visual latents. Robotic int …

Collecting tactile demonstrations on robots is costly and slow, motivating the use of lower-cost human tactile gloves for scalable data collection. However, human capacitive/piezoresistive gloves and robotic tactile sensors differ fundamentally in transduction principle, sensor layout, spatial resolution, and dynamic r …

Mobile humanoid manipulation requires both reaching a usable workspace and preserving precise hand-object interactions as object poses and contact conditions change. Learning these behaviors from limited task-specific data remains challenging. To bridge this gap, we introduce Praxis, a whole-body manipulation framework …

Reactive vision-language-action (VLA) policies suffer from task-state aliasing in long-horizon manipulation, where identical multimodal inputs call for distinct, context-dependent actions. Given that pretrained VLAs already possess rich control primitives to express diverse behaviors, we hypothesize that the execution …
