Video2Sim2Real turns a single human video into a deployable robot manipulation skill by reconstructing a digital twin, anchoring motions to object-centric simulator configurations, and bridging sim-to-real gaps with imitation learning and residual RL.
Incremental Iterative Reference Learning Control refines accelerated demonstrations to achieve up to 10x faster execution in contact-rich imitation learning with 22.5% better trajectory similarity than direct IRLC and improved policy success.
Dense spatial modulation of multiple 3D LUTs plus an uncertainty-weighted reconstruction loss improves mixed under/over-exposure correction over global-modulation baselines on four benchmarks.
Contact-Grounded Policy predicts coupled robot-state and tactile trajectories with a diffusion model and maps them via a learned consistency function to executable targets for compliance controllers, outperforming standard visuotactile diffusion baselines on physical and simulated dexterous tasks.
CoDex combines VLMs, constrained optimization, and RL to autonomously discover grasp-move-actuate policies for functional manipulation of unseen objects with internal mechanisms.
DexAC-WM improves FID, FVD, and PCK in high-DoF action-conditioned video prediction via structured action modeling and semantic grounding on EgoDex and EgoVerse.
Robust minimax task inference in BFMs achieves dynamics-shift robustness from nominal offline data alone and outperforms standard baselines.
BehaviorVLA learns long-horizon behavioral representations via causal Mamba encoder and phase-conditioned decoder, reporting SOTA results of 58% on RoboTwin 2.0, 98% on LIBERO, 4.36 on CALVIN, and matching OpenVLA-OFT performance with 50% data in sim-to-real transfer.
A structured survey of dexterous robotic hand research that reviews hardware, control methods, data resources, and benchmarks while identifying major limitations and future directions.
The paper introduces micro-dexterity as a framework for biological micromanipulation by reformulating classical primitives in fluidic, surface-dominated micro-environments and comparing contact-based, field-mediated, and multi-agent architectures.
