Anticipatory Robot Goalkeeping via Monotone Optimal Stopping

Robots engaged in fast physical interactions often need to act before the intent of another agent is fully known. Anticipatory goalkeeping illustrates this challenge. Waiting provides more reliable information about the target but reduces the physical opportunity for interception, whereas acting early preserves reachab...

Controllable and Photorealistic Pedestrian Risky Motion Generation for End-to-End Driving Safety Evaluation

Evaluating end-to-end autonomous driving under rare, safety-critical vehicle-pedestrian interactions requires photorealistic, sensor-level scenarios. However, trajectory-based scenario generators cannot synthesize raw visual observations, whereas video-based approaches lack controllability. To bridge this gap, we prese...

Banana Kick: Response-Informed Skill Evolution for Humanoid Soccer

Humanoid kicking requires coordinated whole-body motion and precise contact, while a banana kick demands contact mechanics that generate ball spin and aerodynamic curvature. Motion imitation provides a reliable ordinary-kick prior, but reinforcement learning may improve shot speed and placement accuracy without changin...

SoftVTBench: A Deformation-Aware Visuo-Tactile Dataset and Benchmark for Deformable-Object Manipulation

Physical interaction quality is central to deformable-object manipulation, yet most benchmarks evaluate task success alone. A policy may complete the task while allowing slip or causing excessive compression. A primary bottleneck is the absence of visuo-tactile datasets that pair policy-visible contact observations wit...

KPI: A Promptable Kernel for Physical Interaction on Humanoids

KPI, a promptable kernel for physical interaction between the trajectory source and an unmodified whole-body tracker, is presented and demonstrated through an agentic framework: from one instruction, a vision-language agent writes both the reference trajectory and the contract, with no task-specific code.

Simple Agentic Memory for Generalist Robot Policies

These results support a state-based view of robot memory: effective memory for control is not simply retained visual history, but compact task-relevant state derived from the interaction history.

SAGE: Safety-Aligned Gradient Enforcement for Human--Robot Collaboration

Safety-aligned gradient enforcement (SAGE) is presented, which uses a differentiable finite-penalty proposal map while retaining the exact CBF quadratic program for execution, preserving constraint-normal sensitivity to internalize repeatedly active safety constraints.

Decoder Design Matters for ECG Delineation

R-U-Net is proposed, an ECG delineation model that pairs a ResNet-18 encoder with a U-Net decoder and shows that decoder design contributes more to performance gains than the evaluated SSL methods, motivating further exploration of architectures for ECG delineation.

GaussianDream++: Efficient 3D Gaussian World Modeling for Robotic Manipulation

GaussianDream demonstrates that training-time current Gaussian reconstruction and future Gaussian prediction provide effective 3D supervision, but its dense VGGT/TGE-based prefix jointly carries state, dynamics, and action-conditioning information.

Learning Generalizable Behaviors for Terminal Agents

River, a simple training recipe that improves reward quality by filtering low-quality environments and augmenting outcome rewards with process-level behavior regularization is proposed, which achieves the best performance among evaluated open-source RL-trained 8B models across four terminal-agent benchmarks.
