Evolutionary diversification via modular compliance for self-reconfigurable continuum robots

Modular self-reconfigurable robots promise adaptability through changes in morphology, yet most existing systems remain limited by low functional density, rigid modules, and constrained docking interfaces that restrict scalable locomotion and manipulation. In contrast, biological organisms achieve rich behavioral diver...

Failure Detection for Surgical Robot Imitation Policies via Flow-Matching World Modeling

FoMo-FD (Flow-Matching World Model for Failure Detection), a failure detection method that learns nominal short-horizon visual dynamics with an action-conditioned flow-matching world model, outperforms observation-level anomaly baselines and a prediction-error variant of the same world model.
