Effective communication of robot touch intent is essential for safe and predictable physical human-robot interaction. While intent communication has been widely studied, existing approaches lack the spatial specificity and semantic depth necessary to efficiently convey robot touch intent. We present Mirror Skin, a ceph...

HCI and HRI studies often require short, repeatable arousal manipulations that can run while participants continue interacting with a device or robot. These experiments are often challenged by the need to induce arousal in settings that still resemble real interaction. Participants must continue using a device, touchin...
It is shown that reconstruction fidelity alone cannot reliably select action representations for autoregressive control, motivating joint evaluation of geometric fidelity, sequence predictability, decoder stability, and closed-loop performance.

Robots operating safely in cluttered everyday environments often need to infer scene geometry from partial observations. Methods that detect objects in 2D and reconstruct them independently struggle in such scenes: a missed object is never reconstructed, a merged detection can fuse two objects, and separately reconstru...

Geometry-Change VLA (GC-VLA), which learns to predict multiview future-current geometry-change tokens from current observations and applies Geometry-Conditioned Residual Flow (GCRF), using a binary intervention router and a single bounded residual velocity policy learned from closed-loop feedback.

PROACT is introduced, a framework for human-robot collaborative transport that incorporates anticipation into compliant whole-body control through a learned model of human collaborative behavior, and transformer architecture distills collaborative behavior into predictions of future object motion.
Neural inertial odometry increasingly uses networks as learned measurements inside filtering pipelines. Such measurements should transform consistently under arbitrary IMU mounting conventions: their mean must transform as a vector, and their covariance must transform congruently as a second-order tensor. We present GI...

This minimal recurrent behavioral memory is characterized by a compatibility relation: under transitivity its classes attain the exact minimum, while the general case is an entropy minimization over closed compatible state assignments, with exact certificates on finite instances.
AgenticDiffusion is proposed, an agentic multi-view UAV navigation framework that semantically coordinates first-person-view and top-view observations for mission-level navigation that is robust to lexical variation in target descriptions.

A closed-loop framework for autonomous magnetic microrobot navigation that separates long-range geometric planning from short-range reactive control is presented, and a modular framework for autonomous magnetic microrobot navigation in complex biological environments is established.

Results show that structured agentic debugging can address a key cyber-physical integration bottleneck in real-world robot deployment, and are shown to be more complete and efficient recovery than human operators using Claude Code.

A new system identifies and corrects unreliable object descriptions stored in a robot’s memory, improving the robot’s ability to interact with its environment.
Robots are getting smarter, but how can their hardware match that growth? New Microsoft Research findings show that moving AI inference beyond the robot can improve task success, boost efficiency, and support more advanced physical AI workloads. The post Offloaded inference for real-world physical AI robotics appeared first on Microsoft Research.
