Point and Pick: Bounding-Box Conditioned Diffusion Policies and Offline RL for Target-Specific Robot Manipulation

· 0 citations · 12 references

TL;DR

The main hypothesis was that a lightweight task-specific diffusion policy, explicitly grounded by a visual bounding-box prompt, could outperform text-only VLA prompting for fine-grained target selection, and that offline RL could further improve robustness beyond imitation learning (IL).

VLEG: Embodied Vision-Language Grasping for a Quadruped Manipulator

This paper presents VLEG, an embodied vision-language grasping framework for quadruped manipulators that explicitly incorporates body motion into grasp decision making and guides the robot to continuously adjust its body pose during approach and optimize local observations before grasping, thereby improving perception...

One Demonstration, Many Objects: Generalizing Manipulation via Local Contact Geometry

DemoMimic (Dexterous Motion Mimic), a policy that manipulates objects by focusing on their geometry local to the contact points to improve sim-to-real consistency, yielding a single real-world policy that transfers across objects of varying shape, scale, mass, and friction wherever local contact structure is preserved.

Facet-0: A Robotic Foundation Model for Contact-Rich Precise Manipulation

Facet-0 unifies multimodal representation learning and reinforcement learning post-training around a joint action-wrench proposal, which reaches 82% mean success on five sub-millimeter computer-assembly tasks, compared with 15% for the strongest baseline.

Embodying Multi-Hand Manipulation Policies by Searching the Assignment and Null Spaces

This work proposes a search-based framework that is theoretically complete for grounding policy-generated multi-hand trajectories onto physical multi-arm systems, and explicitly searches over both the discrete assignment of trajectories to arms and the continuous Jacobian null spaces of redundant manipulators.
