RoboBugBench: Benchmarking Automated Repair of Real Robot Software Under an Audited Behavioral Oracle
Language agents increasingly modify robot software, but whether they can repair it is unmeasured, because the domain supplies no oracle to inherit: a robot bug manifests as behavior, and robot…LABIT: Long-Horizon Robotic Assembly Benchmark for Industrial Tasks
Robot learning has undergone significant advancements in the domain of compliant control and robotic assembly.Recovering from Pose-Selection Failures in Repeated Visual Localization
Repetitive structures can give an incorrect pose candidate more inlier support than an accurate one, causing visual localization to select it.Estimating the Causal Impact of Social Navigation Signals in Corridor Scenarios
Deploying robots in human-shared environments requires deciding not only how to navigate, but also when dedicated social signals are worth emitting.SHOES: Sim-to-real Hardware-adaptation via On-policy Expansion of Skills for Legged Robots
Humans expand their locomotion capability by wearing appropriate footwear, such as hiking boots for mountains or skates for ice.DeTac: Dual-branch Decoupling of Texture and Force Signals in Vision-Based Tactile Sensors
Vision-based tactile sensors enable fine-grained perception for dexterous robotic manipulation, but current marker-based designs tightly couple surface texture and contact force signals within a…Trust-Calibrated VLA Policy Post-Training with Evolving Imagination
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models are often pretrained via imitation learning, making reinforcement learning (RL) post-training important when deployment moves beyond demonstration coverage.Learning Reachability-Based Safety Representations for Real-Time Robot Navigation in Unknown and Dynamic Environments
Safe robot navigation in unknown, dynamic environments requires more than geometric collision checking: a robot still far from an obstacle may be unable to avoid it because of its speed…Aerodynamic Promptness of Tilting-Propeller Multirotors
This work develops a geometric theory of aerodynamic promptness for multirotor platforms whose propeller directions depend on a smooth orientation-mechanism configuration.G$^2$WAM: World Action Models for Efficient and Geometry Grounded Image-Goal Navigation
World models capture environment dynamics and support counterfactual reasoning for planning.VLA-GAUGE: Systematically Evaluating Generalization and Robustness in Vision-Language-Action Models
Vision-Language-Action models (VLAs) have achieved high success rates on familiar manipulation tasks, yet it remains unclear whether such scores reflect genuine zero-shot generalization and…DEFlow: Deep Equilibrium Flow Maximum-Entropy Reinforcement Learning
Expressive flow policies can represent multiple high-value actions, but sampling them with few integration steps while retaining tractable action densities remains challenging.Design and Analysis of a Nonlinear Parallel Mechanism Coupling for Dynamic Humanoid Legs
Humanoids increasingly demand lightweight leg mechanisms for agile, dynamic, and energy-efficient locomotion.DR-APO: Decoupled-Representation Advantage-Guided Policy Optimization from Continuous Control to Embodied Navigation
Policy representations in reinforcement learning have expanded beyond Gaussian policies to diffusion and flow-matching based generative policies.Language2Drive: Do Vision-Language-Action Models Really Follow the Instructions in Autonomous Driving?
Recent Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models increasingly use natural-language instructions to condition autonomous driving behavior.What Limits Cross-Task Generalization in World Action Models?
Cross-task generalization remains difficult for world action models (WAMs), even when their predicted futures depict plausible manipulation.FEM-Validated Real-Time Modelling of Soft Tactile Deformation
Accurate modelling of soft tactile sensors remains difficult because finite element methods (FEM) are computa- tionally expensive, while real-time simulators often lack fidelity for hyperelastic…Belief Space Planning for Risk Signal Temporal Logic via Mixed-Integer Convex Programming
Signal Temporal Logic (STL) specifies robot tasks with spatio-temporal requirements, and its robustness semantics allow planning by trajectory optimization.CopyQuad: Quadrupedal Skill Transfer from a Single Side-View Video Without a Depth Model
Video-to-robot pipelines for quadrupedal imitation insert a learned lifting stage, either a monocular depth model or a per-clip 3D reconstruction, to recover the one axis a side-view camera cannot…Human-Like Redundancy Resolution for Real-Time Bimanual Humanoid Teleoperation
Real-time bimanual humanoid teleoperation requires accurate wrist tracking while keeping arm configurations predictable.
