Any4D: Unified Feed-Forward Metric 4D Reconstruction

CVPR 2026

We present Any4D, a scalable multi-view transformer for metric-scale, dense feed-forward 4D reconstruction. Any4D directly generates per-pixel motion and geometry predictions for N frames, in contrast to prior work that typically focuses on either 2-view dense scene flow or sparse 3D point tracking.

Dexterity from Smart Lenses: Multi-Fingered Robot Manipulation with In-The-Wild Human Demonstrations

ICRA 2026poster

Learning multi-fingered robot policies from humans performing daily tasks in natural environments has long been a grand goal in the robotics community. Achieving this would mark significant progress toward generalizable robot manipulation in human environments, as it would reduce the reliance on lab…

TactAlign: Human-to-Robot Policy Transfer via Tactile Alignment

RSS 2026poster

Human demonstrations collected by wearable devices (e.g., tactile gloves) provide fast and dexterous supervision for policy learning, and are guided by rich, natural tactile feedback. However, a key challenge is how to transfer human-collected tactile signals to robots despite the differences in sen…

DexterityGen: Foundation Controller for Unprecedented Dexterity

RSS 2025poster

Teaching robots dexterous manipulation skills, such as tool use, presents a significant challenge. Current approaches can be broadly categorized into two strategies: human teleoperation (for imitation learning) and sim-to-real reinforcement learning. The first approach is difficult as it is hard fo…

Self-supervised perception for tactile skin covered dexterous hands

CoRL 2025poster

We present PercepSkin, a pre-trained encoder for magnetic skin sensors distributed across the fingertips, phalanges, and palm of a dexterous robot hand. Magnetic tactile skins offer a flexible form factor for hand-wide coverage with fast response times, in contrast to vision-based tactile sensors t…

Tactile Beyond Pixels: Multisensory Touch Representations for Robot Manipulation

CoRL 2025oral

We present TacX, the first multisensory touch representations across four tactile modalities: image, audio, motion, and pressure. Trained on ~1M contact-rich interactions collected with the Digit 360 sensor, TacX captures complementary touch signals at diverse temporal and spatial scales. By leverag…

Sparsh: Self-supervised touch representations for vision-based tactile sensing

CoRL 2024poster

In this work, we introduce general purpose touch representations for the increasingly accessible class of vision-based tactile sensors. Such sensors have led to many recent advances in robot manipulation as they markedly complement vision, yet solutions today often rely on task and sensor specific h…

Learned Depth Estimation of 3D Imaging Radar for Indoor Mapping

IROS 2022poster

3D imaging radar offers robust perception capability through visually demanding environments due to the unique penetrative and reflective properties of millimeter waves (mmWave). Current approaches for 3D perception with imaging radar require knowledge of environment geometry, accumulation of data f…
