Despite recent efforts to collect multi-task or multiembodiment datasets, to design efficient recipes for training Vision-Language-Action models (VLAs), and to showcase these models on selected robot platforms, generalist robot capabilities and cross-embodiment transfer remain largely elusive ideals…
Whole-arm manipulation involves direct contact with the environment while the robot completes a task by distributing contact across multiple links as contacts form, slide, and break. This setting breaks common implicit assumptions in many learning-based manipulation pipelines: arm configuration tigh…
Many robot caregiving tasks, such as bathing, dressing, and transferring, require a robot arm to make contact with a human body at multiple points rather than solely at the end effector. However, varied human touch preferences can lead to unsafe or uncomfortable multi-contact interactions. To addres…
LiDAR is an essential sensor for intelligent vehicles. Recently, LiDARs used in vehicles produced by different companies have significant differences in their scanning patterns. Some vehicles use mechanical and solid-state (repetitive) LiDARs, while others use prism-based (non-repetitive) LiDARs. Th…
