Focus-Then-Contact: Speeding Up Robotic Contact-Rich Task Learning with Affordance-Guided Real-World Residual Reinforcement Learning

ICML 2026poster

Real-World Reinforcement Learning (RL) has shown significant potential in robotic manipulation tasks. However, many methods still require substantial human-in-the-loop involvement to complete contact-rich tasks, especially when there are disruptions such as visual backgrounds or positional changes. …

From Reaction to Anticipation: Proactive Failure Recovery through Agentic Task Graph for Robotic Manipulation

RSS 2026poster

Recent advances in robotic manipulation remain hindered by the inevitability of task failures, particularly in dynamic and unstructured environments. To handle such failure, existing frameworks typically follow a stepwise detect–reason–recover pipeline, which often incurs high latency and limited ro…

SignBot: Learning Human-To-Humanoid Sign Language Interaction

ICRA 2026poster

Sign language is a natural and visual form of language that uses movements and expressions to convey meaning, serving as a crucial means of communication for individuals who are deaf or hard-of-hearing (DHH). However, the number of people proficient in sign language remains limited, highlighting the…

Modelling Competitive Behaviors in Autonomous Driving Under Generative World Model

ECCV 2024poster

"Modeling the trajectories of intelligent vehicles is an essential component of a traffic-simulating system. However, such trajectory predictors are typically trained to imitate the movements of human drivers. The imitation models often fall short of capturing safety-critical events residing in the…

Multi-Modal Inverse Constrained Reinforcement Learning from a Mixture of Demonstrations

NeurIPS 2023poster

Inverse Constraint Reinforcement Learning (ICRL) aims to recover the underlying constraints respected by expert agents in a data-driven manner. Existing ICRL algorithms typically assume that the demonstration data is generated by a single type of expert. However, in practice, demonstrations often co…
