We introduce an elastic-driven self-folding approach that fabricates robots directly from flat 3D-printed conductive PLA nets. Elastic bands routed through printed hooks store energy that folds the sheet into programmed 3D geometries, while the flat state allows accurate placement of electronics and…
LLM-based multi-agent systems excel at planning, tool use, and role coordination, but their openness and interaction complexity also expose them to jailbreak and adversarial collaboration. Existing defenses fall into two lines: (i) self-verification that asks each agent to pre-filter unsafe instruct…
Text-to-Video (T2V) generation has advanced greatly, yet maintaining consistency remains challenging, especially for tuning-free long video generation. We attribute the consistency problem to cumulative deviations for long video generation at three levels: the random noise lacking correlation resu
Garment manipulation has attracted increasing attention due to its critical role in home-assistant robotics. However, the majority of existing garment manipulation works assume an initial state consisting of only one garment, while piled garments are far more common in real-world settings. To bridge…
Articulated object manipulation is essential for various real-world robotic tasks, yet generalizing across diverse objects remains a major challenge. A key to generalization lies in understanding functional parts (e.g., door handles and knobs), which indicate where and how to manipulate across diver…
Shape assembly, the process of combining parts into a complete whole, is a crucial skill for robots with broad real-world applications. Among the various assembly tasks, geometric assembly—where broken parts are reassembled into their original form (e.g., reconstructing a shattered bowl)—is particul…
Imitation learning has been proven effective in mimicking demonstrations across various robotic manipulation tasks. However, to develop robust policies, current imitation methods, such as diffusion policy, require training on extensive demonstrations, making data collection labor-intensive. In contr
Data scaling and standardized evaluation benchmarks have driven remarkable advances in natural language processing and computer vision. However, in robotics, scaling up data and establishing evaluation protocols pose significant challenges. Directly collecting real-world data is inefficient and reso…
In our daily life, cluttered objects are everywhere, from scattered stationery and books cluttering the table to bowls and plates filling the kitchen sink. Retrieving a target object from clutters is an essential while challenging skill for robots, for the difficulty of safely manipulating an object…
Manipulating garments and fabrics has long been a critical endeavor in the development of home-assistant robots. However, due to complex dynamics and topological structures, garment manipulations pose significant challenges. Recent successes in reinforcement learning and vision-based methods offer p…
Garment manipulation (e.g. unfolding folding and hanging clothes) is essential for future robots to accomplish home-assistant tasks while highly challenging due to the diversity of garment configurations geometries and deformations. Although able to manipulate similar shaped garments in a certain ta…
Articulated object manipulation is a fundamental yet challenging task in robotics. Due to significant geometric and semantic variations across object categories, previous manipulation models struggle to generalize to novel categories. Few-shot learning is a promising solution for alleviating this is…
