CRAFT: Adapting VLA Models to Contact-Rich Manipulation Via Force-Aware Curriculum Fine-Tuning

ICRA 2026poster

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have shown a strong capability in enabling robots to execute general instructions, yet they struggle with contact-rich manipulation tasks, where success requires precise alignment, stable contact maintenance,and effective handling of deformable objects. A fundamen…

Design and Control of a Soft Supernumerary Robotic Limb Based on Fiber-Reinforced Actuator

IROS 2024poster

Supernumerary robotic limbs (SRLs) provide additional wearable limbs to enhance the user’s physical abilities. Most SRLs employ rigid structures, resulting in uncomfortable wearing experience and insufficient flexible manipulation. As a new type of SRL, soft SRLs offer operational flexibility, light…
