HAND Me the Data: Fast Robot Adaptation Via Hand Path Retrieval

ICRA 2026poster

We present HAND, a simple and time-efficient method for teaching robots new manipulation tasks through human hand demonstrations. Instead of relying on task-specific robot demonstrations collected via teleoperation, HAND uses easy-to-provide hand demonstrations to retrieve relevant behaviors from ta…

PEEK: Guiding and Minimal Image Representations for Zero-Shot Generalization of Robot Manipulation Policies

ICRA 2026poster

Robotic manipulation policies often fail to generalize because they must simultaneously learn where to attend, what actions to take, and how to execute them. We argue that high-level reasoning about where and what can be offloaded to vision-language models (VLMs), leaving policies to specialize in h…
