mimic-video: Video-Action Models for Generalizable Robot Control Beyond VLAs

RSS 2026poster

Prevailing Vision-Language-Action Models (VLAs) for robotic manipulation are built upon vision-language backbones pretrained on large-scale, but disconnected static web data. As a result, despite improved semantic generalization, the policy must implicitly infer complex physical dynamics and tempora…

Beyond Anthropomorphism: Enhancing Grasping and Eliminating a Degree of Freedom by Fusing the Abduction of Digits Four and Five

IROS 2025

This paper presents the SABD hand, a 16-degree-of-freedom (DoF) robotic hand that departs from purely anthropomorphic designs to achieve an expanded grasp envelope, enable manipulation poses beyond human capability, and reduce the required number of actuators. This is achieved by combining the adduc
