PolaRiS: Scalable Real-to-Sim Evaluations for Generalist Robot Policies

RSS 2026poster

A significant challenge for robot learning research is our ability to accurately measure and compare the performance of robot policies. Benchmarking in robotics is historically challenging due to the stochasticity, reproducibility, and time-consuming nature of real-world rollouts. This challenge is …

π∗0.6π0.6∗\pi^{*}_{0.6}: a VLA That Learns From Experience

RSS 2026poster

Vision–language–action (VLA) models offer a promising path toward general-purpose robots, but achieving the reliability and speed required for practical deployment remains challenging. We present a general-purpose method, RL with Experience and Corrections via Advantage-conditioned Policies (RECAP) …

From Imitation to Refinement - Residual Rl for Precise Assembly

ICRA 2025

Recent advances in Behavior Cloning (BC) have made it easy to teach robots new tasks. However, we find that the ease of teaching comes at the cost of unreliable performance that saturates with increasing data for tasks requiring precision. The performance saturation can be attributed to two critical
