COBALT: Crowdsourcing Robot Learning Via Cloud-Based Teleoperation with Smartphones

ICRA 2026poster

The scarcity of large-scale, high-quality demonstration data remains a bottleneck in scaling imitation learning for robotic manipulation. We present COBALT, a teleoperation platform designed to democratize robot learning at scale both in simulation and in the real world. By leveraging vectorized env…

Contact-Anchored Policies: Contact Conditioning Creates Strong Robot Utility Models

RSS 2026poster

The prevalent paradigm in robot learning attempts to generalize across environments, embodiments, and tasks with language prompts at runtime. A fundamental tension limits this approach: language is often too abstract to guide the concrete physical understanding required for robust manipulation. In t…

MolmoSpaces: Large-Scale Open Ecosystem for Robot Manipulation and Navigation

RSS 2026poster

Deploying robots at scale demands robustness to the long tail of everyday situations. The countless variations in scene layout, object geometry, and task specifications that characterize real environments are vast and underrepresented in existing robot benchmarks. Measuring this level of generalizat…
