Manipulation as in Simulation: Enabling Accurate Geometry Perception in Robots

ICLR 2026poster

Modern robotic manipulation primarily relies on visual observations in a 2D color space for skill learning but suffers from poor generalization. In contrast, humans, living in a 3D world, depend more on physical properties-such as distance, size, and shape-than on texture when interacting with objec…

Human-assisted Robotic Policy Refinement via Action Preference Optimization

NeurIPS 2025poster

Establishing a reliable and iteratively refined robotic system is essential for deploying real-world applications. While Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models are widely recognized as the foundation model for such robotic deployment, their reliance on offline expert demonstrations critically limi…

State Estimation Transformers for Agile Legged Locomotion

IROS 2024poster

We propose a state estimation method that can accurately predict the robot’s privileged states to push the limits of quadruped robots in executing advanced skills such as jumping in the wild. In particular, we present the State Estimation Transformers (SET), an architecture that casts the state esti…
