Scalable and reproducible policy evaluation has been a long-standing challenge in robot learning: evaluations are critical to assess progress and build better policies, but evaluation in the real world, especially at a scale that would provide statistically reliable results, is costly in terms of hu…
In this work, we unlock new capabilities in robot learning from neural trajectories, synthetic robot data generated from video world models. Our proposed recipe is simple, but powerful: we take the most recent state-of-the-art video generative models (world models), adapt them to the target robot em…
We introduce **F**uture **LA**tent **R**presentation Alignm**E**nt (**FLARE**), a novel framework that integrates predictive world modeling into robot policy learning. By aligning features from a diffusion transformer with latent embeddings of future observations, **FLARE** enables a diffusion trans…
We present ForceSight, a system for text-guided mobile manipulation that predicts visual-force goals using a text-conditioned vision transformer. Given a single RGBD image and a text prompt, ForceSight determines a target end-effector pose in the camera frame (kinematic goal) and the associated forc…
Large policies pretrained on diverse robot datasets have the potential to transform robotic learning: instead of training new policies from scratch, such generalist robot policies may be finetuned with only a little in-domain data, yet generalize broadly. However, to be widely applicable across a ra…
In recent years, significant progress has been made in the field of robotic reinforcement learning (RL), enabling methods that handle complex image observations, train in the real world, and incorporate auxiliary data, such as demonstrations and prior experience. However, despite these advances, rob…
Physical therapy (PT) is a key component of many rehabilitation regimens, such as treatments for Parkinson’s disease (PD). However, there are shortages of physical therapists and adherence to self-guided PT is low. Robots have the potential to support physical therapists and increase adherence to se…
