Focus-Then-Contact: Speeding Up Robotic Contact-Rich Task Learning with Affordance-Guided Real-World Residual Reinforcement Learning

ICML 2026poster

Real-World Reinforcement Learning (RL) has shown significant potential in robotic manipulation tasks. However, many methods still require substantial human-in-the-loop involvement to complete contact-rich tasks, especially when there are disruptions such as visual backgrounds or positional changes. …

From Reaction to Anticipation: Proactive Failure Recovery through Agentic Task Graph for Robotic Manipulation

RSS 2026poster

Recent advances in robotic manipulation remain hindered by the inevitability of task failures, particularly in dynamic and unstructured environments. To handle such failure, existing frameworks typically follow a stepwise detect–reason–recover pipeline, which often incurs high latency and limited ro…
