Real-world robot learning is constrained by the cost of collecting experience and evaluating candidate behaviors. Video generation models offer a scalable foundation for visual simulators that predict action outcomes before physical execution.
We study robotic in-context learning (ICL), an emerging paradigm that enables robots to infer and execute tasks from visual demonstrations. Despite its growing promise, the problem itself remains under-defined: a visual demonstration simultaneously conveys action trajectories, object semantics, manipulation affordances, spatial relations, and task goals, making it unclear what information the robot is actually expected to follow.
Encore ist ein in einem arXiv-Preprint beschriebenes Framework, das teleoperierte Demonstrationen in eine abfragbare Beweisstruktur destilliert und einen Coding-Agenten daraus iterativ ein eingefrorenes Roboterprogramm entwickeln lässt. Über 60 LIBERO-PRO-Perturbationszellen mit je 50 versiegelten Episoden erreicht das Programm mit drei Demonstrationen 96,3 % Erfolg, ohne Demonstrationen 94,9 %; auf einem realen bimanualen Roboter erzielen zwei Aufgaben jeweils 9 von 10 menschlich bewerteten Versuchen. Der Ansatz zählt, weil er den Nutzen weniger Demonstrationen für die agentische Programmsuche quantifiziert und das eingefrorene Programm ohne Sprachmodell zur Laufzeit auskommt.
While contact-rich manipulation requires deliberate regulation of interaction forces, recent approaches to robot manipulation learning predominantly represent actions as target positions or poses. Even methods that incorporate force sensing either use it solely as an observation or, when predicting forces as part of the output, rely on a hybrid force controller.
Vision-language models can coordinate long-horizon robot manipulation, yet successful task reasoning still depends on whether local physical interactions produce the intended effects. We study how repeated interaction can improve this capability without updating the base model.
When interacting with an unfamiliar deformable material, a robot lacks prior knowledge of its physical properties and how it will respond to applied forces and motion. Rapid online identification is therefore essential for reliable manipulation.
Robotic foundation models (RFMs) are increasingly capable of general-purpose manipulation, yet reliable physical interaction remains challenging in contact-rich settings. We present FP2, a lightweight downstream interface that equips task-adapted RFMs with explicit force control while preserving their action-generation capability.
