Beyond the End-Effector: Learning Whole-Arm Contact Manipulation from Human Demonstrations

WACL is proposed, a hierarchical framework that describes each whole-arm contact task with three robot-agnostic representations and hands them to a quasi-static surface-contact optimizer: semantic keypoints that summarize the scene, a reference contact trajectory that specifies where and how the arm presses on the obje...

Reward-DAgger: Robot-Gated Interactive Imitation Learning with General-Purpose Progress-Based Reward Models

Recent advances in robot learning have enabled generalist control policies capable of completing a wide range of tasks. However, their performance degrades when deployed in unseen environments, making it critical to detect failures and teach recovery behaviors. Existing runtime monitoring methods often require task- an...

Video2STL: Grounding VLM-Generated Temporal Specifications for Robot Learning

Video2STL is presented, a framework that converts observation-only videos into parametric Signal Temporal Logic (STL) specifications and uses the resulting formal representation for robot learning, and supports cross-embodiment transfer from human or animal videos to robot control.

From LLM-Generated Specifications to Learned Quadruped Locomotion

This work studies whether large language models (LLMs) can fill this gap by generating Parametric Signal Temporal Logic (PSTL) specifications that are subsequently used for policy learning, and instantiate the parameters of the generated PSTL templates using expert trajectories and retain only specifications that are c...

Subspace Inference Enables Efficient Active Reward Learning from Preferences

Reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) has emerged as a powerful yet sample-inefficient approach for learning reward models from human preferences, making active learning a critical component in synthesizing informative preference queries. However, effective uncertainty quantification required for active lea...
