Contact-rich motion planning (CRMP) is essential for robotic manipulation and locomotion, yet remains computationally challenging due to combinatorial contact decisions. Existing methods typically avoid broad evaluation of contact-mode sequences through search heuristics or optimization reformulations. We revisit broad...
FIND is introduced, an agentic real-world RL framework that closes the loop between scene understanding, weakness-aware practice, self-evaluation, and policy improvement in a persistent workspace and reframes autonomous practice as a scene-conditioned, performance-aware task-selection problem.

SteinSQP (Stein Variational Sequential Quadratic Programming), a constrained Stein variational inference method for diverse feasible robot motion sampling, shows faster and more robust ensemble convergence in terms of iterations, improves particle-wise feasibility, and achieves faster batched time-to-solution on challe...
