TMRL bridges behavioral cloning pretraining and RL finetuning via diffusion noise and timestep modulation to enable controlled exploration, improving sample efficiency and enabling real-world robot training in under one hour.
RL Token enables sample-efficient online RL fine-tuning of large VLAs, delivering up to 3x speed gains and higher success rates on real-robot manipulation tasks within minutes to hours.
A learning-augmented robotic system automated deformable cable insertion and soldering on a live electric-motor production line for 5 hours 10 minutes, producing 108 motors at 99.4% pass rate with under 20 minutes of real-world data per task and no physical fencing.
MoRI dynamically mixes RL and IL experts with variance-based switching and IL regularization to reach 97.5% success in four real-world robotic tasks while cutting human intervention by 85.8%.
SimDist pretrains world models in simulation and adapts them to real-world robots by updating only the latent dynamics model, enabling rapid improvement on contact-rich tasks where prior methods fail.
A unified parameter space and canonical URDF enable cross-embodiment dexterous grasping policies with 81.9% zero-shot success on unseen hands like the 3-finger LEAP Hand.
RISE combines a controllable dynamics model and progress value model into a closed-loop self-improving pipeline that updates robot policies entirely in imagination, reporting over 35% absolute gains on three real-world tasks.
TwinRL expands RL exploration via digital twin reconstruction and twin RL warm-up to guide real-world learning, reaching near-100% success with 20 minutes of on-robot time across four tasks.
RECAP enables a generalist VLA to self-improve via advantage-conditioned RL on mixed real-world data, more than doubling throughput and halving failure rates on hard manipulation tasks.
HandelBot refines simulation policies via physical rollouts and residual RL to achieve precise bimanual piano playing, outperforming direct sim transfer by 1.8x with only 30 minutes of real data across five songs.
