This technical report presents the champion solution of the Table Service Track in the ICRA 2025 What Bimanuals Can Do (WBCD) competition. We tackled a series of demanding tasks under strict requirements for speed, precision, and reliability: unfolding a tablecloth (deformable-object manipulation), placing a pizza into the container (pick-and-place), and opening and closing a food container with the lid. Our solution combines VR-based teleoperation and Learning from Demonstrations (LfD) to balance robustness and autonomy. Most subtasks were executed through high-fidelity remote teleoperation, while the pizza placement was handled by an ACT-based policy trained from 100 in-person teleoperated demonstrations with randomized initial configurations. By carefully integrating scoring rules, task characteristics, and current technical capabilities, our approach achieved both high efficiency and reliability, ultimately securing the first place in the competition.

  1. RaC: Robot Learning for Long-Horizon Tasks by Scaling Recovery and Correction

    cs.RO 2025-09 conditional novelty 5.0

    Robot policies trained on human interventions that rewind to a familiar state and then correct the mistake achieve higher long-horizon success and better data efficiency than imitation on full demonstrations alone.
