arXiv:2610.18188v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Learning robot policies from demonstrations is often limited by the cost of collecting diverse, high-quality expert data. While an appealing alternative is to expand a single successful demonstration into a diverse set of successful trajectories, existing augmentation methods typically rely on manually designed transformation rules or complex trajectory planning, requiring substantial task-specific engineering and human effort. We introduce OneDemo, a reinforcement learning framework that learns to edit a single successful demonstration for new task configurations. We formulate demonstration editing as a structured reinforcement learning problem, in which an editor learns, from sparse task-success rewards, both when to transition between object-centric trajectory segments and how to geometrically adapt each segment. The learned editor serves both as a task policy and as a reusable demonstration generator. Across 15 Meta-World tasks, OneDe

arXiv:2610.18167v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: End-to-end autonomous driving has achieved remarkable progress by planning trajectories directly from raw sensor data. Yet the step from planning to control still relies on hand-tuned tracking controllers that block the gradient path from vehicle motion back to the network. This gap stems from non-differentiable vehicle dynamics, aliased supervision from coarsely sampled expert labels, rate mismatch between high-rate control and low-rate re-planning, and vehicle model discrepancies between training and deployment. This paper proposes DIVA (Differentiable Identified Vehicle dynamics for end-to-end Autonomous driving) to close this gap. An identified actuator-level vehicle model is embedded in the training loop of the end-to-end driving network, forming a differentiable chain from perception to vehicle states. A learning-based control decoder replaces the external controller and is supervised on the rolled-out vehicle states, bypassing the

arXiv:2610.18163v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Robot manipulation policies trained through imitation learning commonly rely on costly demonstrations recorded in one task direction and at one temporal resolution. We propose Reversal and Stride-based Trajectory Augmentation (RESTA), which exploits time-scaling data augmentation to improve data efficiency through trajectory reversal and temporal resampling. Trajectory-reversal augmentation reverses and relabels demonstrations between paired tasks with opposite objectives, reusing recorded rollouts without additional environment interaction. Because contact-rich manipulation is not exactly reversible, we treat reversal as an approximate paired-task prior rather than a physical symmetry. Temporal-stride augmentation varies observation and action sampling strides and conditions the policy on the resulting offsets, enabling fixed or randomized temporal schedules. Experiments across 16 paired bimanual manipulation tasks show that trajectory r

arXiv:2610.18160v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Robotic harvesting of cherry tomatoes in greenhouses remains challenging due to dense fruit clusters, delicate skin, and the need for gentle yet effective detachment. This study presents a force-data-driven framework for autonomous cherry tomato harvesting that integrates six-axis force/torque sensing, a bio-inspired compliant gripper, and deployment on a mobile robotic platform. A wearable ATI six-axis force/torque sensor mounted on the index finger captured kinetic signatures of three elemental picking patterns (gripping, twisting, and lateral pulling) across 150 manual trials (50 per pattern) in laboratory and greenhouse settings. Gripping required a peak normal force of 3.92 and 0.45 N, twisting produced a dominant torque of 19.20 2.10 Nmm about the pedicel axis with minimal truss disturbance, and pure lateral pulling alone was insufficient for reliable detachment. These measurements informed a novel fingertip-localised Finray gripper

arXiv:2610.18147v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present a real-time framework for expressive legged locomotion that enables independent control over velocity and style. Unlike existing data-driven controllers, which typically require explicit style labels for training, our method efficiently leverages large-scale unstructured motion data and generalizes to unseen styles. We disentangle style from functional locomotion through a tailored sampling strategy used to train a style encoder whose output conditions an autoregressive diffusion model. During inference, the user provides a style reference clip and a joystick velocity command. The diffusion model then generates a kinematic reference tracked by a reinforcement learning controller. To improve user controllability and stylization strength, we propose an attention biasing mechanism and a velocity command correction strategy. We demonstrate our method on a physics-based humanoid character in simulation and on a physical robot, showc

arXiv:2610.18123v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Broadcast spraying remains the dominant method of disease control in greenhouse tomato production, yet it treats healthy and diseased tissue alike, exposes workers to hazardous aerosols, and depends on operator skill. This paper presents MARTS (Modular Agricultural Robot for Targeted Spraying), a low-cost robotic platform that closes the loop from plant-level disease detection to leaf-localised spray delivery in commercial greenhouses. MARTS integrates a Clearpath Husky A200 mobile base, a UR5 manipulator, a novel modular spraying end-effector built around a single 12 V micro-diaphragm pump, and a wrist-mounted Intel RealSense D435 RGB-D camera. Disease detection reuses our previously published Tomato Leaf Disease Vision Language Model (TLDVLM; Grounding DINO, SAM-2 and LoRA-tuned BLIP-2, 97.27% accuracy over 10 classes); this work focuses on actuation, control and system integration. A ROS pipeline lifts detections into 3D targets, gener

arXiv:2610.18118v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Visually similar actions can produce contact loss, jamming, slippage, or irreversible damage, while tactile feedback may arrive after a critical transition. Contact-rich manipulation therefore requires generative policies to anticipate and evaluate whether candidate actions will produce desirable contact outcomes, then adjust action generation before execution. We present ForeTac, a predictive contact-guidance framework organized as a represent-predict-evaluate-guide loop. ForeTac encodes the current tactile state, predicts the tactile consequences of a candidate action sequence, and evaluates the predicted trajectory using a contact-quality objective learned from successful and failed physical interactions. At deployment, its gradient propagates through the tactile predictor to guide action generation while the pretrained model parameters remain frozen. We evaluate ForeTac on four real-robot tasks (planar and curved-surface wiping, card

arXiv:2610.18093v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Wheel-legged robots operating in outdoor spaces shared with humans require accurate perception, socially compliant navigation, future-scene reasoning, and scene reconstruction. However, existing datasets typically support these capabilities in isolation and rarely provide dense spatial and behavior-level supervision on real wheel-legged platforms. We introduce LynxScenes, a large-scale real-world dataset and benchmark collected with a LYNX M20 wheel-legged robot. It contains approximately 100K 30-s navigation clips spanning 833.6 h and 3,294.7 km, with 3.0M annotated frames. The synchronized recordings include four fisheye cameras, dual LiDARs, IMU, odometry, and robot states. Annotations comprise 20.82M oriented 3D boxes across 27 categories, 13.89M road-structure annotations, and 20 navigation instructions organized into three layers and aligned with continuous future trajectories. LynxScenes supports four complementary tasks: instructi

arXiv:2610.18053v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: General-purpose robot manipulation policies learn short-horizon skills effectively, but degrade rapidly on long-horizon tasks. Existing benchmarks cannot isolate failures because task horizon is either too short or entangled with scene and object variations. We propose LADDER, a long-horizon robot manipulation benchmark scaling from 1 to 10 subgoals within the same environment over three suites (SimplerEnv-Long, RobotArena-$\infty$-Long, and RoboLab-Long), 145 tasks, eight categories, two embodiments, and 2,024 simulated episodes per system. We evaluate two orchestration paradigms: text subgoals for learned low-level policies (VoLo) and tool selection orchestration (CaP-X, GPT-Policy, PSP-Agent, TiPToP). Given the full instruction directly, low-level policies achieve 85.4% on single-subgoal tasks, but drop to near zero on extended tasks. While orchestration remedies this, it remains bounded by physical execution errors of the low-level po

arXiv:2610.18038v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: World action models (WAMs) built on pretrained video generation models adapt quickly to new robotic tasks, but they forget previously learned tasks under sequential fine-tuning. Experience replay (ER) mitigates such forgetting by rehearsing data of previous tasks, yet this data is often unavailable in robotics, where a policy is deployed as weights only and its training data is not shared along with it. In this work, we ask whether a WAM can achieve data-free continual learning by regenerating its own past. Our key observation is that a WAM can indeed autoregressively regenerate complete rollouts of previously learned tasks and replay them to mitigate forgetting. However, replaying such raw rollouts still lags far behind replaying real data, which we attribute to two issues. First, the WAM is unable to recognize task completion and keeps generating purposeless motion after the task is done. Second, under open-loop generation, the generate

arXiv:2610.17999v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Humanoid behavior foundation models (BFMs) enable diverse whole-body control, but adapting a pretrained controller to a new embodiment remains challenging because of kinematic and dynamic mismatch. We present TRACE, a framework for efficient cross-embodiment adaptation that preserves pretrained motion representations while specializing feedback control to the target robot.TRACE first injects kinematic priors into input and output projection layers and aligns nominal joint dynamics to reduce embodiment mismatch and support stable fine-tuning. It then combines encoder distillation with low-rank reinforcement learning on a compact, quality-screened motion set, using a two-phase curriculum to establish stable tracking before refining difficult motions. We apply TRACE to transfer SONIC from Unitree G1 to Unitree H2 using 10 million motion frames and approximately eight hours of training on a single RTX PRO 6000 GPU, at less than 0.1% of the GP

arXiv:2610.17983v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models, such as $\pi_{0.5}$, have demonstrated impressive generalization capabilities by scaling behavior cloning across massive datasets. However, these models frequently suffer from distributional convergence, a phenomenon where the policy regresses to "safe" but suboptimal mean behaviors due to mode averaging in the training data. This often results in generic grasp strategies, Convergent Defaults, that fail in constrained or long-tail scenarios. In this work, we propose a novel framework to identify and correct these behaviors without parameter updates. We introduce a three-stage methodology: (1) Probing for Defaults, identifying task-specific mode collapse; (2) Diagnostic Root Cause Analysis, utilizing the VLA's latent reasoning capabilities to verbalize the logic behind suboptimal actions; and (3) Structured Guidance Injection, where concrete, distinct alternatives are encoded into reusable "Lens

arXiv:2610.17977v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-horizon robotic manipulation requires robust execution over sequences of interdependent actions. Existing methods typically handle execution deviations by replanning the remaining action chunk or correcting actions step by step as new observations arrive. However, a local deviation may affect only a few actions under distribution shift, yet replanning regenerates the entire chunk from an unfamiliar state, potentially introducing errors into otherwise valid actions. Step-wise correction may react too late, as it does not explicitly anticipate how the deviation affects subsequent actions. We propose ReEnvision, a future-guided selective action repair framework that updates a joint future-action belief using execution feedback. It then learns how the resulting belief revision affects each unexecuted action. The resulting belief revision enables selective repair of only the affected actions within a cached action chunk, preserving valid

arXiv:2610.17930v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Unknown payloads alter robot dynamics and make precise contact execution difficult when foothold margins are small. We present LOAD, a perceptive locomotion framework that combines explicit inertial estimates with implicit dynamics features for narrow-beam traversal. Separate recurrent modules infer torso inertial changes and task-relevant history from proprioception, while a height-map teacher is distilled into a depth-based student. We extensively evaluate LOAD and its variants in simulation and on hardware across beam widths and payload configurations. The results show that implicit dynamics features accelerate training, while explicit inertial estimation further improves traversal success; combining both enables LOAD to approach the performance of a privileged policy supplied with ground-truth inertial parameters. Hardware experiments demonstrate traversal with unilateral payloads of 6 kg on a 10 cm beam and 9 kg on a 15 cm beam, and

arXiv:2610.17922v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Action-conditioned world models can reduce costly real-robot interaction in reinforcement learning for Vision-Language-Action models (VLA-RL), but hallucinations can mislead policy optimization. Extending them to richer VLA interfaces and long-horizon tasks raises challenges in spatiotemporal and cross-modal consistency, exploration-reliability balance in RL, and compounding rollout errors. We present WoVR+, extending WoVR's hallucination-aware WM-RL framework by redesigning the learned environment and imagined interaction protocol: A VLA-interface-aligned world model provides multi-view prediction and proprioceptive updates while mitigating hallucinations. Chunk-wise noise preserves flow-based policy exploration while limiting prediction-degrading action jitter. For long-horizon tasks, stage-local imagined training combines stage-entry resets, stage-specific rewards, local horizons, and controllable sampling to shorten generated prefixes
