Scaling Laws for Robot Data: Predicting Success Before Training
How much data, of what quality, before a policy works? Nobody can predict it yet.
From Crumpled to Folded, and Fast: Vision Language Action Policies
Folding works from a flat shirt, breaks from a crumpled one, and takes four times longer than a human.
Language Models as Robot Operators
A frontier model has never seen our hardware, yet with the right tools it can operate it.
Superhuman-Speed Imitation Learning for Robotic Manipulation
Behaviour cloning inherits the demonstrator's pace, so the task gets done but never quickly.
Active Perception with Viewpoint Memory for Robotic Manipulation
A robot fails as soon as what it needs is out of view.
Building an MRI with a Robot: Automated Magnet Assembly for Low-Field MRI
Our low-field MRI holds thousands of magnets, each pressed in by hand; build the robot cell that does it instead.
Specialize without Forgetting: Retaining Generalist Skills in Fine-Tuned VLAs
Fine-tune a VLA for one task and it forgets the others.
Sim-to-Real Dexterous Manipulation from Vision and Proprioception
Contact-rich skills now transfer from simulation, but mostly with force sensors the real arm lacks.
