Abstracting Robot Manipulation Skills via Mixture-of-Experts Diffusion Policies
Skill Mixture-of-Experts Policy (SMP)—a diffusion mixture-of-experts policy that learns a compact orthogonal skill basis and uses sticky routing for scalable, efficient multi-task manipulation.
Octopi: Object Property Reasoning with Large Tactile-Language Models
We introduce PhysiCLeaR, an annotated dataset of everyday objects and tactile readings collected from a Gelsight Mini sensor, as well as Octopi, a system that leverages both tactile representation learning and large vision-language models to perform physical reasoning and inference, given tactile videos of multiple objects.
Don’t Start from Scratch: Behavioral Refinement via Interpolant-based Policy Diffusion
We develop interpolant policies that leverage informative source distributions for imitation learning.

SkillVLA: Tackling Combinatorial Diversity in Dual-Arm Manipulation via Skill Reuse
A dual-arm manipulation framework that enables skill reuse—recomposing learned single-arm skills into novel left–right pairings to tackle combinatorial diversity.
CAR Guidance: Staying On-Manifold under Compositional Rewards
We introduce a plug-and-play module that corrects off-manifold drift when guiding flow models with multiple rewards at inference time.
Heterogeneous Tactile Transformer (HTT)
A self-supervised tactile backbone that learns shared representations across heterogeneous tactile sensors, boosting perception and contact-rich manipulation—even with sensors unseen during pretraining.
