Agentic RSR: Real-to-Sim-to-Real through Scene Reconstruction and Execution-Grounded Robot Policies

Abstract

A simulation of a real robot workspace must preserve task-relevant interactions, while policies developed in it must operate on observations available to the real robot. Yet scene reconstruction and policy development are often treated separately. We present Agentic Real-to-Sim-to-Real (Agentic RSR), a framework that links scene reconstruction, policy development, and real-robot execution through the same manipulation task. Given a workspace video, a task description, and a known robot model, an agent recovers metric scale, iteratively refines the scene using visual feedback, and checks task-relevant interactions in MuJoCo. A coding agent then develops an executable policy, progressing from privileged object poses to visual observations and randomized simulation. The policy can interleave multiple observations and actions within one invocation, while the agent uses execution feedback to continue, retry, or revise its approach. A shared task-level interface carries the policy and accumulated experience to the real robot, where fresh observations and safety checks guide execution. Across 18 reconstructed scenes involving two robots, the mean four-view Depth MAE against reference depth estimates is 0.1057 m, the mean Lab $ΔE_{76}$ is 11.04, and the mean grayscale SSIM is 0.6990. In real-robot experiments, the aggregate task success rate reaches 80% of the simulation task success rate, indicating substantial retention of simulated performance on hardware. Code and reconstructed scene data will be made publicly available.

The Kinetics Observer: A Tightly Coupled Estimator for Legged Robots

This paper presents the Kinetics Observer, a novel proprioceptive state estimator for legged robots designed to provide the feedback required for versatile locomotion and physical interaction with the environment, with enhanced robustness to contact slippage. Its core contribution is a tight coupling between whole-body kinematics and external wrenches through a contact dynamics model, enabling the consistent fusion of leg kinematics, IMU, and wrench sensor measurements for real-time joint estimation of centroidal kinematics, contact rest poses, contact wrenches, and disturbance wrenches. By exploiting contact wrench measurements as correction terms, the proposed observer increases sensing redundancy, which provides observability of contact slippage relative to the centroid frame and enhanced robustness to modeling and sensor errors. The approach is experimentally evaluated on two humanoid robots across three scenarios totaling thirteen walking sequences, including long-distance walking with repeated contact changes, locomotion over slippery obstacles, and non-coplanar multicontact motion.

RoboAug: One Annotation to Hundreds of Scenes via Region-Contrastive Data Augmentation for Robotic Manipulation

Enhancing the generalization of robotic learning in diverse unseen environments remains a fundamental challenge. Existing approaches often rely on large-scale pretraining, which is labor-intensive and time-consuming, or semantic data augmentation methods that assume flawless upstream object detection in real-world scenarios. In this work, we propose RoboAug, a novel generative data augmentation framework that reduces reliance on large-scale pretraining and perfect visual recognition by requiring only a single image with bounding box annotations for dataset construction. Leveraging this minimal supervision, RoboAug employs pretrained generative models for precise semantic augmentation and introduces a plug-and-play region-contrastive loss to guide attention toward task-relevant regions, thereby enhancing generalization and task success rates. Extensive real-world experiments on UR-5e, AgileX, and Tian Gong 2.0 demonstrate that RoboAug consistently outperforms state-of-the-art augmentation baselines under background, distractor, and lighting shifts.

ActionCodec: What Makes for Good Action Tokenizers

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models leveraging the native autoregressive paradigm of Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have demonstrated superior instruction-following and training efficiency. Central to this paradigm is action tokenization, yet its design has primarily focused on reconstruction fidelity, failing to address its direct impact on VLA optimization. Consequently, the fundamental question of \textit{what makes for good action tokenizers} remains unanswered. In this paper, we bridge this gap by establishing design principles specifically from the perspective of VLA optimization. We identify a set of best practices based on information-theoretic insights, including maximized temporal token overlap, minimized vocabulary redundancy, enhanced multimodal mutual information, and token independence. Guided by these principles, we introduce \textbf{ActionCodec}, a high-performance action tokenizer that significantly enhances both training efficiency and VLA performance across diverse simulation and real-world benchmarks. Notably, on LIBERO, a SmolVLM2-2.2B fine-tuned with ActionCodec achieves a 95.5\% success rate without any robotics pre-training. With advanced architectural enhancements, this reaches 97.4\%, representing a new SOTA for VLA models without robotics pre-training. We believe our established design principles, alongside the released model, will provide a clear roadmap for the community to develop more effective action tokenizers.
