Abstract

We devise a dual-arm cooperative planning framework for wiping table surface in the presence of scattered objects. Unlike conventional surface-cleaning strategies that only cover free areas and detour around obstacles, our framework explicitly assigns one arm to rearrange objects while the other performs coverage wiping, thereby enabling access to previously obstructed regions. Specifically, we first construct a set of wiping and object-rearrangement action primitives. Based on these primitives, we introduce Geo-MILP, a geometry-aware task planner formulated as Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP). By integrating Logic-Based Benders Decomposition (LBBD), Geo-MILP iteratively optimizes action sequencingand timing to resolve geometric conflicts, promoting efficient cooperation between wiping and object rearrangement. We then employ K-Order Markov Optimization (KOMO) to generate smooth, collision-free motions to ensure feasible execution. Simulation and physical experiments demonstrate that the proposed framework not only increases reachable coverage by enabling access to obstructed areas, but also significantly improves time efficiency compared to Task and Motion Planning (TAMP) baselines, reducing planning time by up to 9 times and execution makespan by approximately 40%.

Self-Refining Vision Language Model for Robotic Failure Detection and Reasoning

Reasoning about failures is crucial for building reliable and trustworthy robotic systems. Prior approaches either treat failure reasoning as a closed-set classification problem or assume access to ample human annotations. Failures in the real world are typically subtle, combinatorial, and difficult to enumerate, whereas rich reasoning labels are expensive to acquire. We address this problem by introducing ARMOR: Adaptive Round-based Multi-task mOdel for Robotic failure detection and reasoning. We formulate detection and reasoning as a multi-task self-refinement process, where the model iteratively predicts detection outcomes and natural language reasoning conditioned on past outputs. During training, ARMOR learns from heterogeneous supervision - large-scale sparse binary labels and small-scale rich reasoning annotations - optimized via a combination of offline and online imitation learning. At inference time, ARMOR generates multiple refinement trajectories and selects the most confident prediction via a self-certainty metric. Experiments across diverse environments show that ARMOR achieves state-of-the-art performance by improving over the previous approaches by up to 30% on failure detection rate and up to 100% in reasoning measured through LLM fuzzy match score, demonstrating robustness to heterogeneous supervision and open-ended reasoning beyond predefined failure modes.

DGS-Net: Learning Dexterous Grasps from Single-View Point Clouds via a Multi-Object Scene Dataset

Dexterous grasping in multi-object scene constitutes a fundamental challenge in robotic manipulation. Current mainstream grasping datasets predominantly focus on single-object scenarios and predefined grasp configurations, often neglecting environmental interference and the modeling of dexterous pre-grasp gesture, thereby limiting their generalizability in real-world applications. To address this, we propose DGS-Net, an end-to-end grasp prediction network capable of learning dense grasp configurations from single-view point clouds in multi-object scene. Furthermore, we propose a two-stage grasp data generation strategy that progresses from dense single-object grasp synthesis to dense scene-level grasp generation. Our dataset comprises 307 objects, 240 multi-object scenes, and over 350k validated grasps. By explicitly modeling grasp offsets and pre-grasp configurations, the dataset provides more robust and accurate supervision for dexterous grasp learning. Experimental results show that DGS-Net achieves grasp success rates of 88.63\% in simulation and 78.98\% on a real robotic platform, while exhibiting lower penetration with a mean penetration depth of 0.375 mm and penetration volume of 559.45 mm^3, outperforming existing methods and demonstrating strong effectiveness and generalization capability. Our dataset is available at https://github.com/4taotao8/DGS-Net.

F2F-AP: Flow-to-Future Asynchronous Policy for Real-time Dynamic Manipulation

Asynchronous inference has emerged as a prevalent paradigm in robotic manipulation, achieving significant progress in ensuring trajectory smoothness and efficiency. However, a systemic challenge remains unresolved, as inherent latency causes generated actions to inevitably lag behind the real-time environment. This issue is particularly exacerbated in dynamic scenarios, where such temporal misalignment severely compromises the policy's ability to interpret and react to rapidly evolving surroundings. In this paper, we propose a novel framework that leverages predicted object flow to synthesize future observations, incorporating a flow-based contrastive learning objective to align the visual feature representations of predicted observations with ground-truth future states. Empowered by this anticipated visual context, our asynchronous policy gains the capacity for proactive planning and motion, enabling it to explicitly compensate for latency and robustly execute manipulation tasks involving actively moving objects. Experimental results demonstrate that our approach significantly enhances responsiveness and success rates in complex dynamic manipulation tasks.
