RTPolicy: Real-Time (32.9 Hz) Multi-View Visuomotor Policy for Robotic Manipulation on Edge Devices

Abstract

Low inference latency is critical for closed-loop robotic manipulation, especially under asynchronous inference, where action chunks must be updated promptly to correct accumulated deviations. However, existing visuomotor policies rely on computationally expensive visual backbones, resulting in high inference latency and deployment overhead. In this paper, we propose RTPolicy, a multi-view visuomotor policy that attains accurate manipulation with high inference efficiency. Its core design combines view-aware feature fusion with visual compression to aggregate complementary information across camera views into a compact token representation. The representation conditions a flow-matching action generator with the robot state and flow time, reducing the cost of action generation. Extensive experiments demonstrate that this design reduces the computational cost of visual representation and action generation while preserving visual information required for manipulation. On the RoboTwin~2.0 single-task clean evaluation across 50 tasks, RTPolicy attains a mean success rate of 52.26\%, outperforming the strongest leaderboard baseline $π_0$ (46.4\%). We further evaluate RTPolicy under asynchronous streaming inference on a real bimanual platform, where RTPolicy attains a mean success rate of 72.0\% and sustains real-time inference at 30.35 ms (32.9 Hz) on the RDK S600 and 149.72 ms (6.7 Hz) on the RDK S100, both in INT16.

Design of an Underwater Vehicle With Orientation-Adjustable Thrusters and Adaptive Tracking Control

Unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) are essential for marine exploration and research. However, conventional designs often struggle with limited maneuverability in complex and dynamic underwater environments. This paper presents an orientation-adjustable thruster UUV (OAT-UUV) with vector thrusters, enabling full six-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) motion. and composite maneuvers. To overcome challenges associated with uncertain model parameters and environmental disturbances, a vision-based tracking control system based on a novel feedforward adaptive model predictive controller (FF-AMPC) is proposed to achieve robust object tracking, which integrates realtime state feedback with adaptive parameter updating. Extensive experiments, including closed-loop tracking and composite motion tests in real-world environment, have been conducted. The obtained results demonstrate that the orientation-adjustable propulsion design significantly improves the underwater maneuverability, while the FF-AMPC controller achieves a 49.1% hovering improvement compared to conventional controller.

FlowDrive: moderated flow matching with data balancing for trajectory planning

Learning-based planners are sensitive to the long-tailed distribution of driving data. Common maneuvers dominate datasets, while dangerous or rare scenarios are sparse. This imbalance can bias models toward the frequent cases and degrade performance on critical scenarios. To tackle this problem, we compare balancing strategies for sampling training data and find reweighting by trajectory pattern an effective approach. We then present FlowDrive, a flow-matching trajectory planner that learns a conditional rectified flow to map noise directly to trajectory distributions with few flow-matching steps. We further introduce moderated, in-the-loop guidance that injects small perturbation between flow steps to systematically increase trajectory diversity while remaining scene-consistent. On nuPlan and the interaction-focused interPlan benchmarks, FlowDrive achieves state-of-the-art results among learning-based planners and approaches methods with rule-based refinements. After adding moderated guidance and light post-processing (FlowDrive*), it achieves overall state-of-the-art performance across nearly all benchmark splits. Our code is available at https://github.com/einsteinguang/flow_drive_planner.

DexCanvas: Bridging Human Demonstrations and Robot Learning for Dexterous Manipulation

A dexterous hand succeeds or fails through contact, yet every scalable record of human manipulation (video, vision-based hand tracking, motion capture) observes how the hand moves and misses how it pushes. We present DexCanvas, a hybrid real-synthetic dataset of 7,000 hours of dexterous hand-object interaction with per-frame contact points and contact forces, grown from 70 hours of optical motion capture that spans 21 manipulation types, from power and precision grasps to in-hand manipulation. The forces come from a real-to-sim pipeline: one reinforcement learning (RL) policy, conditioned on object geometry and manipulation type, drives an actuated MANO hand in physics simulation to reproduce each captured object trajectory, and the simulator measures the contacts that produce the reproduced motion. The policy reproduces 87.5% of the demonstrations and still succeeds on 80.9% of rollouts from perturbed initial object poses; these perturbed rollouts expand the 70 captured hours a hundredfold. On six YCB objects absent from the capture set it succeeds 72.5% of the time. The contact channels make better policies: a Diffusion Policy that observes DexCanvas contact features succeeds 82.2% of the time, against 67.5% without them, over 18,522 trials. Contact-driven retargeting carries the same demonstrations to two dexterous robot hands, where the RL stage again produces stable rollouts. A first release of 111,857 force-annotated trajectories is publicly available on Hugging Face.
