Catching a flying ball is hard. What if with a flat plate? 🏓 Our work at RSS’26 shows it’s possible through Zero-Shot Sim2Real With Domain-Randomized Instance Set (DRIS), we catches different kinds of balls without any real-world fine-tuning 🔗 rice-robotpi-lab.github.io/DRIScatch/

In the “TikTok” for manipulation data, the searching algorithm should not only be based on the task text description, but also the hand motion itself

Robot learning has a data problem: the internet contains billions of human manipulation videos, but most robot datasets cover only a tiny fraction of real-world behavior. RoboTok turns those videos into a searchable source of dexterous manipulation demonstrations. Give it one
