Current bin picking methods that rely heavily on end-to-end learning often falter when confronted with unfamiliar or complex objects in unstructured environments. To overcome these limitations, we introduce Seg2Grasp, a modular pipeline designed for robust suction grasping in dynamic and cluttered bin scenarios. Seg2Grasp is built on a three-step process: Segmentation, Grasping, and Classification. The Segmentation module employs a Transformer-based model to generate class-agnostic object masks from RGB-D images, ensuring accurate detection across various conditions. The Grasping module uses surface normals and mask proposals to determine the optimal suction points, enhancing grasp success. Finally, the Classification module leverages fine-tuned open-vocabulary Mask-CLIP for precise object identification, enabling versatile handling of diverse objects. Real-world robotic experiments demonstrate that Seg2Grasp outperforms existing methods in success rates and adaptability, establishing it as a powerful tool for automated bin picking in industrial settings.
Reinforcement Learning (RL) systems are typically trained using a single, well-specified scalar reward function. However, real-world decision-making tasks often involve multiple, competing objectives, such as performance versus efficiency, where ground-truth reward functions are…
Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) are emerging as core reasoning modules for embodied agents, yet it remains unclear how well general-purpose models can solve long-horizon embodied tasks from a single high-level instruction. We introduce MissionBench, a benchmark for missi…
While robot foundation models are growing increasingly capable, the strongest models are typically trained on proprietary data and remain closed-source, limiting downstream users' ability to adapt them to new tasks, embodiments, and deployment settings. Following the LLM communit…
Although world-action models (WAMs) enhance long-horizon robot control by predicting visual evolution before acting, long-horizon reliability demands repeated re-grounding in real observations--not recursive rollout. Existing WAMs address this by refreshing history or KV cache wi…
Vision-language-action (VLA) policies achieve strong performance in robotic manipulation but remain vulnerable to runtime disturbances that break the temporal alignment among visual observations, robot states, and executed actions. We introduce ActFovea, a plug-and-play safeguard…
Humans routinely communicate through abstractions of their bodies, including shadows, silhouettes, and reflections. Yet robots remain largely confined to expressing themselves through their physical morphology. Enabling robots to communicate through such projected visual abstract…
