    Learning from Fleet Experience: Collective Experience Learning Across 96 Robots

    This research proposes Collective Experience Learning (CEL), a paradigm where deployed robots pool execution experience to update a shared policy. The method, implemented via Failure-Guided Experience Retrieval Fine-Tuning (FERT), uses failure contexts to retrieve successful trajectory segments for supervised updates without requiring new expert demonstrations. Evaluated across five real-world manipulation tasks on robots excluded from training, the approach achieves success rates between 93.3% and 99.2%. Specifically, on multi-stage phone packaging, using a fleet of 96 robots improved success rates from 79.2% to 98.3%, validating CEL as a scalable method for improving robot policy reliability through deployment-generated experience.

    Sequential Planning via Anchored Robotic Keypoints

    This paper presents SPARK, a framework that maintains manipulation plans by anchoring symbolic behavior trees to current 3D observations, enabling local recovery from failures when objects move. Evaluated on LIBERO-PRO without ground-truth poses or task-specific practice, the system achieves 75.1% mean success across position and task settings and 69.7% on held-out language and object settings. It also demonstrates 68% success across 11 physical task-embodiment settings on three different robots using an open-weight 27B planner with 4-bit weights.

    Realtek at 2026 CIIE: The Invisible Connectivity Race Behind Humanoid Robots

    At the 2026 China International Import Expo, Realtek Semiconductor highlighted its communication and control components for humanoid robots, including EtherCAT MCUs, single-pair Ethernet PHYs, TSN-enabled industrial switches, audio DSPs for noise cancellation, and synchronized wireless camera solutions. The display emphasized that reliable data transmission, precise timing, and robust industrial networking are essential for coordinating robot joints, processing sensory inputs, and ensuring stability in factory environments. Realtek's approach extends its established networking technologies to new robotic terminals, noting that successful deployment depends on system integration and long-term validation rather than component specifications alone.

    OmniDex: Scaling Dexterous Hand Grasping to Diverse Cluttered Scenes

    This paper presents OmniDex, a benchmark and model for dexterous hand grasping in cluttered scenes. It addresses data scarcity through a scalable seed-and-filter strategy, generating over 2.6 million scenes and 0.4B grasp ground truths. The model combines Soft Winner-Takes-All learning with physical constraints to achieve robust grasping without post-optimization latency, showing strong generalization across diverse scenarios.

    CMU Researchers Give Robots a Delicate Touch

    Carnegie Mellon University researchers have developed a robotic fingertip that enables robots to handle delicate tasks, such as picking up fragile or tiny objects like pills and potato chips. The fingertip, which attaches to the DeltaHands device, uses a strain gauge and contact microphone to measure pressure and capture microvibrations, allowing the robot to sense and manipulate objects with greater precision. The low-cost, 3D-printable design offers versatility for a range of tasks, from counting paper cups to identifying material compositions through vibrations. The work was presented at the 2026 Intelligent Robots and Systems Conference.
