CroSTAta Transformer Boosts Robotic Manipulation Accuracy

Researchers unveiled CroSTAta, a transformer that improves robotic manipulation, delivering over two‑fold accuracy gains on precision tasks versus standard cross‑attention. Code on GitHub. getnews.me/crostata-transformer-boo... #crostata #roboticmanipulation

ReLAM Boosts Visual Robotic Manipulation with Learned Reward Anticipation

ReLAM predicts keypoint‑based subgoals to generate dense rewards for robotic manipulation; the September 2025 paper reports faster learning and success rates than prior methods. getnews.me/relam-boosts-visual-robo... #relam #roboticmanipulation

GP3 introduces 3‑D geometry‑aware policy for robotic manipulation

GP3 lets robots infer depth and camera parameters from multiple RGB views, creating a compact 3‑D scene representation without depth sensors. Paper posted 19 Sep 2025. getnews.me/gp3-introduces-3-d-geome... #gp3 #roboticmanipulation

Geometric Red‑Teaming Boosts Robustness in Robotic Manipulation

Geometric Red‑Teaming creates CrashShapes that cut task success from ~90% to 22.5%, while blue‑teaming restores up to 60 percentage points of performance. Read more: getnews.me/geometric-red-teaming-bo... #geometricredteam #roboticmanipulation #corl2025

iCub robot in action during an interactive game demonstration. (a) Robot is approaching the correct card while back bending to dodge the collision. (b) Robot is keeping a safe distance from the opponent's detected hand.

A new T-RO paper introduces HARMONIOUS, a real-time control system enabling humanoid robots to play board games while safely interacting with humans through multi-modal sensing (touch, proximity, vision).
