Learning Physics-Guided Residual Dynamics for Deformable Object Simulation

Shivansh Patel, Kaifeng Zhang, Sanjay Pokkali, Svetlana Lazebnik, Yunzhu Li

Simulating deformable objects is essential for a wide range of robotic manipulation applications, yet accurately predicting their dynamics remains challenging. We propose Physics-Guided Residual Dynamics (PGRD), a hybrid simulation framework that combines the advantages of physic…

Generalizable VLA Finetuning via Representation Anchoring and Language-Action Alignment

Dwip Dalal, Shivansh Patel, Chahit Jain, Jeonghwan Kim, Utkarsh Mishra, Alex Baratian, et al.

Finetuning a pretrained vision-language model (VLM) on robot demonstrations via behavior cloning (BC) has become the standard recipe for vision-language-action (VLA) policies. However, BC finetuning progressively overwrites the pretrained representations that support visual and s…
