Data and simulation

Demonstration, teleoperation for data collection, motion retargeting, robot datasets, data quality, physics simulation, synthetic data, digital twins, domain randomization, and sim-to-real transfer. The focus is data, environments, and tools for training and validation. Simulation used only to validate a new learning algorithm does not automatically qualify.

    BAAI releases multimodal representation world model Wujie·RoboBrain Orca

    BAAI has released the multimodal representation world model Wujie·RoboBrain Orca. Its core idea is to shift from predicting the next word, next frame, or next action to predicting the next world state: it first learns a unified latent world representation, then adapts to downstream tasks through three lightweight readout modules for text, images, and actions.

    PKU EPIC Lab proposes LIMMT, a data-centric study for humanoid motion tracking, accepted to ICML 2026

    PKU EPIC Lab released LIMMT (Less Is More for Motion Tracking), which it describes as the first data-centric study for physics-based simulated humanoid motion tracking. The method defines motion data quality along three dimensions: physics feasibility, diversity, and complexity. Training on less than 3% of AMASS achieves better tracking performance than training on the full dataset, and the team also cleaned web-sourced mocap data. The paper has been accepted to ICML 2026; see arXiv:2606.06953.

    Dexterity details evaluation methods and production metrics for the Foresight packing agent

    Dexterity published an article introducing system evaluation and production measurement for the Foresight packing agent. On the planning side, it was tested on four real warehouse box-type distributions, with density of 0.65–0.77 and stability of 99.7–100%, and distribution-free order statistics were used to give 95% confidence intervals; the article also found that randomly shuffling the box sequence causes local variance to collapse by about 1.4 times, making evaluation overly optimistic.
