For robots to assist, serve, and collaborate with humans, they must not only interpret human requests conveyed through language and multimodal intentional cues, but also execute long-horizon tasks that interleave navigation and manipulation. In this paper, we introduce HEIR, a resource for studying how to Harness Egocentric Intent for Human-Robot Interaction. HEIR pairs human speech, measured gaze, and egocentric video with robot observations and teleoperated navigation-manipulation trajectories, while each session preserves successive episodes, with each request fulfilled through multiple execution subtasks. The captured data, together with human-authored annotations, support the study of intent grounding, execution planning, and task completion within a unified interaction setting. To demonstrate the value of HEIR, we conduct extensive offline experiments to evaluate how models benefit from additional human-centric context across these tasks, together with real-robot experiments that assess execution task completion. HEIR thus provides a valuable resource for studying user-centric robot interaction in naturalistic household environments. Our demo and dataset are available online.

Humanoid loco-manipulation requires coordinated locomotion, balance regulation, and manipulation under frequent contacts, making teleoperated demonstration collection difficult: a practical controller must simultaneously provide precision, stability, and contact awareness. We propose FORGE, a force-aware multi-granularity control system with a coarse-to-fine command space spanning velocity navigation, planar foot placement, wrist-pose tracking, and optional force-conditioning inputs. Policy training requires no full-body human motion trajectories or joint-angle references; deployment consumes only sparse bilateral wrist poses relative to the pelvis, coarse motion commands, and optional desired wrist-load inputs. For sustained contact, FORGE combines a momentum observer with a learned correction trained using simulator contact-force supervision. At deployment, it estimates low-frequency, wrist-equivalent interaction forces from proprioception and reconstructed low-level arm PD torques, without wrist force/torque sensors. A quasi-static virtual-target loop uses this estimate and an optional desired applied-force input to adapt the wrist target. A frozen locomotion prior and asymmetric residual actions stabilize manipulation-induced whole-body corrections. Experiments evaluate unified-control stability, task-space tracking, quasi-static wrist-equivalent force estimation, squeezing forces during sustained contact with a rigid box, and downstream diffusion-policy execution of a squat-and-lift task across payload conditions.

Reproducing machine learning experiments requires reconstructing procedures from information scattered across papers, released code, and supporting artifacts. For coding agents, reproduction success can therefore depend on their ability to fill in missing details, rather than on the released artifacts alone. We ask whether preserving recovered procedures and decisions improves subsequent independent reproduction. We define a standardized artifact design comprising a refined codebase, environment setup, experiment launchers, and a reproduction guide, and introduce ReproBridge, an agent workflow for constructing these refined reproducible artifacts. ReproBridge-Bench provides 1,029 tasks from 387 experiments across 36 papers, anchored by five human-verified reference scores per task. Agents attempt tasks in fresh sessions with raw code or refined artifacts; a separate Auditor checks execution evidence. Across four evaluated models, refined artifacts raise mean reproduction success from 76.4% to 92.6% and reduce downstream API spending by 19.7% on average. The cross-model success-rate spread narrows from 21.6 to 3.9 percentage points, with all four models achieving mean success rates above 90%. Removing any component reduces success in the ablation study, with the largest losses from code and environment removal. These results suggest that preserving execution knowledge helps even models with lower raw-code success reproduce experiments more reliably and at lower API cost.

Reliable robotic manipulation requires both semantic understanding and precise control in three-dimensional space. However, vision-language-action (VLA) foundations largely inherit visual representations from 2D vision-language pre-training, while spatial supervision is often introduced only during task-specific adaptation. Developing spatial understanding as a transferable foundation-model capability therefore calls for learning from broader robot experience. We present SLA, a Spatial-Language-Action Model that scales implicit spatial alignment to continual pre-training and maintains it during downstream post-training. Initialized from a pretrained pi05 policy, SLA jointly optimizes action prediction and alignment between intermediate visual embeddings and spatial representations from a frozen 3D perception model. We curate and unify heterogeneous robot datasets to support spatial learning across diverse embodiments, tasks, and scenes. To accommodate this diversity, we introduce feature-dependent gates that adaptively aggregate visual embeddings from multiple VLA layers for spatial supervision. The teacher further exploits partially available depth and camera calibration alongside RGB observations, enabling effective use of heterogeneous geometric annotations. Probabilistic state dropout encourages reliance on visual cues and mitigates overfitting to demonstration trajectories. All auxiliary components are used only during training, allowing direct reuse of pretrained VLA weights and preserving the original inference architecture.
