摘要
Robot learning has advanced by scaling demonstration datasets and model capacity; however, deploying a new robot embodiment or task typically necessitates a dedicated teleoperation corpus. The resulting policies remain bounded by their imitation distributions, limiting generalization and continual self-improvement. We introduce RAX (Robot Agent eXploration), an open-source framework for robot agents centered on scaling exploration: enabling agents to improve by acquiring online experience and synthesizing executable programs. In RAX, a general-purpose coding agent generates robot control code, operating without action demonstration data, hand-engineered action primitives, or value-function guidance. Through online exploration, the agent identifies decision sequences that achieve task goals and compiles them into modular programs encapsulating the full perception-planning-control loop. Using RAX, we present a systematic multi-embodiment study on scaling online exploration across precision and long-horizon manipulation tasks using single-arm, bimanual, dexterous, mobile, and humanoid systems in simulation and on real robots. Generalization performance on unseen environments improves consistently as exploration scales. In simulation, RAX outperforms top baseline models by +37.4% on average. On real robots, RAX autonomously learns memory-dependent, articulated, high-precision, deformable, and long-horizon mobile manipulation tasks without human demonstrations, continually improving performance by composing verified skills from prior exploration sessions. As exploration scales, we observe emergent capabilities including active perception, error recovery, safety guardrails, and human-robot collaboration. We open-source RAX as a generalist robot-agent platform in which new robot embodiments are integrated through their APIs alone, without teleoperated data collection or policy training.
