Original description
Contact-rich loco-manipulation requires a bridge between semantic action generation and physical interaction control. Existing Vision-language-action (VLA) models generate task-level actions from visual and linguistic observations, but cannot interpret the physical interactions induced by those actions. While the whole-body control (WBC) policy can stabilize the robot, it cannot distinguish task-relevant interaction forces from forces induced by external disturbances during manipulation. Although force/torque sensors provide direct measurements of physical interactions, retrofitting them entai...
