Long-horizon visual goals remain surprisingly hard for robot manipulation. We introduce Act2Goal, a goal-conditioned policy that uses a visual world model to reason about progress toward a goal, and practice it autonomously in the real world.

I've been working on deformable object manipulation since my PhD. It was totally a nightmare years ago and my PhD advisor was telling me not to work on it for my own good. Today, at ByteDance Seed, we are dropping GR-RL, a new VLA+RL system that manages long-horizon precise dexterous manipulation of deformable objects. This is probably the first real-world RL system to make a robot: ✅ Lace up your shoes end to end ✅ Hit millimeter tolerance repeatedly ✅ Recover from mistakes (See video!) ✅ And complete continuous shoelace threading on a real bimanual platform 📈 Success rate: ↑ from 45.7% → 83.3% Yes, robots can now actually do this.

In just ~3 months, as a solo founder with no prior robotics experience, General Trajectory trained a foundation model for dexterous manipulation that lets humanoid robots pick up unseen objects and perform real-world work. It generalizes to novel objects and scenes, including cases where prior SoTA models achieve 0% success. Congrats on the launch Joshua!

Scaling vision-language-action (VLA) models to high-DoF dexterous hands has long been a "holy grail" challenge due to the high-dimensional action space and data scarcity. As a wrap up of the year 2025, we are releasing GR-Dexter, a holistic hardware-model-data framework for generalist manipulation on a bimanual dexterous-hand robot. This is the first VLA system to achieve: ✅ High-DoF Control: Managing a 56-DoF bimanual system (21-DoF per hand). ✅ Long-Horizon Tasks with tool use: Vacuuming, bread serving with tongs, and table decluttering. ✅ Open-World Generalization: Robust performance with unseen objects and abstract instructions.

The Real-to-Sim part of R2S2R transforms physical robots, sensors, environments, objects, and interactions into simulations that preserve task-relevant observations and dynamics - not only how the world looks, but how it acts when the robot interacts with it. These results set a new bar for sim-real alignment in robot manipulation.

What if robots could improve themselves by learning from their own failures in the real-world? Introducing 𝗣𝗟𝗗 (𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗲, 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻, 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹) — a recipe that enables Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models to self-improve for high-precision manipulation tasks. PLD couples real-world residual reinforcement learning with standard supervised fine-tuning — letting robots discover, recover, and distill their own data flywheel. Quick 🧵

Policies trained on real robot data via imitation can be surprisingly capable. But for domains like dexterous manipulation, they are often not quite good enough: they move slowly, miss grasps, make unreliable contact, and fail under small perturbations. Can we improve them without any additional data collection on the real robot? In SCORE, we show that we can improve real-world diffusion/flow policies cheaply by using simulation to simply learn how to steer them on deployment. This leads to large gains in real-world success and speed across a variety of tasks, without requiring additional real-world experience: 🧵 (1/10)

📢 Announcing one of the most exciting works from us this year on **scalable robot policy evaluation through real-to-sim transfer**, moving toward a scalable evaluation engine with structured world models that capture the appearance, geometry, and dynamics of environments involving deformable objects. 🤖 Evaluation remains one of the biggest bottlenecks in building general-purpose robots. Today, robots are still evaluated only in the real world, which is **orders of magnitude slower** than the development of language agents. We propose a new framework where simulation performance **strongly correlates** with the real world (r > 0.9), even for deformable objects. The key difference from existing work lies in the correlation between simulation and reality: if a robot model performs better in the digital world, does it also perform better in the real world? This question has long made people hesitant about simulation-based evaluation — especially for deformable objects. We are changing that. Our pipeline achieves effective real-to-sim transfer, establishing **state-of-the-art correlation** between simulation and reality for deformable object manipulation. It provides a **scalable and reproducible evaluation engine** for robot learning. 🌐
