SCOPE: Skeleton Graph-Based Computation-Efficient Framework for Autonomous UAV Exploration

Autonomous exploration in unknown environments is key for mobile robots, helping them perceive, map, and make decisions in complex areas. However, current methods often rely on frequent global optimization, suffering from high computational latency and trajectory oscillation, especially on resource-constrained edge devices. To address these limitations, we propose SCOPE, a novel framework that incrementally constructs a real-time skeletal graph and introduces Implicit Unknown Region Analysis for efficient spatial reasoning. The planning layer adopts a hierarchical on-demand strategy: the Proximal Planner generates smooth, high-frequency local trajectories, while the Region-Sequence Planner is activated only when necessary to optimize global visitation order. Comparative evaluations in simulation demonstrate that SCOPE achieves competitive exploration performance comparable to state-of-the-art global planners, while reducing computational cost by an average of 86.9%. Real-world experiments further validate the system's robustness and low latency in practical scenarios.

RLinf-USER: A Unified and Extensible System for Real-World Online Policy Learning in Embodied AI

Online policy learning directly in the physical world is a promising yet challenging direction for embodied intelligence. Unlike simulation, real-world systems cannot be arbitrarily accelerated, cheaply reset, or massively replicated, suggesting that real-world policy learning is not merely an algorithmic problem, but inherently a systems problem. We present USER, a \underline{U}nified and extensible \underline{S}yst\underline{E}m for real-world online policy lea\underline{R}ning. On the systems side, USER introduces a hardware abstraction layer for unified robot management and an adaptive communication plane that enables efficient cloud-edge training. On the learning side, USER adopts a fully asynchronous training framework, designs a persistent and cache-aware replay buffer, and provides extensible abstractions for rewards, algorithms, and policies. Experiments in both simulation and the real world demonstrate that USER supports multi-robot coordination, heterogeneous manipulators, cloud-edge training with large models, and long-running asynchronous training. Together, these capabilities establish USER as a unified and extensible systems foundation for real-world online policy learning.

ArtiSG: Functional 3D Scene Graph Construction via Human-demonstrated Articulated Objects Manipulation

3D scene graphs have empowered robots with semantic understanding for navigation and planning. However, current functional scene graphs primarily focus on static element detection, lacking the actionable kinematic information required for physical manipulation, particularly regarding articulated objects. Existing approaches for inferring articulation mechanisms from static observations are prone to visual ambiguity, while methods that estimate parameters from state changes typically rely on constrained settings such as fixed cameras and unobstructed views. Furthermore, inconspicuous functional elements like hidden handles are frequently missed by pure visual perception. To bridge this gap, we present ArtiSG, a framework that constructs functional 3D scene graphs by encoding human demonstrations into structured robotic memory. Our approach leverages a robust data collection pipeline utilizing a portable hardware setup to accurately track 6-DoF manipulation trajectories and estimate articulation axes, even under camera ego-motion. By integrating these kinematic priors into a hierarchical, open-vocabulary graph, our system not only models how articulated objects move but also utilizes physical interaction data to discover implicit elements. Extensive real-world experiments demonstrate that ArtiSG significantly outperforms baselines in functional element recall and articulation estimation precision. Moreover, we show that the constructed graph serves as a reliable robotic memory, effectively guiding robots to perform language-directed manipulation tasks in real-world environments containing diverse articulated objects.
