Transformer Transformer: feed an UMI dataset, get an optimized mobile manipulator
SongShuran · x · 2026-09-06
haqhuy announces "Transformer Transformer": conditioning on diverse motions (e.g. an UMI dataset), the method co-optimizes a mobile manipulator for them — data-driven robot body+policy co-design. The author notes sundayrobotics' Memo torso design proved critical, thanking collaborators. Accepted at CoRL 2026.
