Watch, Infer, Coordinate: Inferring Robot Partner Constraints for Zero-Shot Coordination

Excerpt

arXiv:2610.02170v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Robots operating in the physical world will increasingly need to coordinate with other robots, particularly in manipulation tasks where an object may be too large or heavy for a single robot to carry alone. Physical limitations caused by hardware degradation or actuator faults can restrict the actions a robot can reliably execute, yet these limitations may be unknown to its partner. We study whether a helper can infer a robot partner's physical c
