Soft-bag pick-and-place is a classic manipulation stress test - fabric occlusion hides the target, its shape keeps shifting, and tactile feedback plus adaptive grasp strategies are required. Astribot’s approach is whole-body teleoperation data collection plus visuomotor policy learning (Astribot Suite, arXiv:2507.17141), and this seemingly boring task is a direct demonstration of that generalization.
