Ego2Robot: Scalable Robot Data Synthesis from Egocentric Human DataLearning generalizable robot manipulation policies requires large-scale and diverse demonstration data. Egocentric human manipulation videos offer rich scene and task diversity, and prior work has shown that retargeting and rendering such videos into robot-format data can yield effective per-task policies at small scale. However, whether this approach can provide pretraining benefits for vision-language-action models at scale remains unexplored. We present Ego2Robot, a scalable pipeline that converts egocentric human manipulation videos into robot training data through action retargeting, robot-arm visual synthesis, and multi-level quality curation. Ego2Robot supports both curated datasets and in-the-wild videos, producing 18,561 hours of robot training data spanning 15 robot morphologies, making it the largest ego-to-robot dataset to date. To evaluate generalization, we extend RoboTwin2.0 with disentangled perturbation axes covering visual appearance, scene layout, embodiment morphology, and task semantics. Experiments show that joint pretraining on Ego2Robot-synthesized and robot data consistently improves out-of-distribution generalization across multiple perturbation types, with benefits validated on real-robot deployment.

Dynamics-Aware Meta-Imitation for Generalization to Unseen Robotic ManipulationImitation Learning aims to learn skills from extensive observations and demonstrations for robots, so it suffers from data scarcity and environment generalization. The existing methods predominantly focus on imitation from in-domain tasks and consequently struggle with generalization to unseen tasks. To bridge this generalization gap, we propose the Dynamics-Aware Meta-Imitation (DAMI) framework. By integrating meta-learning to construct a shared skill space, DAMI equips agents for rapid adaptation to novel tasks. We introduce the Visual-Motor Trajectory (VMT) module to capture complex spatio-temporal dynamics within the task latent space. Furthermore, we propose the Unpaired Unified Task (U2T) block to fuse unstructured multimodal observations. To coordinate these representations, we integrate a Task-Conditioned Feature Modulation (TCFM) mechanism customized for modulating low-level 3D features. By capturing intrinsic dynamics from a random complete reference demonstration, our framework learns the underlying task logic rather than memorizing static cues, ensuring effective generalization. Extensive experiments in both simulation and real-world settings demonstrate that our approach outperforms state-of-the-art baselines regarding direct inference on seen tasks and adaptation to unseen tasks via few-shot fine-tuning.Zhenduo Shang, Xiyao Liu, Bohan Li·Jul 17, 2026Imitation LearningMeta-learningGeneralizationJul 17, 2026
