RoboSyn Challenge Submission - Hybrid ACT+PP Policy
Competition: NeurIPS 2026 RoboSynChallenge
Team: YongbinChen
Average Success Rate: 92.7% (across 10 manipulation tasks)
Model Description
This submission uses a hybrid approach combining:
- ACT (Action Chunking Transformer) for 3 tasks requiring learned visuomotor skills
- Perception-Planning (PP) pipelines for 7 tasks amenable to geometric reasoning
Architecture
ACT Tasks (Neural Network):
table_rearrangement: 95.7% success rateclick_bell: 99.3% success rateitem_assembly: 81.2% success rate
PP Tasks (Rule-based Perception):
sample_loading: 88.4% success rateitems_handover: 87.0% success ratemanipulate_pipette: 90.6% success ratedrawer_open_place: 95.7% success ratehandle_basket: 96.4% success ratewater_pouring: 96.4% success ratemixer_operating: 96.4% success rate
Training Details
ACT Models:
- Dataset: Official RoboSynChallenge demonstrations (1000 episodes per task)
- Framework: LeRobot 0.4.4
- Backbone: ResNet-18 (3 camera views: wrist, front, side)
