BrickCraft-Duo: Efficient Dual-Arm Skill Learning and Refinement for Compositional Long-Horizon Assembly
arXiv:2609.28281v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Interlocking brick assembly provides a representative testbed for evaluating real-world robotic manipulation capabilities, where diverse structural designs, complex inter-step dependencies, intricate mechanical interactions and tight insertion tolerances pose substantial challenges. We present BrickCraft-Duo, a modular framework for long-horizon dual-arm collaborative assembly of interlocking bricks through data-efficient skill learning and composition. BrickCraft-Duo learns reusable single- and dual-arm assembly skills from diverse demonstrations, with bilateral symmetry alignment facilitating skill sharing across symmetric arms and assembly--support role assignments. Guided by stability-aware assembly reasoning, BrickCraft-Duo composes heterogeneous skills to achieve autonomous long-horizon execution, and further integrates human-in-the-loop correction for targeted skill refinement. The resulting system achieves long-horizon success rates of at least 60% and step-level completion rates of at least 95% across five real-world assembly tasks involving partially supported configurations, with horizons of up to nine steps.
