arXiv:2609.14310v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Generalizable bimanual robotic manipulation requires a reusable task prior that can persist across increasingly diverse tasks, objects, scenes, embodiments, and execution conditions, thus avoiding the prohibitive cost of large-scale teleoperated demonstrations and policy retraining. In this work, we present VLBiMan++, an extended framework that expands the generalization boundary of vision-language anchored one-shot bimanual manipulation. Starting from a single human demonstration, VLBiMan++ performs task-aware decomposition to identify reusable and adaptable skill components, and employs vision-language grounded geometric adaptation to transfer these skills to novel configurations without retraining. Building on this foundation, we systematically extend generalization along five dimensions: task generalization through diverse and long-horizon skill compositions; object generalization across unseen categories, varying geometries, and more complex articulated or deformable objects; scene generalization under clutter, occlusion, and dynamic interference; embodiment generalization across heterogeneous dual-arm robotic platforms; and deployment generalization through prolonged closed-loop execution under repeated external perturbations. To support this broader scope, we further introduce object-state-aware adaptation and lightweight trajectory optimization mechanisms that accommodate changes beyond simple rigid 6-DoF pose variations while preserving reliable bimanual coordination. Extensive real-world experiments demonstrate that VLBiMan++ maintains strong task success and adaptation capability across these increasingly challenging settings. Overall, VLBiMan++ advances one-shot bimanual manipulation from demonstrating isolated transferability toward a more systematic and scalable framework for generalization across tasks, objects, scenes, embodiments, and long-term deployment conditions.
