Mobile manipulation is a fundamental capability that enables robots to interact in expansive environments such as homes and factories. Most existing approaches follow a two-stage paradigm, where the robot first navigates to a docking point and then performs fixed-base manipulation using powerful visuomotor policies. However, real-world mobile manipulation often suffers from the view generalization problem due to shifts of docking points. To address this issue, we propose a novel low-cost demonstration generation framework named DockAnywhere, which improves viewpoint generalization under docking variability by lifting a single demonstration to diverse feasible docking configurations. Specifically, DockAnywhere lifts a trajectory to any feasible docking points by decoupling docking-dependent base motions from contact-rich manipulation skills that remain invariant across viewpoints. Feasible docking proposals are sampled under feasibility constraints, and corresponding trajectories are generated via structure-preserving augmentation. Visual observations are synthesized in 3D space by representing the robot and objects as point clouds and applying point-level spatial editing to ensure the consistency of observation and action across viewpoints. Extensive experiments on ManiSkill and real-world platforms demonstrate that DockAnywhere substantially improves policy success rates and easily generalizes to novel viewpoints from unseen docking points during training, significantly enhancing the generalization capability of mobile manipulation policy in real-world deployment.
3D visuomotor policies offer a promising direction for complex robotic manipulation, as depth maps and point clouds provide rich geometric information for spatial reasoning. However, their success often depends on large-scale real-world demonstrations, which are costly and time-consuming to collect. To this end, existing methods commonly use demonstration generation strategies to improve data efficiency by applying object-centric transformations to human-collected demonstrations, such as varying object poses or scales. While effective for local variation, these transformations largely preserve the original scene structure and skill sequence, limiting their ability to synthesize diverse scene-skill-object combinations for complex tasks. In this paper, we propose Task-Edit, a novel demonstration generation framework that generates diverse trajectories from a task-centric editing perspective. The key insight of Task-Edit is to decompose a task into scene, skill and object components, and flexibly recombine them. In this way, Task-Edit enables scalable demonstration generation and significantly improves generalization for long-horizon manipulation tasks. We evaluate Task-Edit through extensive real-world experiments and demonstrate three advantages: (1) Effectiveness: Task-Edit significantly improves 3D visuomotor policies across various real-world tasks and robot embodiments. (2) Generalizability: Task-Edit improves model generalization across different scenario setups. (3) Applicability: Task-Edit enables models to handle scenarios that are difficult to collect in the real world, including disturbance resistance, obstacle avoidance and unseen cluttered scenes.
Successful mobile manipulation requires coordinated base and arm motion while maintaining accurate spatial positioning. However, demonstration-trained policies can struggle to realise the intended base motion reliably, leading to spatial misalignment and subsequent manipulation failures. We present MAVP (Map-Aware Visuomotor Policies), a framework that improves execution reliability by predicting explicit base-pose targets and tracking them using localisation feedback. MAVP reconstructs a static map from teleoperated demonstrations and expresses demonstrated base trajectories in a shared map frame, providing consistent spatial supervision across demonstrations. At execution time, the policy receives RGB observations, joint states, and the robot's current map-frame base pose, and jointly predicts target base poses, arm actions, and gripper actions. A low-level controller tracks the predicted base targets using feedforward motion and pose error feedback, enabling correction of execution deviations. We additionally use pose-noise augmentation during training to improve robustness to errors in the policy's pose input. Across six real-world manipulation tasks and three policy families, MAVP achieves higher task success rates than unanchored velocity control in all tasks.

Learning open-world mobile manipulation policies requires vast data to achieve spatial generalization, long-horizon robustness, and scene generalization. Current prevailing data collection paradigms, teleoperation and UMI, demand prohibitive human effort and cost at scale. To scale beyond the limits of manual data collection, we seek to maximize the value of each human demonstration by scalable data generation. To this end, we introduce WANDA: learning open-World mobile mANipulation from one demonstration via a synthetic DAta engine. WANDA first reconstructs background Gaussian splats and robot-object interaction trajectories from source RGBD observations, as a world substrate for later planning and rendering. It then rearranges contact-rich robot-object interaction segments into extensive spatial configurations, utilizing whole-body motion planning to chain them into new trajectories. To enhance long-horizon robustness, it applies Corrective State Expansion to increase the robot and object state diversity at different stages of mobile manipulation. To unlock cross-environment generalization, trajectories are synthesized on diverse generated 3D worlds from everyday photos. Furthermore, we synthesize photo-realistic observations by compositing rendered robot and object meshes with Gaussian splatting backgrounds. We evaluate our approach on extensive simulation and real-world tasks in various scenes. Experiments show that policies trained with WANDA achieve long-horizon robustness, broad spatial generalization and cross-environment generalization from one real demonstration. Moreover, WANDA naturally supports cross-embodiment data generation, validated by zero-shot deployment on another mobile manipulator with a distinct morphology.
