PAKT: Physically-Aligned Kinesthetic Teaching for Reinforcement Learning

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 22, 2026 · UTC

Real-world reinforcement learning (RL) systems still struggle with the demands of contact-rich industrial manipulation, including micrometer-level precision, success rates above 99%, and human-level cycle times. Although off-policy algorithms can improve performance by leveraging demonstrations and interventions, a key bottleneck is the lack of an intuitive interface for collecting such guidance while complying with constraints of the physical system and the policy. We propose PAKT, a framework for kinesthetic teaching in RL. As opposed to teleoperation approaches, PAKT relies on kinesthetic g
