  "summary": "Recent advances in video generation allow robots to learn manipulation trajectories from generated videos. However, these approaches produce purely kinematic trajectories that lack force information, causing failures in contact-rich tasks where appropriate contact forces are essential for success. In this work, we explore augmenting generated video with audio to shape a bounded, time-varying…",
