Move-Then-Operate: Behavioral Phasing for Human-Like Robotic Manipulation

Move-Then-Operate is a robotic framework that separates manipulation into two distinct phases: coarse relocation (move) and fine contact interaction (operate). It uses a dual-expert policy routed by a learnable selector to isolate these behaviors. This structural decoupling improves learning efficiency and performance on complex tasks compared to monolithic models.
