Robotizing Human Videos with Physically Consistent Interactions
Human videos offer scalable manipulation data, but the embodiment gap between human hands and robot manipulators limits their direct use.Talk, Render, Act: Integrating Social Gesture and Digital Face with Synchronized Speech for Conversational Humanoid Robot
Expressive humanoid interaction requires speech, facial animation, and body gestures to form a coherent response.Controllable and Photorealistic Pedestrian Risky Motion Generation for End-to-End Driving Safety Evaluation
Evaluating end-to-end autonomous driving under rare, safety-critical vehicle-pedestrian interactions requires photorealistic, sensor-level scenarios.Arm-wise Compositional Generalization in Dual-Arm Vision-Language-Action Models
Generalization in multi-arm collaboration can be studied as composing familiar atomic skills in new ways across arms.STC-MPM: Coupled Deformation, Progressive Damage, and Cut Formation in Soft-Tissue Cutting
Cutting is a recurring operation in robotic au tomation, from food preparation to surgical tissue resection.Towards Quadruped-Provided Localization and Active Tracking for Micro-UAVs
Micro unmanned aerial vehicles (micro-UAVs) are small enough to reach confined spaces that larger robots cannot access, but too small to carry the sensing and computing power required for autonomous…AUTOPILOT An Advanced Perception, Localization and Path Planning Techniques for Autonomous Vehicles Using YOLOv7 and MiDaS
Self driving vehicles have emerged as a reliable technology that has the capability to transform transportation and mobility.Encoded but Not in Control: Revealing the Grounding Gap in Vision-Language Robot Policies
Instruction following is central to language-conditioned robot policies: language should determine what to do when the same scene permits multiple valid actions.CentriQ: Calibration-Free Quantization of Diffusion Transformers via Exact Mean Centering
Diffusion transformers (DiTs) achieve state-of-the-art image generation, but their sampling cost limits deployment.VLA-ZO: Fast Zeroth-Order Adaptation for Vision-Language-Action Models
Adapting vision-language-action (VLA) models to deployment-time distribution shifts is important for reliable robotic operation, but conventional first-order adaptation can exceed the memory budget…Future Anchored Verification and Online Recovery for World Action Models
World action models (WAMs) have emerged as a promising paradigm for robotic manipulation.GAMBIT: Learning to Plan Continuous Multi-Robot Trajectories
GAMBIT is an opening chess move in which a player sacrifices a piece, typically a pawn, to gain a positional advantage later in the game.Inspect Robots: Evaluating the Capabilities and Safety of Embodied AI
General purpose language models are increasingly able to control robotic hardware.Dual Variational Autoencoders for Efficient Sim-to-Real Transfer in Low-Cost Robotic Navigation
Vision-based autonomous navigation for low-cost robots remains a fundamental challenge, primarily due to the significant gap between simulated training environments and real-world operational…DexForge: High-Fidelity Physics-Informed Dexterous Retargeting
Human demonstrations offer rich examples of precise dexterous manipulation and a promising source of robot training data.KineWorld: Action-Induced Transport Fields for Embodied World Modeling
Embodied world models predict the visual consequences of candidate actions before execution.Towards Robust Prehensile Manipulation in Open-Ended Environments
We propose to use Quality-Diversity (QD) algorithms to solve robotic prehensile manipulation tasks in open-ended environments.Visual Swarm Navigation via Deep Reinforcement Learning and Evolutionary Hybrid Design
Swarm robotics presents a robust and cost-effective paradigm for advanced automation in complex, dynamic environments, such as those encountered in search and rescue or environmental monitoring.A Taxonomy on Collective Awareness
As robotic teams tackle increasingly complex tasks in dynamic and unstructured environments, effective coordination requires agents to maintain accurate, aligned representations of their…Odyssey: A Closed-Loop Benchmark for Long-Horizon Real-World Driving with Explicit Navigation Routes
Closed-loop evaluation of end-to-end driving requires continuous rollouts that reveal how earlier decisions affect subsequent driving.
