AFD-CAMLs: Agile Force-Distribution-Aware Planning and Control for Cable-Suspended Aerial Multi-Lifting Systems
Multiple UAVs can cooperatively transport heavy payloads while controlling their position and orientation.EIDA: Execution-Interface Dynamics Adaptation for Real-to-Sim-to-Real Robot Navigation
Simulation-to-robot transfer can fail when velocity commands produce motion and feedback that differ from those modeled during policy training.Supervise What Decides Success: Criterion-Aligned Auxiliary Losses for Latent World-Model Planning
Latent world models plan by scoring candidate action sequences with distances in latent space.ColoACT: Multi-Cue Action Chunking for Smooth Autonomous Colon Navigation on a Self-Propelled Endoscopic Robot
Autonomous colonoscopic navigation can reduce operator burden and the risk of loop formation or tissue trauma, but remains challenging due to deformable anatomy, weak-texture and specular endoscopic…PROMO: Preference-conditioned Multi-Objective Reinforcement Learning for Quadrupedal Robots
Quadrupedal locomotion requires balancing conflicting objectives such as command tracking, stability, and energy efficiency, yet conventional reinforcement learning (RL) hardcodes these priorities…Interaction-Stiffness-Guided Basis Allocation in Dynamic Movement Primitives for Efficient Skill Transfer
Dynamic Movement Primitives (DMPs) provide a compact and stable formulation for trajectory representation and generalization in robot skill learning.Continual Learning for 6-DoF Grasp Synthesis via Experience and Demonstrations
Most current grasp synthesis systems are trained offline and remain fixed during deployment.Ex vivo breach detection using electrical conductivity during robotic pedicle drilling in the spine
Pedicle screw placement is technically demanding in scoliosis treatment.Cross-entropy optimization with prioritized constraints
When constraints conflict, an optimizer must determine which requirements to preserve and which to relax.Is Success All You Need? Investigating the Impact of Input Perturbations on VLA Behaviour in Tabletop Manipulation Tasks
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have achieved high task success rates on robot manipulation task benchmarks.Continue, Abort, or Fall: Viability-Aware Policy Selection (VAPS) for Safe Humanoid Acrobatics
Dynamic humanoid motions such as flips risk hardware damage due to suboptimal policies, disturbances or sim-to-real gaps.ALFRED: Requirement-driven development of an open-source mobile manipulator for long-term plant monitoring
Tracking seasonal change in crops and forests requires observing the same plants repeatedly.OpenSpace Lab Solution to the IROS 2026 Indoor Exploration Competition
This report presents the \textbf{OpenSpace Lab}'s solution to the Competition on Intelligent Information Gathering for Single and Multi-Robot Systems Workshops, organized as part of the IEEE/RSJ…FedCKA: Representation-Guided Layer Personalization for Federated 3D Perception Across Driving Domains
Robust perception in intelligent vehicles demands 3D object detectors that remain dependable under domain shifts, such as changes in time of day, location, or weather.Completion Aware Guidance for World Action Models
World Action Models (WAMs) predict visual futures and robot actions, yet they remain susceptible to task-incomplete imagination, where plausible, action-consistent predictions omit the transition…Managing Context and Communication in Distributed Agentic UAV Swarms
Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarms increasingly rely on language-model agents to provide adaptive mission-level reasoning in uncertain environments.LiDARFlow: Real-Time Panel-Based MAV Guidance in Unknown Environments
This paper presents a guidance algorithm for micro aerial vehicles operating in unknown, cluttered environments using only onboard sensing.ReCo: Response-Consistent Locomotion with Policy-Aware MPC for Legged Manipulation
Continuous legged manipulation requires accurate end-effector tracking while the base keeps walking.SonarVoxNet: Diver Detection in 3D Bounding Box using 3D Sonar
Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) assisting human divers must continuously track not only the diver's 3D position but also their full-body orientation.Learning a Resolution-Consistent Jacobian Field for Bio-Inspired Rigid-Soft Finger
Bio-inspired tendon-driven rigid-soft coupled dexterous fingers exhibit strong nonlinearity and configuration-dependent sensitivity, making accurate modeling challenging.
