EgoSpeedUp: Transferring Human Manipulation Tempo to Robot Policies
Robot manipulation policies trained through imitation learning inherit not only the demonstrated behavior but also the conservative execution tempo of robot demonstrations.A Simple Gripper Interface for Simulator-Agnostic Cloth Manipulation
This paper presents a grasping model for cloth manipulation specifically tailored to ease the deployment of robotic control methods.C-space Analysis using Tropical Geometry
Configuration space~(C-space) of a mechanism is a real variety describing the set of feasible configurations that it can attain.FMCW-LIO: A Doppler LiDAR-Inertial Odometry
Conventional LiDAR-inertial odometry (LIO) or simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) methods heavily rely on geometric features of environments, as LiDARs primarily provide range measurements…Free-Init: Scan-Free, Motion-Free, and Correspondence-Free Initialization for Doppler LiDAR-Inertial Systems
Robust initialization is crucial for online systems.Decoupled Early Exits for Task-Dependent Compute Allocation in Flow-Matching VLAs
Flow-matching Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have emerged as a potential solution for generalist robot control, designed by combining a pretrained Vision-Language Model (VLM) backbone with an…Robo-Harness K1: Harnessing Robot-Use Agents via Perception Augmentation
Foundation vision-language models (VLMs) understand objects, instructions, and spatial relations, yet translating this capability into robotic manipulation remains difficult.RACaP: Agentic Reasoning, Acting, and Coding as Policies for Evolvable Robot Learning
General-purpose robot agents must learn from experience, transfer to new tasks, and act efficiently.WRAP: Fixtureless Wrench-aware Multi-Robot Assembly Planning
Assembly using robots often requires specially designed fixtures, or relies on top-down only assembly strategies.Singularity Analysis for the Perspective-Four and Five-Line Problems
This paper deals with image-based visual servoing and pose estimation by observing four and five lines.UCON: Uncertainty-aware Navigation with Historical Re-association in Dynamic Environments
Autonomous navigation in dynamic environments is hindered by two fundamental challenges: perception instability and uncertainty-optimization mismatch.Temperament Engineering: Designing Strategic Behavioural Diversity in Robot Swarms
No two robots are truly identical: calibration, battery state, sensor drift and wear give every swarm a distribution of behaviour rather than a single point, usually treated as an imperfection to be…Coupled State-Space Modelling, Control, and Policy Distillation for Hybrid Rigid-Pneumatic Manipulators
Hybrid manipulators combine motorized rigid joints with pressure-actuated origami segments.Markerless Multi-Modal Autonomous Robotic Inspection of Large Space Structures
Future orbital infrastructures, such as deployable antennas, solar farms, and large orbital platforms will require autonomous inspection systems able to operate with limited prior knowledge and…Combining Evasive and Braking Reactions for Safety Reference Models in Automated Vehicles
Computational models of careful and competent human drivers are essential for scenario-based evaluation of automated driving systems (ADS).From Target Selection to Digging: A Learning-Based Framework for Continuous Autonomous Excavation
Repeated excavation continuously reshapes pile geometry, requiring an autonomous excavator to adapt its digging targets and coordinate motion across successive excavation cycles.PolyUMI: Accessible Visual-Tactile-Audio Data Collection for Object Inference and Manipulation
Humans typically rely on vision, touch, hearing, and proprioception to perceive contact and adapt their actions during manipulation.Self-Supervised Anchoring of Fingertip Sensing to Proprioception and Proactive Actions for Robot Imitation Learning
Robotic imitation learning often relies on external cameras, yet local interaction cues such as object proximity, contact onset, and grasp state are difficult to observe near the fingertips because…System Identification of an Octocopter in Hover using Full-Harmonic Orthogonal Multisine Inputs
A new method for multi-input flight maneuver design for system identification is presented.Retrieve-to-Localize: Bridging Large Language Models and LiDAR Geometry for Spatial Grounding
LiDAR provides precise geometric information for spatial perception tasks such as object detection in autonomous driving and outdoor robotics.
