PhyVisGen: Physically and Visually High-Fidelity Robotic Manipulation Data Generation
Large-scale manipulation demonstrations are essential for learning robust visuomotor policies, yet real-world data collection is expensive and difficult to scale.CODA: Depth-Aligned Scene Completion and Object Decomposition from a Single RGB-D Image
Robots operating safely in cluttered everyday environments often need to infer scene geometry from partial observations.History-Conditioned Flow Matching for Probabilistic Dynamics of Tendon-Driven Continuum Robots
Deterministic dynamics modeling of tendon-driven continuum robots remains challenging owing to uncertainties in material behavior, tendon transmission, friction, and contact.Deploying Foundation Models for Embodied Navigation
We present and tackle two problems associated with deploying Foundation Models (FMs) on Embodied Agents performing navigation: 1) Training bias in FMs leading to poor personalization in unseen…CDKF-Track: Cluster-aware Data-Driven Kalman Filtering for Cooperative 3D Multi-Object Tracking
Multi-Object Tracking (MOT) is essential for EdgeAI perception systems, where accurate object localization and reliable identification enable safe decision-making.Teaching Reinforcement Learning and Humanoid Robotics to High-School Students: An Expert-Validated Curriculum Design on a Low-Cost Open Platform
Lower cost open source robots and reinforcement learning (RL) simulation tools create new opportunities for precollege students to engage with contemporary robotics.SG-CPG: Severity-Gated Central Pattern Generators for Adaptive Quadruped Locomotion under Continuous Actuator Degradation
An animal with a weakened limb does not necessarily switch its gait, instead it unloads the affected limb, re-coordinates the remaining limbs, and scales its response with injury severity.MatcherCompass: A Deployment-Aware Benchmark to Guide Image Matcher Selection in the Wild
Field robots operating across time of day and sensing modalities require accurate image correspondences within onboard time and resource budgets.MotionForge: A Data Generation Pipeline and Large-Scale Benchmark for Long-Horizon Manipulation of Dynamic Objects with Domain Shifts
Recent advances in learning-based robot policies have demonstrated promising progress, yet they are predom- inantly evaluated in static or quasi-static environments.Induced Riemannian Metrics for Motion Planning with Constraints
In constrained motion planning problems, task and loop-closure constraints restrict a robot's motion to a curved, lower-dimensional submanifold of its configuration space.The Cartesian Hand: In-Hand Manipulation with All-Linear Fingers
Robotic manipulation has increasingly pursued human-like dexterous hands with many articulated degrees of freedom, offering rich manipulation capabilities at the cost of mechanical and control…Zephyron: Integrated Design and Analytical Evaluation of a Solar-Assisted Mobile Manipulator for Multimodal Environmental Reconnaissance and Distributed Visual Inference
Environmental reconnaissance needs mobile platforms that carry sensors, preserve measurement context, and return interpretable evidence under limited energy and communication.Designing an Efficient Excavator Bucket for Lunar ISRU: A Comparative Study with Vision-Based Fill and Displacement Analysis
This paper present a spiral-cavity wheel for lunar regolith excavation and a sensor-light evaluation stack that jointly estimates fill ratio (vision), sinkage (vision), and specific energy from…AgriGen: Large-Scale Scene Generation Framework for Photorealistic Agricultural Robotics Simulation
Agricultural robotics is advancing rapidly, yet progress remains constrained by limited field access, lack of control over field conditions, geographic variability, and seasonal crop cycles.Dual Covariance Gaussian Splatting SLAM: Decoupling Rendering and Registration for Robust Real-Time Tracking
ICP-based 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) SLAM tracks in real time by registering incoming frames against map Gaussians, using each primitive's covariance for both rendering and registration.Fisheye-VLA: Decoupling Coverage and Acuity for Manipulation with a Single Fisheye Camera
Manipulation requires both broad scene awareness and detailed local feedback, yet conventional camera rigs provide them through separate front and wrist cameras.PLAT: Sparse Timed Keyframe Motion Tracking for Humanoid Control via Privileged Latent Transition Learning
Humanoid motion tracking policies rely on dense frame-by-frame references, limiting their use as high-level motion controllers for planning and interactive motion generation.MedVLA: A Hierarchical Vision-Language-Action Framework for Closed-Loop Precision Medical Robot Manipulation
Precision medical robotics demands adaptive decision-making under strict safety, interpretability, and execution constraints.Minimal Recurrent Behavioral Memory for Imitation under Partial Observability
What is the least recurrent memory needed to reproduce a specified expert under partial observability?VisForce: Visual Grounding of Current and Desired Forces for Goal-Conditioned Dexterous Manipulation
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have emerged as general-purpose robotic manipulation policies.
