Higher-Order Approximation of Exit Functionals in Sampling-Based Stochastic Model Predictive Control
Safety evaluation in sampling-based stochastic model predictive control often requires numerical estimation of exit functionals.Cosserat Modeling of Trimmed Helicoid Soft Arms with a Separated-Section Constitutive Law
Cosserat rod models for soft robots usually construct sectional stiffness by summing material properties over a common cross-section.Beyond the Flat Seafloor: A Closed-Form Two-View Constraint to Aid Sidescan Sonar Reconstruction
Sidescan sonar is a common sensor for both manned and autonomous marine exploration and mapping, yet very few methods build upon or exploit the geometric projection model of the sensor.Learning to Plan in Human-Robot Collaboration: Multimodal Reinforcement Learning for Adaptive Interaction
Robot assistants for older adults and people with disabilities need to perform collaborative tasks with users effectively.JAMB: Joint Action-Motion Diffusion for Bimanual Manipulation
Coordinated bimanual manipulation is challenging because the motion of either arm can alter the shared 3D scene and thereby affect the other arm.GINIO: A Geometric SO(3)-Equivariant Interface for Neural Inertial Odometry
Neural inertial odometry increasingly uses networks as learned measurements inside filtering pipelines.Learning from Humans for Proactive Assistance in Human-Robot Collaborative Transport
We focus on human-robot collaborative transport, a challenging task of broad relevance spanning logistics, manufacturing, and the home, in which a user and a robot work together to relocate a large…HOTICE: Whole-Body Humanoid Object Transportation in Cluttered Environments
Object transportation is a fundamental capability for humanoid robots operating in real-world, human-centric environments, yet existing methods struggle when clutter constrains free space around…Capability-Aware Arbitration for Semantic Intent-Based Shared Control
Shared control often allocates robot authority based on confidence in inferred human intent, assuming reliable autonomous execution.Angular momentum analysis on Karate roundhouse kicks: a longitudinal case study
Human gait in reality extends beyond straight-line walking, with some situations even requiring drastic back-and-forth rotations.PARTE: Plane-Assisted Robust Transformation Estimation for Point Cloud Registration
Global point-cloud registration remains challenging when limited overlap, repetitive geometry, and sensor noise produce correspondence sets dominated by outliers.VLAQuantBench: Closed-Loop Evaluation of Post-Training Quantization for Vision-Language-Action Models
Post-training quantization reduces the memory requirements of vision-language-action (VLA) models, but precision selection must account for the interaction between layer scope, numerical format, and…Norm2Tex: Augmenting Visuo-Tactile Simulations with Texture
Large-scale datasets are essential for training generalist robot control policies.Effects of Assistance Delay on Joint Mechanics and Energetics in Biological Torque Control of a Hip Exoskeleton
Biological torque control directly maps an estimated human joint moment to exoskeleton assistance, providing a task-agnostic strategy for supporting diverse locomotor activities.REDACT: Robust Perceptive Locomotion under Unseen Visual Corruption
Depth-conditioned locomotion policies have demonstrated impressive agile maneuvers, but can be steered to unpredictable actions when observations are outside their training distribution.A bioinspired internal model-based online estimator for planar pursuit
Bioinspired feedback controls for pursuit, tracking, and collective motion are often expressed in terms of the relative configuration between interacting agents.Brace Yourself: Task-Conditioned Environmental Bracing for Forceful Humanoid Manipulation
Forceful manipulation is challenging for humanoid robots because interaction forces can disturb whole-body balance.Scenario MPC with STL Specifications and Pareto-Based Feasibility Repair
Temporal logic is a formal language for reasoning about system behaviors over time.Latent Telepathy: Multi-Robot Communication with Self-Supervised Perceptual Latents
In a decentralized multi-robot team under partial observability, the fact that decides a robot's next action is often visible only to a teammate.Steering Through Contact: A Finite-Support Motion Model for Single-Track Center-Articulated Robots
Trajectory planning and control in field robotics rely on predicting how propulsion and steering affect vehicle motion when contact points undergo slip.
