NaViRrator: Robot Navigation from Human-Readable Maps through a Learned Visual Route
Human-readable maps provide an intuitive interface for specifying robot destinations, but connecting their schematic geometry to egocentric observations remains challenging.LEMCA: LLM-Guided Synthesis of Efficient Mode-Switching Control Architectures
Physical control tasks in the natural world, such as driving or object manipulation, frequently exhibit dramatic variations in sensory and compute complexity over time.The EventCV Library for Event-Based Robotic Vision
Event cameras detect per-pixel brightness changes asynchronously on microsecond timescales, with high dynamic range and low power draw.FAN: Foresight Action Normalization for Continual Adaptation of Vision-Language-Action Models
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models pre-trained on large-scale, closed datasets have demonstrated remarkable success across diverse robotic manipulation tasks.MicroHookACT: Monocular Microscopic Vision Guided Visuomotor Policy for Flexible Microelectrode Hooking
Automated needle-loop hooking is a critical step in flexible microelectrode (FME) implantation.ProTracer: Proprioception-Guided Failure Diagnosis in Robot Manipulation
This paper presents a comprehensive framework for robot manipulation failure analysis that includes binary failure detection, failure categorization, explanation generation, and the additional…AVT-Fabric: Active Visuo-Tactile Perception via Adaptive Evidence Selection for Efficient Robotic Fabric Comparison
Robotic fabric comparison needs to actively combine visual appearance and tactile cues.MarineCraft: Enabling Rapid Prototyping of Underwater Robots via Modular Construction
Underwater robot development is often hindered by the complexities of waterproofing and wiring, which significantly delay the rapid prototyping process.A Scene Language Model for Open-Vocabulary Scene Mapping
Open-vocabulary 3D scene mapping aims to build a persistent representation of the objects in an environment.Stabilizing Trajectory Outputs in End-to-End Autonomous Driving via SC-IMM Based Teacher Signals
End-to-End autonomous driving models commonly predict future waypoints from sensor inputs and convert them into vehicle control commands through a downstream controller.A Unified Dynamic Force Guidance Framework for Performance-Optimized Kinesthetic Teaching
Collaborative robots are increasingly deployed in industrial scenarios characterized by frequent product changeovers.FootQuery: Future-Touchdown-Guided Retrieval from Depth History for Perceptive Humanoid Locomotion
Humanoid locomotion over complex terrain requires anticipating footholds that may no longer be visible at touchdown.Robotic Multiphase Interaction: Manipulating Coupled Liquid and Solid Dynamics with a World Model
This work presents \textit{Robotic Multiphase Interaction (RMI)}, a setting in which liquid enters a porous material and interacts mechanically with its deforming solid skeleton.AtomEgo: Exploring Ego-Robot Integration for Embodied Foundation Model Pretraining
Embodied foundation models are constrained by the limited scale and diversity of robot demonstrations, motivating the use of large-scale egocentric human interaction data.Learning Distance-Conditioned Object Transport for Humanoid Loco-Manipulation from a Single Motion Clip
Motion tracking can reproduce humanoid loco-manipulation from a single retargeted motion clip, but a policy trained on a fixed reference primarily reproduces its demonstrated transport outcome.MT-WAM: Reorienting the One-Pass Predictive Representation Toward Action Generation
Fast-WAM shows that video-action co-training improves control without generating future video at inference, making the representation from a single video diffusion Transformer forward central to…Adaptive Rollout Truncation Based on Epistemic Uncertainty for Efficient Offline World Model Training
Accurate neural world models are central to model-based robotics, where they enable robots to predict future states from previously observed trajectories.FORTE: Task-Adaptive Force Capability Optimization for Mobile Manipulators
Effective physical interaction control in robotic manipulation requires not only kinematically feasible motion but also sufficient force-interaction capability.Adaptive World Memory 3D Foundation Model for Scalable 3D Mapping, Localization, and Rendering
Recent 3D foundation models enable generalizable geometric reasoning from RGB images but remain limited in persistent memory, scalability, and renderable scene modeling.DPed-VLN: A Benchmark for Socially Compliant Vision-and-Language Navigation in Dynamic Pedestrian Environments
Vision-and-language navigation (VLN) has advanced rapidly in static indoor environments, but robots operating in human-populated spaces must ground language while responding to moving pedestrians…
