Resilient Motion Planning for Free-Flying Space Robots under Actuator Failures
Free-flying robots rely on multiple thrusters to maneuver in space.Time-Efficient Iterative Learning Planning for Safety-Critical Dynamic Obstacle Avoidance
Autonomous mobile robots require timeefficient planning and safety-critical dynamic obstacle avoidance under constrained onboard computation.Spatial-Semantic Uncertainty in VLM-Based Target Search: Balancing Exploration and Identification
Robots searching for a target from a natural-language description must determine not only where to search, but also which observed candidate is the desired target.SenseFuse: Label-Free Fusion of Image and Shape Encoders for Open-Vocabulary 3D Instance Segmentation
Open-vocabulary scene understanding is fundamental for robotics, laying the groundwork for spatial reasoning and object manipulation.Visual Sim-to-Real Learning for Robotic Insertion under Geometric Variations: Application to Rebar Installation
Rebar insertion is among the most repetitive and physically demanding tasks on construction sites, and a contact-rich problem at 1.4 mm clearance.Worst-Case Hidden-Vehicle Trajectory Search in Spatiotemporal Occlusion Regions
Occlusion creates fundamental uncertainty in autonomous driving.Towards AI-enhanced control: a numerical technique for trajectory smoothing of a parallel robot for pancreatic surgery
The paper presents a numerical approach for the end-effector trajectory smoothing of a parallel robot designed for minimally invasive pancreatic surgery.S4R: Scaling for Rigid-Body Interpenetration Resolution
Rigid-body interpenetration frequently occurs in procedurally assembled and generated scenes and must be removed before downstream applications such as physical simulation.Integrated Guidance and Control of a Mother-Child UAV-UGV System for Cooperative Missions
Autonomous recovery of a small multirotor onto a hovering multirotor carrier differs from recovery onto ground or shipborne platforms because the recovery surface is itself an actively controlled…Learning Slope-Adaptive Whole-Body Locomotion for Humanoid Robots in Roofing Construction
Roofing requires workers to coordinate locomotion, balance, and work-related body motions on pitched surfaces, creating a challenging application for humanoid robots.OmniMimic: Dynamics-completed Motion Augmentation for Multi-style Omnidirectional Quadruped Locomotion
Animal demonstrations provide quadruped robots with natural and distinctive gait styles that are difficult to specify through hand-crafted rewards.Walking on the Slope: Stable Bipedal Gaits with Genetic-Algorithm-Optimized Trajectories
This paper presents the kinematic and dynamic modeling, trajectory generation, and stability analysis of an 8-degree-of-freedom (DOF) biped robot walking on flat and inclined terrain.Accelerating Visual Policy Learning with Sampling-Based Model Predictive Control
Learning visual policies for locomotion and manipulation requires coordinating contact with the environment and can incur substantial computation and GPU memory costs.V2-STRep: VLM-Grounded Structured Task Representations for Reusable Robot Skills Acquired from Generated Videos
Human manipulation videos provide rich motion and interaction cues for acquiring robot skills without robot demonstrations.CoRef-GS: Cooperative Referring Gaussian Splatting for Multi-Agent Scene Understanding
Referring scene understanding for embodied robots requires grounding object- and relation-centric language queries from a designated viewpoint.Semantic SLAM in Precision Agriculture using Bayesian Inference
This paper presents a real-time semantic world modeling framework specialized for precision agriculture using autonomous robots.Bayesian Continuum Robot Dynamics and State Estimation
Recent factor graph approaches to continuum robot state estimation have been successful for quasi-static applications and spatiotemporal estimation using white-noise kinematic motion priors.INSPECT: Learning Robot View Selection from Assistant Use
Robots inspecting an assembly must determine which parts are present and whether they are correctly installed.A Simulation Platform for AUV Fault Recovery: Exploring LLM-Based Diagnostic Strategies
Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) operating beyond reliable communications must recover from failures without human intervention.SmellDiffusion: Diffusion-Based Quadruped Navigation with Olfactory Scene Graphs
A robot sent to a named gas leak must preserve gas identity, estimate the source, and navigate to the resulting goal.
