Dynamics-Induced Commitment in Learning-Based Robotic Penalty Kicks
Learning in robotic games is constrained not only by strategic information but also by what the body can still execute.Learning Scene-Aware Humanoid Locomotion through 3D Clutter from Immersive Human Demonstrations
While learning from human motions has enabled highly dynamic humanoid skills such as dancing and martial arts in obstacle-free space, traversal through densely cluttered environments remains…Talk to Me, Jarvis: An Open-Source Edge-Deployable Voice Assistant Framework for Autonomous Racecars
Recent advances in large language models have improved their effectiveness as back-end components for voice assistants, particularly in intent understanding and context-aware input classification.Demonstration Synthesis from a Single Scan via Gaussian Splatting for Visuomotor Policy Learning
Training a visuomotor policy calls for abundant demonstrations that closely match the target environment, yet collecting them anew remains expensive.Noctif3R: Feed-Forward Monocular Real-Time SLAM for Photon-Limited Scenes on Embedded Hardware
Robots carrying out tasks in dark environments need to localize from a single RGB camera, in light so low that the per-pixel signal approaches the sensor's own noise, on a power-constrained onboard…MetaPusher: Meta Learning and Planning for Nonprehensile Manipulation of Unseen Objects with Rapid Online Adaption
Manipulating previously unseen objects remains challenging, as their dynamics depend on latent physical properties, such as friction and mass distribution, that cannot be inferred from perception…Signal-Centric Remote Sensing via Alternative Preprocessing and Acoustic Processing for ML-Driven Applications
The dominant method of processing sonar data is using image-based representations, requiring the preprocessing of image data on autonomous systems.SAGE: Safety-Aligned Gradient Enforcement for Human--Robot Collaboration
Multi-party human-robot collaboration poses a dual challenge: robot decisions should remain interpretable and auditable, while executed actions must satisfy safety constraints during physical…Diverse and Adaptable Arm Coordination for Octopus-Crawling via Diffusion-Based Uncertainty-Aware Optimization
Octopus crawling motivates soft robots that exploit redundancy, yet discovering and organizing diverse coordination modes for adaptation remains challenging.Same World, Different Knowledge: When Isolated Audits Misjudge World-Model Repairs
A repair favored under an isolated input fault can be inferior when deployed modules share the faulty information.Acoustic Ellipses: Bio-Inspired Omnidirectional Echolocation in Cooperative Multi-Agent Systems using Frequency Sweeps
Inspired by the flight and song of birds, we propose an approach that enables cooperating agents to effectively identify obstacles in their environment by having a stationary source agent emit a…Feedback-Modulated Harmonic Policies for Quadruped Locomotion
Learned quadruped locomotion policies commonly map observations directly to joint-level actions, leaving the periodic structure of locomotion implicit in the policy.Missing Bridges: Composition-Aware Active Imitation Learning
Active imitation learning reduces expert effort by allowing a learner to request the demonstrations it needs.Causal-History Test-Time Scaling for Failure Recovery in Autoregressive World-Action Models
World-action models (WAMs) have emerged as a promising paradigm for robot manipulation by jointly modeling future visual dynamics and robot actions.Online Multimodal Workload Assessment in Contact-Rich Physical Human-Robot Interaction
Contact-rich physical human--robot interaction (pHRI) imposes time-varying demands associated with physical interaction, motor regulation, and physiological response, motivating continuous…Geometric Shortcuts for Complex Trunk Postures: Dual-Helicity Coupling Enables Low-Dimensional Control
How do elephant trunks generate complex postures without relying solely on fine segmental activation?CLASP: A Cluster-Level Autonomous Selective Picking Robot with a Soft Rolling-Band Gripper for Fresh-Market Blueberry Harvesting
Fresh-market blueberries require selective, gentle picking, which is labor-intensive and expensive.An Efficient Algorithm for Minimum-Pressure Growth Planning of Vine Robots
Vine robots navigate cluttered environments by extending from their tip.Characterizing Refraction-Induced Ranging Bias in Underwater Collaborative Localization
This work studies how refraction-induced bias on acoustic ranging affects multi-agent collaborative localization in a range of oceanographic conditions and spatial scales.PESTO: Formally Correct Registration of LiDAR Point Clouds with Limited Overlap
In this paper we tackle the problem of aligning LiDAR point clouds also known as the point cloud registration problem.
