QMSR: Query-Conditioned Mask-wise Expert Routing for Robust Open-Vocabulary Underwater Object Retrieval
Open-vocabulary object retrieval remains challenging in complex underwater environments.Gated Residual Body-Hand Coordination for Whole-Body Humanoid Teleoperation
Whole-body humanoid teleoperation commonly combines a motion-tracking policy with a separate dexterous-hand retargeter.TRACER: Adaptive Multi-Robot Social Navigation via Joint Human-Response Prediction and Interaction-Aware Replanning
Multi-robot navigation in human-shared spaces is inherently interactive: coordinated robot motions influence how nearby entities respond, while those responses provide valuable information for…A Convergence Framework for Deep $V$-Learning: Error Propagation and Sharp Action-Gap Bounds
We establish convergence bounds for deep $V$-learning with horizon $H$.AdaGeoVLN: Selective Geometry Across Representation Depth and Navigation Time for Vision-Language Navigation
Vision-language navigation requires aligning language with visual observations while maintaining spatial understanding over time.Asymptotically Optimal Multi-Robot Task and Motion Planning
Multi-robot task and motion planning (MR-TAMP) requires jointly reasoning about discrete task decisions and continuous collision-free motions of multiple interacting robots.SEAM: Submap-Anchored Evidence for Lifelong LiDAR Mapping under Trajectory Deformation
We propose SEAM, a LiDAR-based lifelong mapping framework.Towards Interaction Regulation from Human Feedback via Free Energy Minimization
A central challenge across control and learning is the design of mechanisms regulating the interactions between humans and autonomous agents.KINO: A Keyframe Interface for VLM Planning and Whole-Body Control in Humanoid Loco-Manipulation
Humanoid loco-manipulation requires robots to interpret task instructions and scene semantics while executing coordinated whole-body motions.Body-Motion Control of a Simulated Aerial Swarm from a First-Person View
First-person-view (FPV) teleoperation of aerial swarms requires an operator to coordinate collective translation, viewing direction, and formation spacing.SOL-SLAM: Inverse Compositional Gauss-Newton Direct Registration for Fast Sonar-Only Local SLAM
Autonomous underwater navigation typically relies on complex and expensive multi-modal sensor suites designed to prioritize global Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) accuracy.Examining the Difference in Human Behavior Between Virtual and Real-World Human-Robot Teaming
Prototyping and evaluating human-robot teaming (HRT) scenarios in the real-world is costly.CaSCo: Cascade-Aware Soft-Collision Motion Planning
Conventional motion planning treats collision as a binary constraint, although contact with different objects can have drastically different consequences.Learning Holistic Whole-Body Loco-Manipulation with a Bipedal Mobile Manipulator
Bipedal loco-manipulation enables robots to interact with objects beyond the nominal workspace of their arms by coordinating locomotion and manipulation."What's going to happen after I'm gone?": Parent Perspectives on Technology in Supporting Independent Living for Adults with Intellectual Disabilities
Adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) are increasingly transitioning from family homes towards semi-inde\-pendent living.ElastiQP: An Always-Feasible QP Solver for Constrained Robot Control
As robot capabilities increase, quadratic programming (QP)-based controllers must account for a similarly increasing number of constraints to ensure safe, reliable operation.rMuscle: Robotic Muscle Memory for Efficient Vision-Language-Action Model Inference
Factory work is a promising early scenario for embodied AI: assigning repetitive manual jobs to robots has clear economic payoff, and a structured station keeps the jobs tractable for current…Dreaming the Sound of Contact: Leveraging Video and Audio Generation for Zero-Shot Force-Aware Manipulation and Data Generation
Video generation models have advanced rapidly and can now synthesize plausible videos of robot manipulation from image and text prompts.In-Context Robot Learning with VLM Agents
Enabling robots to adapt to unfamiliar environments as readily as humans remains a moonshot goal of embodied AI.PointZero: 3D Point Track Completion for Learning Transferable 3D Dynamics
World models endow perceptual systems with the ability to predict how scenes evolve under interaction.
