CAP: Continuously Adaptive Perception-Blind Humanoid Locomotion via Learned Denoising
Humanoid locomotion across complex terrain demands forward-looking exteroception to anticipate obstacles, yet this signal is unreliable in real-world deployment, failing partially and intermittently.Memory as Plans: World-Action Modeling with Memory-Grounded Planning
Mainstream robotic policies often adopt a Markovian formulation, but many complex real-world manipulation tasks are inherently non-Markovian, requiring long-horizon memory beyond the current…Quasi-static analysis of passive stability in a novel underactuated multi-finger hand
Underactuated robotic hands achieve adaptive and robust grasping with a reduced number of actuators, but predicting the stable equilibrium pose of the grasped object remains a significant challenge.Contact-Aware Incremental Model Predictive Control for an Underactuated Aerial Manipulator
We present a robust contact-aware control framework for aerial writing on an underactuated platform.ActSafeGuard: Differentiable and Training-Aligned Constraint Enforcement for Flow-Matching Policies
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) and World-Action Models (WAMs) have demonstrated strong capabilities in general-purpose robotic manipulation, yet their generated actions may violate hard physical…Aerodynamic Prior-Free Coordinated Trajectory Generation and Tracking Control for a Tail-Sitter UAV
This paper presents a coordinated trajectory generation and tracking control framework for a tail-sitter unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), which does not require aerodynamic priors identified for a…MC-DeTra: Motion-Consistent Joint Object Detection and Socially-Aware Trajectory Forecasting in Bird's-Eye-View Images
Unified models for object detection and trajectory forecasting aim to merge perception and prediction for autonomous driving, refining actor trajectories directly over shared bird's-eye-view (BEV)…Reflex-Informed Neuromuscular Reinforcement Learning for Muscle-Driven Locomotion
Muscle-driven locomotion provides a physically grounded approach to generating realistic human movement.ORCH: Organizational Principles Enable Collective Intelligence in Embodied AI
Collective intelligence depends not only on the capabilities of individual members, but also on how those members are organized.SEED-UMI: Sharing the Exoskeleton between human and robot for onE-to-one Dexterous demonstration
Imitation learning for dexterous hands is bottlenecked by the difficulty of collecting contact-rich demonstrations that transfer faithfully to the robot.Visual-SLAM for the detection of hidden tomatoes in greenhouses by Hierarchical Localization and GLOMAP for robotized harvesting
Advanced crop monitoring inside greenhouses is becoming one of the primary objectives of research centers.Rapid Learning of Dexterous In-Hand Pen Writing through Real-Time Jacobian Estimation
Dexterous in-hand manipulation of a grasped object with an anthropomorphic hand is an unsolved frontier for robot dexterity.Learning Agent-based Model Predictive Control for Holistic Vehicle Performance
Agent-based model predictive control (AMPC) has recently been proposed as a distributed scheme that collaborates with all agents to achieve optimal holistic performance.UniMPA: A Unified Memory-Prediction-Action Model via Action-Grounded Transition Modeling
Recent advances in Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have improved robotic manipulation, yet observation-to-action learning remains limited by a fundamental transition realizability gap…EVPeriscope: Extended Perception across Aerial and Ground Vehicles with Event-based Propeller Tracking
Reliable relative localization between aerial and ground robots is a key requirement for tightly coordinated heterogeneous teams.Pelican-Sim 1.0: A General World Model Simulator for Embodied Intelligence
In this technical report, we propose Pelican-Sim 1.0, a general world model simulator for embodied intelligence that predicts future observations from visual context and robot actions to support…Efficient Vision-Language-Action Management and Serving for Robot Factories
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models show high robotic manipulation capabilities via a two-stage design: a Vision-Language Model (VLM) stage followed by an Action Diffusion Transformer (ADiT) stage.MoPA: Coordinated Mobile Manipulation via Subsystem-Specific Perception Alignment
Mobile manipulation requires perceptual evidence at different spatial scales for base motion and arm control, while the two action modalities remain kinematically coupled.Uncertainty-Aware Conflict Detection Against Operator-Conditioned Weather Hazards
Strategic flight plan validation in Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) environments requires robust methods for predicting aircraft state uncertainty and detecting potential conflicts with dynamic airspace…RodForesight: A World Model Enhanced Diffusion Policy for Slender Rod Insertion
Slender rod insertion arises in precision manufacturing, where millimetre scale diameter and tight clearances demand accurate perception and control.
