Why Learning Rediscovers the Closed-Form Diagonal Regularizer
We identify a diagonal saturation principle in modal inverse problems: when truncation noise is isotropic, the Bayes-optimal Tikhonov shape is a closed-form power law Gamma_k proportional to…CT-SAFR: Safe and Interpretable Chain-of-Thought Reasoning for Autonomous Robots: A Multi-Layered Verification Framework for Trustworthy AI-Driven Robotic Decision Making
Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting enables LLMs to perform explicit, step-by-step reasoning, creating opportunities for sophisticated autonomous robots.PccDiffuser: Multi-solution Motion Planning for Continuum Robots
We present the PccDiffuser, a conditional diffusion framework for continuum robots that learns a multimodal distribution over complete configuration-space paths and samples multiple candidate…HiRAD: A Flexible Large-Scale AGV Routing System
Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGVs) substantially boost warehouse throughput, but routing large-scale AGV fleets remains challenging.GTA-2: A Multi-VLM Framework for Synthesizing Robot Manipulation Skills via Grounded Task Axes
Robotic manipulation tasks are often decomposed into behaviors or skills.InstantMimic: A High Performance System for Learning Physics-based Skills in Seconds
Physics-based character control is a long-standing challenge in computer graphics and robotics, requiring policies that satisfy complex dynamics while producing realistic motion.RealSimLoop: Online Real-to-Sim Adaptation via Differentiable Reduced-Order Simulation with Vision Feedback
Real-world observations of deformable objects are often sparse or surface-level, while downstream tasks require hidden physical quantities such as internal deformation, stress fields, and…CLFTv2: Efficient Camera-LiDAR Fusion for Semantic Segmentation via Hierarchical Feature Pyramids
Semantic segmentation for autonomous driving requires reliable detection of vulnerable road users (VRUs) despite heavy class imbalance.Decision Transformer for UAV-Mounted RIS-Assisted Dynamic D2D Communications
This paper studies unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-mouted reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-assisted device-to-device (D2D) communication with stochastic link activation.ViBe: Visual Behavior Adaptation for Perceptive Humanoid Whole-Body Control
Motion tracking provides a scalable recipe for humanoid whole-body control.Time-Frequency Geometric Cross-Attention for Chunked Vision-Language-Action Models
Modern vision-language-action (VLA) policies predict a whole chunk of actions: one to two seconds of coordinated motion emitted in a single forward pass.HaWMPO: Hallucination-Aware World Model-based Policy Optimization for Generalist Robot Policy
Generalist robot policies have demonstrated strong generalization across robotic manipulation tasks, yet their success rates remain limited in com- plex long-horizon scenarios.RoboDrop: Curating VLA Post-Training Data via Local Gradient Compatibility
Vision--language--action (VLA) models acquire broad generalization through large-scale pretraining, yet adapting them to a new task and robot embodiment still requires post-training on newly…AXON: A ROS 2 RMW with Shared-Memory/QUIC Transport and QKD/ML-KEM Key Establishment
Robot Operating System 2 (ROS 2) standardizes application code against a middleware interface (RMW) whose reference implementations are built on the Data Distribution Service (DDS).What Symmetry Buys a Learned Motion Planner
Learning-based motion planners pay at training what classical planners pay per query.Belief-State Engine: Augmenting LLMs for Principled Planning Under Partial Observability
Large language model agents produce fluent action sequences across a wide range of tasks, yet they fail in characteristic ways once the environment becomes partially observable.Grounding Generated Video Plans in Simulation Towards Versatile Dexterous Controllers
Generated hand-object interaction (HOI) videos provide a controllable way to propose manipulation motions.Automatic Reproducible Camera Intrinsic Calibration
Accurate camera intrinsic calibration is fundamental to robot perception, and the accuracy depends on the quality of the collected images.Assembling Two Parts in One Hand
A hallmark of human dexterity is the cooperative use of fingers, where different fingers take on distinct yet coordinated roles to accomplish fine manipu- lation, such as capping a pen with the hand…Future-Aware Flow Planning for Safe UAV Target Following
UAV target following in cluttered environments is inherently predictive: current-state followers can lag behind turns, choose blocked corridors, or trade tracking for unsafe near-horizon motion.
