SG^2SLAM: Spatial Geometry-Informed 3D Gaussian Splatting SLAM for Monocular Outdoor Navigation
Monocular outdoor navigation requires robust camera motion estimation and a dense, navigable map, where 3D Gaussian Splatting SLAM serves this task through an explicit differentiable…HIDRA: Hierarchical Dual-Routing Attention for Replay-Free Lifelong Imitation Learning
Robotic agents operating in real-world environments must adapt continuously from a stream of multimodal demonstrations, often under constraints that preclude storing or revisiting past data.A 2-DOF MultiBody Track Joint for Race Car Optimization
TrackJoint is a Modelica MultiBody component that turns a three-dimensional road surface into a joint with two degrees of freedom.I Won't Know Until I Try: Interactive Information Gathering for Long-Horizon Manipulation
Long-horizon manipulation often depends on object properties that cannot be reliably inferred from appearance alone.ElevateHead: Decide Once, Then Commit: When the Action Head Matters for Multimodal Imitation
Robots that learn from people often see several valid ways to do the same task: pass an obstacle on the left or on the right, open the microwave or move the kettle first.Enabling Motion-Induced WiFi-CSI Sensing in Multi-Robot Systems: A Simulation Framework
WiFi Channel State Information (CSI) enables fine-grained sensing of spatial relationships between wireless devices.Cut a Wall, See a Wall: Identity Substitution in Occluded Point-Cloud Perception for Construction Robots
Construction robots must label building elements they can only partly see.T-ConSG: A LiDAR-Based Real-Time Temporal Construction Scene Graph for Dynamic and Evolving Environments
Dynamic and continuously evolving environments present significant challenges for robotic mapping and scene understanding, particularly on construction sites where moving agents, temporary…BEHAVIOR-Spatial Benchmark: Evaluating Spatial Understanding for Robotics
Robot tasks require grounding spatial language in physical scenes, but task success alone cannot establish whether spatial instructions are followed.Extended LASMP: Language Aided Subset Sampling Based Motion Planner for Drone Navigation
This paper proposes a command-aligned sampling distribution that incorporates navigation commands directly into the exploration process to improve the efficiency of sampling-based motion planning…Lightweight Change Detection for Adaptive Collective Perception in Dynamic Environments
Swarm robotics enables scalable inspection through collective perception, where robots infer environmental properties from distributed observations.Learning Interaction-Aware Path Corrections from Unlabeled Trajectories: A LiDAR-Based Sim-to-Real GNN Framework for Construction Robots
Construction robots operating near workers require navigation that can anticipate human motion while remaining robust to dynamic and unstructured site conditions.DSGN: A Dual-Stream Gated Network for Scalable Simultaneous Surveillance and Containment
The simultaneous surveillance and containment (SSC) problem arises in multi-robot applications such as perimeter security and environmental monitoring, where robots must survey a region of interest…Doppler-aided Position-Velocity Tracking of Hidden Objects using mmWave Radar
Safe indoor operation requires autonomous tracking of objects that are not directly visible to the robot.X-World: Transferring Video Priors to Variable-View Robot Control
Video diffusion models provide a source of interaction representations for robot control, but transferring these representations requires reconciling variable camera inputs with heterogeneous action…RoboDuo: Attempt, Check and Atomic Recovery through Code for Vision-Language-Action Models
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models map a language instruction and the current observation directly to actions, without checking whether the instruction has been completed.HumanoidNDM: Closing the Training-Deployment Gap of Motion Tracking via Humanoid Neural Dynamics Model
Humanoid robots have recently achieved remarkable success in motion tracking.Semantic-Coupled Perception Framework for Autonomous Laparoscope Control
In minimally invasive surgery (MIS), maintaining an appropriate field of view (FoV) is essential for surgical safety and efficiency.PS-DLO: Property- and Spatially Aware Deformable Linear Object Manipulation Policy
Deformable linear objects (DLO) pose a coupled perception and control challenge: their slender geometry makes precise localization difficult, while their deformations depend on object-specific…Execution Logs Sway VLM Judges of Robot Progress
Vision-language models now grade robot videos, and text placed beside the frames can change their verdicts.
