Tiny Recursive Policy: Recursive Latent Refinement for Visuomotor Control
Behaviour cloning has become a powerful approach for robotic manipulation, but many modern policies reconstruct their internal representation from a fixed observation window at each prediction and…Active Reachability Learning for Humanoid Recoverability Monitoring
Deploying humanoid task policies requires reliable runtime monitors that anticipate unrecoverable falls in time to trigger a fallback.TinyFlow: Breaking the Warping Bottleneck for Edge Optical Flow
High-performance optical flow networks are difficult to deploy on resource-constrained edge accelerators because their iterative refinement warps features by the current flow, which relies on…Contract-Based Agentic Systems Engineering: Delegation as Quotient for Assured System Design
A component an agent builds from a prompt can satisfy it and still break the system it joins, because the prompt omits what its neighbours assume of it.Resilient Decentralized Radar-LiDAR-Inertial Odometry in Challenging Subterranean Environments
Accurate localization in GPS-denied and visually degraded environments affected by smoke, dust, or fog remains a critical challenge for autonomous systems.Know When to Escalate: Critic-Guided Adaptive Execution for Cloud-Local Embodied Agents
Recent advances in foundation-model agents have enabled increasingly capable embodied systems for long-horizon planning and interaction.OASIS: Online Anchor-centric Scene Inference System for Open-Vocabulary Retrieval and Navigation in Dynamic Environments
Reliable robotic mapping in dynamic real-world environments is essential for embodied intelligence and long-term autonomy.PATH: Preference-Aware Traversability Estimation for Robotic Teleoperation in Off-Road Navigation
Traversability estimation is critical for ground vehicle teleoperation, yet existing methods often neglect the human operator's preferences for speed and risk tolerance.CMAR-search: Commonsense and Memory Augmented Reasoning for Object Search in Dynamic Interactive Environments
Dynamic interactive object search in large-scale human environments presents substantial challenges for existing methods.Continuous-Time Motion Planning and Steering with Global Convergence
Motion planning is central to robotics, and it is increasingly used to correct the motions proposed by learned planners and policies.Co^2Gen: Collaboratively Generating Task Plans for Decentralized Multi-Robot and Human Collaboration
Visual Language Action (VLA) models are designed to be generalist robot models that can be implemented across embodiments, tasks and environments.Live Thread Reconstruction for Autonomous Manipulation
Autonomous robotic surgery has drawn increased attention in recent years due to its potential to relieve surgeons of time-consuming, mentally straining, and tedious tasks, particularly during…When One Step Is Enough: An Empirical Study of Euler Integration in Flow-Matching Policies
Flow matching is now the dominant approach for vision-language action (VLA) robot policies, thanks to its expressiveness and simple training objective.Causal Analysis of Failures of Cyber-Physical Systems with Continuous Inputs
Modern autonomous Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs), such as self-driving cars, operate in increasingly complex environments while expected to maintain high reliability.EBV-CAN: Vision--Language Grounding for Contact-Aided Endoscope Navigation
Flexible endoscopes exploit structural compliance to traverse narrow lumens, pipes, and cavities, where navigation involves distributed environmental contact.Adaptive Aerial Loco-Manipulation Policy Learning via LLM-Assisted Proactive Task Generation
Loco-manipulation extends the workspace of conventional manipulation by combining mobility with physical interaction, while aerial loco-manipulation further expands this capability into…Robot Motion Transition with a Human Motion Prior
Humanoid motion-tracking policies can reproduce diverse behaviors, yet connecting independently acquired motions into a continuous sequence remains challenging.TEAR: Task-Evidence Authority Routing for Robotic Manipulation
Reliable robotic manipulation in field-deployed settings requires more than executing a capable controller.ProTrav: Probabilistic Traversability with Elevation Uncertainty Propagation for Risk-aware Off-road Navigation
Reliable traversability estimation is essential for autonomous navigation on unstructured terrain.LocoManiLab: A Unified Testbed for Data, Policies, Controllers, and Deployment in Humanoid Loco-Manipulation
Humanoid robots must coordinate locomotion and manipulation in everyday environments, yet progress is difficult to assess across differing policies, controllers, and task settings.
