A Transparent 3-DoF Assistive Device for Upper-Limb Tremor and Ataxia Compensation: Design and Experimental Validation
Assistive devices for patients with neurodegenerative movement disorders must combine high mechanical transparency with the ability to generate corrective interaction forces.IORA: Irregular Object Immobilization under Restricted Actuation
Stable grasping under task-specific disturbances is important for robotic manipulation.LAST-V2X: Language-Driven Adaptive Scenario Synthesis and Testing for Communication-Induced Failures in V2X Safety Applications
Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication enables connected vehicles to make safety-critical decisions, but delayed, missing, or incorrect information can compromise driving safety.In-Context Learning World Models for Robot Dual-Arm Manipulation of Soft Garment with Partial Observations
Robust manipulation of soft objects, such as garments, is a critical skill for service and household robots to adopt, but remains challenging due to its high-dimensional state space, and…UniFlowWAM: A Unified World-Action Model with Visual Semantics and 4D Geometry
Robot demonstrations record what the robot saw and what it did.TRACE: Traversability-aware Reactive Navigation via VLM-driven Adaptive Constraints Estimation
This paper presents TRACE, a traversability-aware reactive navigation framework designed for the autonomous operation of ground robots in unstructured forest environments.Revisiting Distribution Matching for State-to-Vision Policy Distillation in Laparoscopic Robotic Manipulation
End-to-end control policies trained via Reinforcement Learning (RL) have emerged as an alternative to conventional surgical robotic control approaches, with recent studies exploring state-based…Multi-Tool Selection for Robotic Systems: Comparing Semantic Retrieval and LLM
Natural-language interfaces allow users to command robotic systems without interacting directly with mission planners or robotics middleware.Demonstration-Based Robotic Feeding Using Dynamic Movement Primitives
This paper presents a demonstration-based robotic feeding framework that integrates human demonstration, Dynamic Movement Primitive-based motion planning, vision-based scene perception, and robot…Multimodal Progress-Residual Fusion for Anticipating Navigation Retreat in Robotic Flexible Endoscopy
Flexible robotic endoscopes provide access through tortuous anatomy, where friction, deformation, and wall interaction separate commanded insertion from useful distal progress.Tilt-Rotor Quadcopter with Learned Residual Control and Mode-Dependent State Estimation
Tilt-rotor quadcopters redirect thrust for translation without banking, but complicate modeling, state estimation, and disturbance rejection.AstroBench: Benchmarking Free-Floating Capture and Space Robotic Manipulation
Capturing a loose object inside a spacecraft requires a robot to approach a target that can translate and rotate, and whose motion changes when contact is made.To Route or to Adapt? Multi-Expert Diffusion Planners in Unseen Regions
Diffusion trajectory planners with domain-specific experts face a practical question in unseen regions: can they rely on selecting among existing experts, or must the planner itself adapt?RGraph-Eval: Task-Grounded Scene Graphs for Evaluating Robot Video Generation
Generated robot videos can look convincing while depicting the wrong interaction: a different object is moved, a grasp disappears, or a placement ends outside its destination.Navigating human-robot interaction challenges in private and residential aged care homes
This chapter explores how robotic systems and ambient intelligence can enhance care for older adults in residential aged care (RAC) homes and private homes.Calibration-free IMU-based Relative Orientation Estimation under Dynamic Human Motion
Recent magnetometer-free inertial measurement unit (IMU) methods can reduce drift in joint motion estimation using rigid-body constraints, but they typically require pre-calibrated sensor locations…Memory before Goal: Role of Pre-History Memory for Humanoid Loco-Manipulation
Humanoid loco-manipulation in dynamic scenes is non-Markovian: cues vanish as objects change or are hidden, or leave the view as the robot turns and walks, yet whole-body vision-language-action…Inside-JEPA: From Prediction to Relational Grounding in Latent World Models
Joint-embedding predictive architectures (JEPAs) learn world models in latent space, enabling efficient planning but leaving their states opaque.Consistent Distributed Invariant EKF SLAM with Point and Object Features
Multi-robot SLAM allows robots to improve their estimates by exchanging map information, but repeated exchanges create unknown correlations between local estimators.Learning Robot Behavior Priors from Non-Robotic Synthetic Data
Real robot data, rich across tasks and morphologies, is often treated as the bottleneck for training robot learning models, including embodied foundation models that aim for zero-shot physical…
