Whole-Body Motion Guided Reference Generation for Uncertainty-Aware Compliant Assistance
Exoskeletons have shown great potential for augmenting human physical capabilities, yet generating reliable assistance remains challenging because human motion patterns and interaction requirements…GelSlim 5.0: Unifying Vision and Touch with a Single Fingertip Camera
Vision and touch provide complementary cues for object pose and local contact geometry, but external cameras are often occluded at the contact site.Probabilistic Energy Modeling Unifies Versatile Swarm Control
Robotic swarms must coordinate across diverse missions, yet existing controllers often require redesign, retuning, or retraining when objectives change.CoHelix: Event-Based Multi-Propeller Rotation-Rate Tracking with Shared Projective Geometry
Estimating propeller rates from a moving event camera requires separating blade rotation from the changing image geometry.FocusVLA: Future-Intent Guided Dynamic View Routing for Vision-Language-Action Models
Vision-language-action (VLA) models have become an important paradigm for robotic manipulation by unifying visual perception, language understanding, and action generation.FastHarness: Experience-Driven Review Scheduling for Vision-Language-Action Policies
Agentic robot systems combine language-model reasoning with robot policies to monitor execution and recover from failures.PhysTrace: Interpretable Temporal Evaluation of Physical Consistency in Video Generative Models
World action models increasingly rely on pretrained video models assumed to capture physical dynamics for prediction, planning, and action generation.A Sparse Topometric Graph for Scalable Cross-Session Indoor Navigation
A conventional embodied agent in an indoor environment builds a map by accumulating noisy real-world measurements and results from heavy inference to guide navigation.VecTile: A Low-Cost Flexible Tactile Array for 3-DoF Force Sensing
Tactile sensing provides robots with contact information difficult to obtain from vision alone.Skeleton-Grounded Latent Action Model for Robot World Models
Robot world models simulate how environments evolve in response to robot actions.Point-Level Refinable Semantic Mapping for Spatial Understanding
Open-vocabulary 3D semantic maps have emerged as a key spatial memory representation for long-horizon robot autonomy, enabling robots to reason about objects, their spatial relationships, and past…SCOPE: Scene-graph Construction Optimized by Plan Error-correction for Robot Long-term Planning Datasets
Task and Motion Planning (TAMP) stands as a fundamental challenge in robotics, essential for enabling autonomous agents to execute complex, long-horizon tasks in diverse environments.Dispersive Tree Agreements for Multi-Robot Coordination
Multi-robot coordination of nonlinear systems is naturally formulated as joint-space optimal control subject to constraints over groups of robots.Decentralized Bi-Level Optimization for Cooperative Orbital Transportation of a Rigid Payload
The rapid growth of the space economy, alongside increasing orbital congestion and debris, is driving demand for reliable on-orbit transportation of large and non-cooperative objects.Geometry-Dependent Properties of Physically Crosslinked PPy-PVA Hydrogels Enable Tunable Iontophoretic Drug Delivery
Iontophoretic drug delivery has primarily relied on current modulation to regulate drug transport.Echo: Coupled Action and Task Status Signal Denoising for Vision Language Action Models
Recognizing task completion and failure enables robots to stop upon success and initiate recovery or replanning after failure.Humanoid Mobility via Attention-based Contacts
Humanoid mobility over complex terrain requires accurate foot placement and coordinated whole-body motion capable of robust adaptation.Progress Probes $P^2$: Lightweight Runtime Monitoring for Vision-Language-Action Models
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models can perform diverse manipulation tasks directly from visual observations and natural language instructions, but they remain prone to mistakes and unpredictable…DiffDreamer: Coupling World Models with Differentiable Simulation for Agile Quadrotor Control
Tasks such as quadrotor dynamic-gate racing require agents to anticipate external motion while maintaining precise high-frequency control.Extending Harmonic Function Methods via Root Locus for Coordinated Path Generation
We consider the offline generation of coordinated paths for N interchangeable robots and N goals in planar environments with polygonal obstacles.
