Autonomous thermodynamic cycles via robotic mobility and sensing
Thermodynamic cycles are the foundation of energy conversion across natural and engineered systems, transforming heat into useful work.From Solo to Ensemble: A Hierarchical Framework for Composable Multi-Agent Human-Object Interaction
Physics-based human-object interaction has achieved robust single-agent manipulation skills, yet extending them to multi-agent cooperative tasks remains challenging.2DGS-Planner: Rasterization-based Path Planning in 2D Gaussian Splatting Map
Gaussian splatting provides an explicit and efficiently rasterizable scene representation for robot navigation.UltraLight Luma: A Novel Edge-Deployable Perception Network for Crop-Row Segmentation in Agricultural Robotics
Reliable crop-row perception is essential for autonomous agricultural robots, but low-cost deployment is constrained by computation, memory, power, and inference time.PathTime-VLA: Path-Time Decoupling for Factorized Post-Training of Vision-Language-Action Policies
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) policies typically predict actions at fixed time intervals, coupling the route a robot follows with its execution pace.WAND: Learning Robust Navigation under Complex Wind Disturbances and Dense Obstacles for Quadrotors
Robust navigation in cluttered environments remains a fundamental challenge for quadrotors, particularly when strong wind disturbances arise, which perturb vehicle dynamics, limit control authority…Digital Twin for Pre-Deployment Validation of AI-Driven Safety-Critical Industrial Edge Control Loops
Industrial environments are increasingly characterized by the tight interaction among physical processes, communication infrastructures, and intelligent applications.STAG: A Sparse Traversability-Aware Graph Representation from Grid-Based Costmaps for Robotic Navigation
Autonomous rovers navigating large unstructured environments need efficient global planning that accounts for terrain traversability.TACROSS: An Efficient and Low-Cost Scalable Human Touch System Across Heterogeneous Tactile Sensors for Dexterous Robot Learning
Collecting tactile demonstrations on robots is costly and slow, motivating the use of lower-cost human tactile gloves for scalable data collection.Tell Robot What Not to Do: A Negation Understanding Perspective
Instruction following enables robots to perform diverse tasks specified in natural language, making it a fundamental capability for human-robot interaction.Reliability-Aware Future Conditioning for Temporally Robust Robot Manipulation
A generated video of a task the robot is about to perform is useful guidance only if it depicts the phase the robot is actually in.Learning Which Correspondences to Trust: Confidence-Weighted Event-Camera Localization in LiDAR Maps
Localizing an event camera against a pre-built LiDAR map can be cast as dense optical-flow estimation between a rendered depth view and an event image, followed by a Perspective-n-Point (PnP) solver…CAPABLE: Capability-Aware Policy Adaptation via Behavioral Latent Encoding
Vision-language-action (VLA) policies assume the embodiment on which they were trained and can fail when a joint fault changes how commanded actions are physically executed.Predicting Cable Dynamics with Physical Attention Bias
Learned simulators for deformable linear objects (DLOs) such as cables have to predict the motion of cables they were not trained on and stay stable over long rollouts.REACT: Rolling Denoising and Dual Decoupling for Reactive Robot Control with VLA Models
Flow-based vision-language-action (VLA) models generate action chunks for temporally coherent robot motion, but chunked control creates a fundamental closed-loop trade-off: long chunks provide…HWAM: Humanoid World Action Model With Joint State--Action Generation
Humanoid robots are a promising platform for general-purpose manipulation.Traceable World State: A Provenance-Aware State Representation and Deterministic Replay Framework for Robotic Systems
Robotic systems operating over extended tasks must maintain a world state assembled from observations arriving at different times, with varying confidence and potential revisions.SkillWeave: Weaving Heterogeneous Demonstrations into Long-Horizon Manipulation Skills
Dexterous manipulation requires both large-scale task progression and precise contact-rich interaction, making it challenging to collect demonstrations that effectively support both regimes.A Minimal Optical-Flow Representation for Vision-Based Tactile Rotation Classification in Robotic Manipulation Across Gravity Domains
Vision-based tactile sensors provide rich contact information, but processing high-resolution images can be costly for resource-constrained platforms such as space robots.ManiUnit: A Manipulation Skill Dataset and Benchmark for Long-Horizon Tasks
Long-horizon mobile manipulation requires a robot to navigate multi-room environments and execute a sequence of manipulation skills under a single natural language instruction.
