The research focuses on the thermal interface design of the HAKUTO Rover Flight Model (FM) and its evaluation using the final thermal vacuum experiment. Initially, an analytical thermal model was…
This paper studies the problem of aggregation in multiclass classification, generalizing existing results for binary classification. Given a finite dictionary of score functions F={f_1,...,f_M} and a…
Vision-language-action (VLA) policies are commonly deployed with asynchronous inference in real-world settings, where the next action chunk is generated while the robot is still executing the…
Hamilton-Jacobi (HJ) reachability analysis offers formal safety guarantees for control systems, but training accurate neural certificates remains difficult, particularly when unsafe regions are hard…
Recent studies have explored the potential of multimodal large language models for robot control, yet the models' embodied capabilities remain insufficiently characterized across models, tasks, and…
Video generation models are promising foundations for embodied world models, but only if their generated rollouts are physically valid and faithful to task instructions. Multimodal large language…
Full conformal prediction offers finite-sample marginal coverage guarantees under exchangeability, but exact computation can be costly, while its classical guarantees do not directly extend to…
Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs) face significant challenges in roundabout navigation due to dense traffic interactions and unpredictable agent behaviors, necessitating high levels of…
When does experience memory help a closed-loop LLM driving agent? Published gains cannot say, because the two factors we find to matter most, which warmup experiences the pool contains and what any…
3D scene graphs support language-guided navigation by organizing physical entities and their containment and spatial relations into hierarchical maps. Building such structured maps requires a scene…
Healthcare providers lose substantial revenue to systematic payer underpayments and claim denials, yet identifying the recurring, correctable patterns behind them remains largely manual and does not…
In object goal navigation (ObjectNav), an embodied agent must find a target object (e.g., "find a bed") in a previously unseen environment, relying on spatial commonsense such as object…
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models generate robot actions from visual observations and language instructions, but effective manipulation also requires anticipating how the environment will change.…
Agents need reliable ways to validate their outputs, both when completing tasks and when filtering synthetic training data. We study verifier generation: from the instruction and environment…
LLM agents can improve across tasks without updating model parameters by storing experience from their own executions in external memory and reusing it to guide later decisions. A central design…
In joint-embedding predictive architectures (JEPA), an encoder and a predictor are trained together to produce a representation that minimizes the error in predicting the representation of the next…
Coding agents can answer analytical questions over a data lake by discovering, cleaning, and joining the relevant data. However, they discard this work after each question and redo it from scratch…
Modern language models are increasingly asked to handle several tasks within a single prompt. Doing so requires solving each task correctly while integrating the resulting answers into a coherent…
Recent Omni LLMs (OLLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in joint audio-visual reasoning, yet cross-modal hallucinations remain a major challenge. Existing mitigation methods mainly operate…
General-purpose multimodal models, including GPT-6 Astra and Claude Opus 5.5, demonstrate broad capabilities in embodied manipulation. Our analysis indicates that this generality is accompanied by…
Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have made rapid progress on visual reasoning, yet many tasks require evidence that is difficult to obtain through internal reasoning alone: our controlled…
Procedural generation plays a key role in synthetic data creation and game development, offering greater controllability, editability, and diversity than static mesh representations. However,…
The goal of a world model is to capture the dynamics of an environment. This has the great appeal that it allows agents to plan and simulate a course of actions with the help of a world model.
Agent learning is shifting from learning from human data toward learning through interaction with the world. However, scaling such learning directly in real-world computer systems is challenging and…
