The neighborhood topology of particle swarm optimization (PSO) determines information propagation and regulates the exploration-exploitation balance. However, existing evaluation methods based on…
We present OpenTac, a novel sensor and a full-stack ecosystem for tactile skins that are highly customizable, scalable, and readily deployed in downstream robot control and learning applications. Our…
Video diffusion models have learned rich 3D/4D priors, making them promising for scene generation and video re-rendering. However, their use in spatial tasks is limited by imprecise camera control,…
Tactile sensing provides robots with contact information difficult to obtain from vision alone. Shear force is particularly important for understanding tangential contact, guiding corrective motions,…
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. While the detailed measurements…
Vision and touch provide complementary cues for object pose and local contact geometry, but external cameras are often occluded at the contact site. We present GelSlim 5.0, a fingertip sensor that…
Tilt-rotor quadcopters redirect thrust for translation without banking, but complicate modeling, state estimation, and disturbance rejection. This paper presents a simulation-based flight stack for a…
Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated strong potential to automate heuristic design for NP-hard combinatorial optimization (CO) tasks without human intervention. Recent methods predominantly…
Large language models (LLMs) have shown strong potential for cybersecurity, leading to growing interest in LLM-based automated cybersecurity log analysis. However, current datasets (1) are limited in…
Large Language Models (LLMs) can generate UML class diagrams from natural language requirements, but hallucinations may compromise the correctness and completeness of the resulting diagrams. Existing…
Many problems in signal processing, machine learning, and neuroimaging provide several jointly observed measurements of one process, each mixing a component common to all of them with a component…
This paper presents a novel framework integrating a robust wrench observer with a hybrid pose and force controller for physical Human-Robot Interaction (pHRI). In pHRI tasks, robots are expected to…
Most high-performing end-to-end autonomous driving agents (ADAs) are developed for the CARLA Leaderboard, tightly coupling them to CARLA's APIs, sensor layouts, coordinate systems, and internal…
Safe autonomous navigation of UASs requires tactical deconfliction to address conflicts that strategic coordination cannot prevent. This task is challenging under partial observability, when sensor…
The investment acceleration principle is a heuristic for modelling investment time series out of consumption time series. The model presented herein develops a disaggregated accelerator equation…
Sensor networks and radars can deliver signals as organized sets, e.g. ordered signals, signals describing range cells within a grid or signals perceived as graph nodes.
Probabilistic meshless methods solve partial differential equations (PDEs) by placing a Gaussian process prior on the solution and conditioning it on the PDE at a finite set of collocation nodes. The…
Deep-learning-based inverse design has emerged as a promising framework for pixelated patch antenna synthesis by enabling broader exploration of discrete geometry spaces and reducing design time…
Introspection, the ability of a system to access and reason about its internal signals, is crucial for language model (LM) self-consistency and scalable interpretability. Prior work argues that LMs…
Embodied instruction following in interactive environments requires agents to interpret natural language commands and complete long-horizon tasks. Existing planners either rely on large labeled…
Accelerated dynamics methods, such as parallel replica dynamics, require estimates of the decorrelation time, after which a process trapped in one of its metastable states is distributed according to…
Memory is increasingly used in long-horizon agents, yet the net value of building memory over direct retrieval from raw history remains largely unclear. Through a large-scale evaluation across…
Reliable traversability estimation is essential for autonomous navigation on unstructured terrain. State-of-the-art approaches typically evaluate traversability from deterministic terrain elevation,…
Training state-of-the-art models increasingly requires learning from large, heterogeneous datasets whose examples vary in quality, domain relevance, and source of supervision.…
