Failure diagnosers for robot manipulation are increasingly vision--language models (VLMs), trained and evaluated on single-arm failures produced by perturbing a successful demonstration. Bimanual…
In smart factory environments, passive entities such as humans and movable obstacles may interfere with autonomous robot operations, posing significant safety risks. Detecting potential conflicts…
Accurate camera-LiDAR calibration is an essential prerequisite for robust multi-modal perception in robotics. Recent target-less methods based on learned pixel-point correspondences achieve high…
World action models (WAMs) predict the visual consequences of the actions they generate, which makes test-time selection a natural way to improve a fixed policy: imagine the futures of candidate…
Reliable real-time 3D object detection based on LiDAR and camera data is critical for safety in autonomous driving, where systems must accurately perceive their surroundings with minimal latency.…
Image-goal navigation (ImageNav) requires an agent to reach a location specified by a goal image in an unknown environment. For drones, this task demands exploration, goal- directed navigation, and…
This study develops an integrated, reproducible design assessment for a four-wheel educational rover intended for the high-school remote-control division of the 2027 NASA Human Exploration Rover…
Sparse event responses produce uneven keypoint errors whose effects on spacecraft pose depend on correspondence geometry and the reliability of successive observations. We present a reliability-aware…
Handheld data-collection interfaces such as the Universal Manipulation Interface (UMI) allow manipulation demonstrations to be gathered in the wild without a robot in the loop, but the quality of the…
As expansion and scalability in underwater oper- ations becomes more important and challenging, autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) become more relevant and the necessity for reliable autonomy more…
Clean-image prediction ($x$-prediction) and noise prediction yield equivalent population-optimal denoisers, yet can perform very differently in finite diffusion networks. For noisy input $Y_t$ with…
We present LatentLieODE, a novel neural ODE method to discover linear Lie symmetries and first integrals of the learned dynamics from timeseries observations such as video inputs. It starts with an…
Learnable Representations (LRs) can fit parametric families of functions to diverse kinds of signals. These emergent neural-native data formats are gathering interest in the scientific community due…
The Unadjusted Langevin Algorithm (ULA) is widely used for high-dimensional Bayesian inference. Classical analyses in Wasserstein-2 distance predict an asymptotic bias and a mixing time that grow…
Semantic segmentation of remote sensing imagery often places class boundaries a few pixels away from where they truly lie, and this position error is concentrated in the thin band measured by…
Digital image transmission typically optimizes source coding, channel coding, and modulation separately, limiting how source representations adapt to channel impairments. We propose SemQAM, a joint…
Radar heart sounds capture cardiac mechanical activity without contact, while echocardiography characterizes ventricular and valvular function. Paired measurements connect these signals to structural…
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…
Humanoid-human interaction requires robots to operate under severe partial observability: during close physical contact, the human partner is occluded, truncated, or outside the robot's field of…
Trajectory tracking for compliant robots is challenging due to nonlinear dynamics and modeling uncertainties, often requiring learning-based methods to avoid explicit parameter identification.…
