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…
We propose a joint sparse sample weighting and parameter estimation (SWAPE) framework that jointly optimizes model parameters and sample weights to train a model while simultaneously assigning an…
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…
Robot swarms coordinate through directed, time-varying local communication links, some of which may be compromised to allow the transmission of arbitrary malicious data. We provide an algorithm that…
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…
Hybrid forecasting systems combining machine learning and numerical weather prediction offer a promising route toward improved forecast skill while preserving physical consistency. In this study, we…
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…
Counterfactual explanation methods have been introduced for unimodal settings, with dedicated frameworks for tabular, timeseries, text, and image data, yet no post-hoc method has been designed for…
Privacy auditing empirically assesses privacy leakage by using membership inference attacks to establish lower bounds on privacy loss. We consider an observational auditing setting in which the…
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…
Neural architecture search (NAS) on a new dataset often affords only tens of short training runs, so what the search knows before its first evaluation decides its efficiency. Yet most NAS methods…
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…
Soil moisture and temperature govern plant-water availability and microbial activity, making them key indicators for evaluating land-restoration efforts on degraded landscapes. However, the physical…
Time series foundation models (TSFMs) use self-supervised pretraining to learn reusable representations for downstream tasks such as multivariate time series classification (MTSC). We examine how…
Sub-hourly dispatch, balancing, and storage control increasingly depend on forecasts that anticipate rapid variability in solar generation. Accurate sky-image-based irradiance forecasting requires a…
Large language models have been reported to encode the harmfulness of a request separately from their decision to refuse it, and latent safety monitors such as Latent Guard build on this report by…
Time series anomaly detection (TSAD) is a foundational problem in data mining, aiming to identify observations that deviate significantly from nominal temporal patterns. Driven by escalating data…
A fundamental paradox plagues the deployment of Machine Learning in cybersecurity: supervised models generalize poorly to novel, Out-of-Distribution (OoD) attacks, whereas unsupervised models often…
Forecasting future human motion requires jointly reasoning about an agent's global trajectory and 3D body pose, which are tightly coupled, particularly in team sports where multiple interacting…
