Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models offer a promising paradigm for general-purpose household robotics. However, inference and data-collection strategies that have been deployed in smaller-scale…
Robots, autonomous vehicles, and consumer 360° cameras use fisheye lenses for wide fields of view (FoVs). Simulation-ready digital twins require photorealistic rendering across the full FoV and an…
The short-time Fourier transform (STFT) characterizes the local frequency content of time-varying signals by evaluating the discrete Fourier transform over a sliding analysis window. The STFT is…
Dexterous manipulation with multi-fingered hands is the next frontier of robotics, yet learned hand skills remain limited to simple grasps or basic repeated motions, such as rotating an object. As…
Agile robots require spatiotemporal intelligence to interpret scenes, reason about interactions, and anticipate future events. Yet it remains unclear how well foundation vision models support these…
Traffic forecasting requires modeling complex temporal dynamics and the spatial dependencies imposed by road topology. Supervised graph-based models achieve strong performance, but are often trained…
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…
Multi-robot control requires integrating distributed camera views while predicting separate action sequences. Most vision-language-action and world-action models target one robot.
As egocentric video becomes increasingly available for embodied learning, an important research question is how to turn this low-cost, scalable source of data into robot manipulation capabilities.…
Quickest detection problems (QDPs) arise in a wide range of applications. However, the complementarity structure of the associated variational inequalities poses substantial challenges for…
An input skip can reduce reconstruction error while leaving a model's distribution of new samples unchanged. For a Gaussian variational autoencoder (VAE) with constant input skip $0\leqα<1$, a model…
Density estimation with generative models is a common task in the physical sciences, for example in background estimation in particle physics. Existing machine learning techniques, however, lack…
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models integrate high-level reasoning with low-level action execution for end-to-end robotic control. However, most VLA models target static manipulation in unconstrained…
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…
Vision-language-action (VLA) models provide a promising paradigm for scalable robotic manipulation, yet their reliance on success-only behavioral cloning leaves them brittle; lacking corrective…
Proprietary language models and their reasoning traces are vulnerable to API-based distillation, where an adversary trains a student model on the teacher model's outputs. To obtain evidence of…
Detecting harmful content in Arabic is challenging because of dialectal variations and the semantic overlap between different harm categories. This paper presents a two-stage approach for classifying…
Large language models are widely used as judges of model outputs (LLM-as-a-Judge), but they are costly and can hallucinate or be overconfident. Decision models are a potential alternative.
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.…
Scientific reasoning in specialized engineering fields depends on knowledge scattered across the literature, often proprietary and absent from frontier LLM training data. In such domains, frontier…
Relay and reseller APIs have become a common way to access large language models (LLMs), yet users cannot directly verify whether they receive the models they request and pay for. This opacity…
