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…
Audio systems aim to maximise the listener's perceived quality, traditionally evaluated through mean opinion scoring (MOS), a subjective process that is slow, costly, and collected only after…
World Action Models (WAMs) learn representations for robot control by coupling future visual prediction with action generation. Successful manipulation depends primarily on how the robot 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…
Self-driving laboratories (SDLs) are laboratory systems that couple experimental planning, automated execution, and measurement feedback in a closed loop. Integrating flexible robot control with the…
Flow-based policies for language-conditioned multi-task manipulation commonly share a single $\textit{Gaussian}$ source prior and a common linear transport path across tasks. However, reliably…
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…
Recent work has shown that, in zero-sum games, an optimizer can extract $Ω(\sqrt{T})$ strategic surplus---cumulative payoff above the minimax benchmark---against noiseless no-regret learners with a…
Enabling a humanoid to interact naturally with human partners requires preserving not only individual motions but also the spatial, semantic, and contact relationships underlying the interaction…
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…
A track fitting pipeline is presented that converts a measured racetrack point cloud into a closed, $C^4$ differentiable, three-dimensional surface model suitable for high-fidelity Modelica race-car…
On the simplest non-Euclidean manifold, the 1D flat torus, we exhibit a distribution where a recently proposed extension of Riemannian flow matching is globally optimized by a velocity field that…
Understanding and controlling how systems evolve is central to science and engineering, where many problems require reasoning about complete trajectories. Existing approaches typically learn local…
We build structure-preserving reduced-order models for both challenge problems of the AePW-4 High-Speed Working Group. They are a clamped thin panel at Mach 1.92 (RC-19) and a cantilever plate at…
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…
In this paper, we present a novel one-shot federated clustering approach based on evolving fuzzy clustering and shuffler-based anonymization. In federated clustering, each round reveals additional…
Recent magnetometer-free inertial measurement unit (IMU) methods can reduce drift in joint motion estimation using rigid-body constraints, but they typically require pre-calibrated sensor locations,…
Frontend coding agents are usually graded on one question: did the requested target get built. Real engineering changes carry a second obligation, because the rest of the site has to keep working.
Web agents increasingly serve the same user across repeated online tasks such as booking travel, shopping, and scheduling, so their long-term usefulness depends on how well they know the user's…
Decision support has become sophisticated at exploring uncertainty, but much less so at representing the architecture of the decision itself. As a result, the decision space is often narrowed before…
