Achieving safe navigation in confined dynamic environments remains a challenging problem, as robots must balance navigation efficiency with safety. Existing actor--critic MPC architectures typically…
Kidney exchange programs enable patients with incompatible living donors to receive transplants by exchanging donors with other patient-donor pairs. Existing models typically assume either that each…
Robotic exploration can reduce human exposure to hazardous environments by autonomously searching unknown areas for objects of interest while constructing a complete, risk-aware map. However,…
Aerial Vision-and-Language Navigation (VLN) requires UAVs to locate language-specified goals in large-scale urban environments, where objects often appear small and visually ambiguous from…
Patients often arrive at brief, time-constrained clinical visits unsure of what to expect or ask, and millions of adults now turn to general-purpose AI chatbots to prepare beforehand. Yet whether…
Given that AI agents can search the web broadly and deeply in real time, it is tempting to conclude that their outputs account for recent world events. We show that this conclusion does not hold in…
Computer-use agents increasingly tackle tasks ranging from everyday desktop activities to long-horizon professional workflows. Yet interfaces centered on screenshots and mouse-and-keyboard actions…
Percutaneous needle insertion is a common practice in minimally invasive procedures whose clinical success depends on accurate needle placement. However, achieving the necessary precision is a…
Existing Scene Text Recognition (STR) models are inherently coupled with a specific decoding strategy by their training paradigms, limiting their flexibility in deployment across diverse recognition…
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models enable capable robot behavior, but their large memory footprint limits deployment on resource-constrained robotic platforms. Weight quantization is a natural…
Conditional generation of time-series paths is a central problem in probabilistic modeling, where the goal is to simulate future trajectories that are both realistic and responsive to external…
Online Temporal Action Localization (OnTAL) aims to detect and localize action instances from untrimmed streaming videos in real time. Unlike offline approaches, OnTAL models have no access to future…
In AI for Science scenarios, experimental design and method reproduction require retrieving protocols that satisfy multiple interdependent constraints, yet existing benchmarks lack systematic…
Growing submission volumes have renewed interest in using large language models (LLMs) to support peer review. It remains unclear how such evaluation should be structured, how much the model matters,…
Spatial reasoning in Vision-Language Models (VLMs) has increasingly benefited from tool-integrated pipelines that ground computation in explicit geometry. However, existing systems often compile…
Executing an unfamiliar laboratory protocol requires a robot to identify missing capabilities and determine whether each operation remains valid as the experiment progresses. This letter presents…
Real-world robotic manipulation requires reasoning about cluttered scenes, partially observable or hidden objects, and semantically appropriate actions, in addition to low-level execution within…
We present Queryable Gaussian View Index (QGVI) for querying existing Gaussian scene assets and their associated calibrated reference data. Text-view retrieval and selective RGB camera localization…
Training-free expert pruning makes two decisions: which experts to remove, and what the layer computes when its router still selects a removed expert. Published methods change both at once.
Pre-trained models offer complementary strengths in CT organ segmentation, but their relative accuracy varies across organs and spatial regions. Multi-teacher knowledge distillation can combine these…
In modern information retrieval (IR), documents are increasingly encountered as structured sequences of visually rich, paginated units, rather than as flat text. Example documents encountered in our…
General humanoid motion trackers typically rely on deterministic policies that cannot adapt online without brittle reference editing or costly retraining. We present DiffWBC, shifting whole-body…
Camera--LiDAR perception on mobile robots and intelligent vehicles depends on reliable sensor geometry throughout deployment. Installation variations create uncertainty in the initial extrinsics,…
