This paper presents an expert-guided active-inference-inspired framework for adaptive UAV swarm trajectory planning. The proposed method converts multi-UAV trajectory design from a repeated combinator…
We study the design of functional incentive mechanisms for dynamical systems, in which a leader designs a fixed incentive function to motivate a self-interested follower to actuate the system benefici…
Dense, dynamic crowds pose a persistent challenge for autonomous mobile robots. Purely reactive planning methods, such as Model Predictive Path Integral (MPPI) control, often fail to escape local mini…
Technology mapping is a critical yet challenging stage in logic synthesis. While Large Language Models (LLMs) have been applied to generate optimization scripts, their potential for core algorithm enh…
Deploying a neuro-symbolic task planner on a new domain today requires significant manual effort: a domain expert must author relaxation and complementary rules, and hundreds of training problems must…
In this paper, we introduce GET-2D-1.0, a fast grasp planner for the GET asymmetrical gripper that operates from a single-view RGB-D image, using the Ferrari-Canny metric and a novel sampling strategy…
Contact variability, sensing uncertainty, and external disturbances make grasp execution stochastic. Expected-quality objectives ignore tail outcomes and often select grasps that fail under adverse co…
End-to-end autonomous driving planners typically generate trajectories from current observations alone. However, real-world driving is highly dynamic, and such reactive planning cannot anticipate futu…
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models are a promising paradigm for generalist robotic manipulation by grounding high-level semantic instructions into executable physical actions. However, prevailing app…
Event-based cameras are bio-inspired sensors with pixels that independently and asynchronously respond to brightness changes at microsecond resolution, offering the potential to handle visual tasks in…
Satellites provide seamless coverage and are critical for emergency communications during natural disasters. However, their performance is constrained by limited spectrum and high deployment cost. To …
Active perception is a fundamental problem in autonomous robotics in which the robot must decide where to move and what to sense in order to obtain the most informative observations for accomplishing …
Recent years have seen growing application potential for Lattice-skin Plate Structures in advanced manufacturing fields such as aerospace and automotive engineering. For multiscale performance evaluat…
In this paper we present a radically new approach to design state observers for nonlinear systems, with particular emphasis on physical ones. Our objective is to obtain an algebraic relation between t…
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models promise generalist robot manipulation, but are typically trained and deployed as short-horizon policies that assume the latest observation is sufficient for action …
Recently, end-to-end robotic manipulation models have gained significant attention for their generalizability and scalability. However, they often suffer from limited robustness to camera viewpoint ch…
Multi-modal trajectory generation is essential for safe autonomous driving, yet existing diffusion-based planners suffer from high inference latency due to iterative neural function evaluations. This …
Multi-robot control in cluttered environments is a challenging problem that involves complex physical constraints, including robot-robot collisions, robot-obstacle collisions, and unreachable motions.…
Modern world models are becoming too complex to admit explicit dynamical descriptions. We study safety-critical contextual control, where a Planner must optimize a task objective using only feasibilit…
Many mechanical systems exhibit changes in their kinematic topology altering the mobility. Ideal contact is the best known cause, but also stiction and controlled locking of parts of a mechanism lead …
