Understanding travel demand and behavior, particularly route and mode choices, is critical for effective transportation planning and policy design in multi-modal systems with emerging mobility options…
Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS) are increasingly regarded as a promising solution to address crew shortages, improve navigational safety, and improve operational efficiency in the maritime in…
Post-stroke rehabilitation is often necessary for patients to regain proper walking gait. However, the typical therapy process can be exhausting and physically demanding for therapists, potentially re…
Simultaneous locomotion and manipulation enables robots to interact with their environment beyond the constraints of a fixed base. However, coordinating legged locomotion with arm manipulation, while …
The adoption of fisheye cameras in robotic manipulation, driven by their exceptionally wide Field of View (FoV), is rapidly outpacing a systematic understanding of their downstream effects on policy l…
General-purpose robot reward models are typically trained to predict absolute task progress from expert demonstrations, providing only local, frame-level supervision. While effective for expert demons…
Goal-conditioned reinforcement learning has shown considerable potential in robotic manipulation; however, existing approaches remain limited by their reliance on prioritizing collected experience, re…
Flow-based vision-language-action (VLA) models excel in embodied control but suffer from intractable likelihoods during multi-step sampling, hindering online reinforcement learning. We propose \textbf…
We investigate an integrated sensing and communication (ISAC)-enabled BS for the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) obstacle avoidance task, and propose a goal-oriented semantic communication (GOSC) framew…
Visuomotor navigation policies have shown strong perception-action coupling for embodied agents, yet they often struggle with safe navigation and dynamic obstacle avoidance in complex real-world envir…
Reliable obstacle avoidance in industrial settings demands 3D scene understanding, but widely used 2D LiDAR sensors perceive only a single horizontal slice of the environment, missing critical obstacl…
Newcomer children face barriers in acquiring the host country's language and literacy programs are often constrained by limited staffing, mixed-proficiency cohorts, and short contact time. While Socia…
Visual navigation is a core capability for mobile robots, yet end-to-end learning-based methods often struggle with generalization and safety in unseen, cluttered, or narrow environments. These limita…
Sub-30g nano-sized aerial robots can leverage their agility and form factor to autonomously explore cluttered and narrow environments, like in industrial inspection and search and rescue missions. How…
With the increasing penetration of renewable energy sources, grid-forming (GFM) inverters are becoming essential for voltage and frequency regulation. However, the transient stability of GFM inverter …
The digital twins (DTs) of physical systems and environments enable real-time remote tracking, control, and learning, but require low-latency transmission of updates and sensory data to maintain align…
Continuum robots possess high flexibility and redundancy, making them well suited for safe interaction in complex environments, yet their continuous deformation and nonlinear dynamics pose fundamental…
Shared autonomy blends operator intent with autonomous assistance. In cluttered environments, linear blending can produce unsafe commands even when each source is individually collision-free. Many exi…
In visually ambiguous manipulation such as detecting button click tactile feedback is often the sole source of ground truth. However, fusing tactile data poses a significant challenge due to a spatiot…
Electrically-actuated quadrupedal robots possess high mobility on complex terrains, but their motors tend to accumulate heat under high-torque cyclic loads, potentially triggering overheat protection …
