Connected autonomous vehicles (CAVs), which represent a significant advancement in autonomous driving technology, have the potential to greatly increase traffic safety and efficiency through cooperati…
Ensuring functional safety in human-robot interaction is challenging because AI perception is inherently probabilistic, whereas industrial standards require deterministic behavior. We present an LLM-g…
Robotic autonomy in open-world environments is fundamentally limited by insufficient data diversity and poor cross-embodiment generalization. Existing robotic datasets are often limited in scale and t…
Optical wireless communication (OWC) has emerged as a promising candidate for future high-capacity indoor wireless networks, driven by its large unregulated spectrum, high spatial reuse, and ability t…
Reinforcement learning-based control policies have been frequently demonstrated to be more effective than analytical techniques for many manipulation tasks. Commonly, these methods learn neural contro…
Effective human-robot teaming is crucial for the practical deployment of robots in human workspaces. However, optimizing joint human-robot plans remains a challenge due to the difficulty of modeling i…
Vision-language models (VLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in understanding human-object interactions, but their application to robotic systems with non-humanoid morphologies remains larg…
Unknown payloads can strongly affect compliant robotic manipulation, especially when the payload center of mass is not aligned with the tool center point. In this case, the payload generates an offset…
In recent years, computational power and data availability breakthroughs have revolutionized our ability to analyze complex physical systems through the inverse problem approach. Data-driven technique…
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 …
As groups of robots increasingly collaborate with humans, understanding how humans perceive them is critical for designing effective human-robot teams. While prior research examined how humans interpr…
Learning diverse locomotion skills for humanoid robots in a unified reinforcement learning framework remains challenging due to the conflicting requirements of stability and dynamic expressiveness acr…
Recent advances in large-scale video world models have enabled increasingly realistic future prediction, raising the prospect of leveraging imagined videos for robot learning. However, visual realism …
The electric vehicle (EV) charging demands (CD) are jointly determined by the EV owners' behavior (i.e., human factor) and the electricity prices (i.e., decisions of distribution system operators (DSO…
Visual state-space models (SSMs) are increasingly promoted as efficient alternatives to Vision Transformers, yet their practical advantages remain unclear under fair comparison because existing studie…
Signal Temporal Logic (STL) is a powerful language for specifying temporally structured robotic tasks. Planning executable trajectories under STL constraints remains difficult when system dynamics and…
Human behavior has the nature of mutual dependencies, which requires human-robot interactive systems to predict surrounding agents trajectories by modeling complex social interactions, avoiding collis…
Recent Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models report impressive success rates on standard robotic benchmarks, fueling optimism about general-purpose physical intelligence. However, recent evidence sugges…
This paper addresses the quantitative verification of constrained occupation time in stochastic discrete-time systems, focusing on the probability of visiting a target set at least $k$ times while mai…
Nature suggests that exploiting the elasticities and natural dynamics of robotic systems could increase their locomotion efficiency. Prior work on elastic snake robots supports this hypothesis, but ha…
