Origami-inspired robotic grippers have shown promising potential for object manipulation tasks due to their compact volume and mechanical flexibility. However, robust capture of objects with random sh…
Visual data compression is shifting from human-centered reconstruction to machine-oriented representation coding. In this setting, an image is often mapped to a compact semantic embedding, which is th…
Conventional neural speech codecs suffer from severe intelligibility degradation at ultra-low bitrates, where the bottleneck transitions from acoustic distortion to semantic loss. To address this issu…
Preserving a speaker's voice identity while generating speech in a different language remains a fundamental challenge in spoken language technology, particularly in specialized domains such as scienti…
In this paper, a broadband 1-bit coding metasurface-based reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) is presented. The unit cell of the metasurface consists of a wide dipole modified with interdigital c…
Real-time immersive video communications, particularly high-fidelity 3D telepresence, necessitates a synergistic balance between instantaneous dynamic scene reconstruction and high-efficiency data tra…
Proprietary design in commercial windrow-detection systems restricts transparency and limits progress in open autonomous forage-harvesting research. We present a multi-modal dataset combining stereo v…
Autonomous driving systems often infer pedestrian yielding behavior from geometric and kinematic cues alone, limiting their ability to reason about visual scene context and age-dependent behavioral va…
The real-world deployment of Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models remains limited by the risk of unpredictable and irreversible physical harm. However, we currently lack effective mechanisms to proacti…
Depthwise separable convolutional (DSConv) layers have been successfully applied to deep learning (DL)-based joint source-channel coding (JSCC) schemes to reduce computational complexity. However, a s…
Wavefront engineering for applications in near-field wireless connectivity is gradually becoming common ground. In this landscape, beams that propagate on bent paths are ideal candidates for dynamic b…
The numerical performance of the material point method (MPM) is strongly governed by the particle-grid kernel, which controls the trade-off among smoothness, locality, numerical diffusion, contact acc…
This paper presents a framework for safe navigation of a unicycle point robot to a goal position in an environment populated with obstacles from almost any admissible state, considering input limits. …
This paper develops a geospatial framework for climate risk stress testing in California with applications to banking and climate-exposed sectors such as agriculture, real estate, and tourism. The stu…
Imitation learning has enabled robots to acquire complex visuomotor manipulation skills from demonstrations, but deployment failures remain a major obstacle, especially for long-horizon action-chunked…
Shell structures are pivotal in the fields of architecture and engineering, due to their aesthetic appeal and structural efficiency. Recently, 3D concrete printing has reignited the interest in these …
Lung cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Conventional computed tomography (CT) imaging, while essential for detection and staging, has limitations in distin…
Vine-inspired robots achieve large workspace coverage through tip eversion, enabling safe navigation in confined and cluttered environments. However, their deployment in free space is fundamentally li…
Continuum robots are well suited for navigating confined and fragile environments, such as vascular or endoluminal anatomy, where contact with surrounding structures is often unavoidable. While contro…
Behavior cloning (BC) policies on position-controlled robots inherit the closed-loop response of the underlying PD controller, yet the effect of controller gains on BC failure lacks a nonasymptotic th…
