Learned driving agents often degrade when deployed in unseen environments. This paper studies a deliberately bounded instance of that problem in the CARLA simulator: zero-shot transfer of a closed-loo…
We propose VISION-SLS, a method for nonlinear output-feedback control from high-resolution RGB images which provides robust constraint satisfaction guarantees under calibrated uncertainty bounds despi…
Accurately characterizing wind power uncertainty under icing and post-disaster conditions remains a critical challenge for resilient power system operation. To address this issue, this paper proposes …
In high-conflict mixed-traffic scenarios involving human-driven and autonomous vehicles, most existing autonomous driving systems default to overly conservative behaviors, lack proactive interaction, …
Humanoid robots operating in unstructured environments must recover from unexpected disturbances-a capability that remains challenging for end-to-end control policies. We present RECOVERFORMER, a full…
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…
The abundance of process operating data in modern industries, along with the rapid advancement of learning techniques, has led to a paradigm shift towards data-centric analysis and control. However, i…
Marine ecosystem degradation necessitates continuous, scientifically selective underwater monitoring. However, most autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) operate as passive data loggers, capturing exh…
Evaluating the emotional intelligence (EI) of audio language models (ALMs) is critical. However, existing benchmarks mostly rely on synthesized speech, are limited to single-turn interactions, and dep…
Pretrained video generation models provide strong priors for robot control, but existing unified world action models still struggle to decode reliable actions without substantial robot-specific traini…
While the ASAM OpenSCENARIO 2.1 Domain-Specific Language (DSL) enables declarative, intent-driven authoring for Scenario-Based Testing (SBT), its integration into open-source simulators like CARLA rem…
As robots increasingly operate in shared, safety critical environments, acting safely is no longer sufficient robots must also make their safety decisions intelligible to human collaborators. In human…
The recent extension of permutation entropy and its derivatives to graph signals has opened up new horizons for the analysis of complex, high-dimensional systems evolving on networks. However, these m…
This work develops a duality theory for partially observed linear Gaussian models in discrete time. The state process evolves according to a causal but non-Markovian (or higher-order Gauss-Markov) str…
Robots operating in shared workspaces must maintain safe coordination with other agents whose behavior may change during task execution. When a collaborating agent switches strategy mid-episode, conti…
Scaling Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models by upgrading the vision encoder is expected to improve downstream manipulation performance--as it does in vision-language modeling. We show that this expect…
Estimating physical properties is critical for safe and efficient autonomous robotic manipulation, particularly during contact-rich interactions. In such settings, vision and tactile sensing provide c…
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models for autonomous driving must integrate diverse textual inputs, including navigation commands, hazard warnings, and traffic state descriptions, yet current systems of…
We study the problem of identifying an optimal coupling between input-output distributional data generated by a causal dynamical system. The coupling is required to satisfy prescribed marginal distrib…
This paper presents the SoftHand Model-W: a 3D-printed, underactuated, anthropomorphic robot hand based on the Pisa/IIT SoftHand, with an integrated antagonistic tendon mechanism and 2 degree-of-freed…
