Human-robot collaboration has been studied primarily in dyadic or sequential settings. However, real homes require multiadic collaboration, where multiple humans and robots share a workspace, acting c…
We introduce LRS-VoxMM, an in-the-wild benchmark for audio-visual speech recognition (AVSR). The benchmark is derived from VoxMM, a dataset of diverse real-world spoken conversations with human-annota…
Humanoid control systems have made significant progress in recent years, yet modeling fluent interaction-rich behavior between a robot, its surrounding environment, and task-relevant objects remains a…
A critical bottleneck hindering further advancement in embodied AI and robotics is the challenge of scaling robot data. To address this, the field of learning robot manipulation skills from human vide…
Understanding human actions is critical for advancing behavior analysis in human-robot interaction. Particularly in tasks that demand quick and proactive feedback, robots must recognize human actions …
Quadrupedal loco-manipulation is commonly built on visual perception and proprioception. Yet reliable contact-rich manipulation remains difficult: vision and proprioception alone cannot resolve uncert…
Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) systems represent a safety-critical national interest, with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS No…
Assisting humans in open-world outdoor environments requires robots to translate high-level natural-language intentions into safe, long-horizon, and socially compliant navigation behavior. Existing ma…
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…
As with every emerging technology, new tools in the hands of artists reshape the nature of artwork creation. Current frameworks for robotics in arts deploy the robot as an autonomous creator or a coll…
Objective metrics for emotional expressiveness are vital for speech generation, particularly in expressive synthesis and voice conversion requiring emotional prosody transfer. To quantify this, the fi…
Current robots are capable of computing plans to accomplish complex tasks. However, real-world environments are inherently open and dynamic, and unforeseen situations frequently arise during plan exec…
Recent advancements in large audio language models have extended Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning into the auditory domain, enabling models to tackle increasingly complex acoustic and spoken tasks. To…
Real-time immersive video communications, particularly high-fidelity 3D telepresence, necessitates a synergistic balance between instantaneous dynamic scene reconstruction and high-efficiency data tra…
Vehicle platooning has attracted increasing attention as a promising approach to improve traffic efficiency, energy consumption, and roadway safety through coordinated multi-vehicle operation. A key c…
Robotic fruit harvesting often fails to reliably detect whether a fruit has been successfully picked, limiting efficiency and increasing crop damage. This problem is difficult due to compliant fruit a…
Human videos contain rich manipulation priors, but using them for robot learning remains difficult because raw observations entangle scene understanding, human motion, and embodiment-specific action. …
Climate change and resource depletion demand a shift from the dominant linear "take-make-use-dispose" paradigm of construction toward circular, low-waste practices. Material reuse offers a promising p…
Reverse parking maneuvering of a vehicle with trailer system is a difficult task to complete for human drivers due to the multi-body nature of the system and the unintuitive controls required to orien…
Automated vehicles (AVs) are commonly programmed to yield unconditionally to pedestrians in the interest of safety. However, this design choice can give rise to the Freezing Robot Problem in which ped…
