Embodied AI research is undergoing a shift toward vision-centric perceptual paradigms. While massively parallel simulators have catalyzed breakthroughs in proprioception-based locomotion, their potent…
Simulation frameworks such as Isaac Sim have enabled scalable robot learning for locomotion and rigid-body manipulation; however, contact-rich simulation remains a major bottleneck for deformable obje…
Manipulation policies deployed in uncontrolled real-world scenarios are faced with great in-category geometric diversity of everyday objects. In order to function robustly under such variations, polic…
Porous media containing cracks, fractures, or internal discontinuities arise throughout subsurface geomechanics, biomechanics, and materials science. Numerical simulation of the coupled hydromechanica…
Time-frequency representations, such as the short-time Fourier transform (STFT), are fundamental tools for analyzing non-stationary signals. However, their ability to achieve sharp localization in bot…
Robots deployed in unstructured environments must coordinate whole-body motion -- simultaneously moving a mobile base and arm -- to interact with the physical world. This coupled mobility and dexterit…
Optical microrobots actuated by optical tweezers (OT) are important for cell manipulation and microscale assembly, but their autonomous operation depends on accurate 3D perception. Developing such per…
Recent advances in robot foundation models trained on large-scale human teleoperation data have enabled robots to perform increasingly complex real-world tasks. However, scaling these systems remains …
Instant delivery, shipping items before critical deadlines, is essential in daily life. While multiple delivery agents, such as couriers, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), and crowdsourced agents, have…
Building generalist robots capable of performing functional grasping in everyday, open-world environments remains a significant challenge due to the vast diversity of objects and tasks. Existing metho…
Sleep staging is essential for the assessment of sleep quality and the diagnosis of sleep-related disorders. Conventional polysomnography (PSG), while considered the gold standard, is intrusive, labor…
Braking system, the key module to ensure the safety and steer-ability of current vehicles, relies on extensive manual calibration during production. Reducing labor and time consumption while maintaini…
High-Resolution three-dimensional (3D) radio maps (RMs) provide rich information about the radio landscape that is essential to a myriad of wireless applications in the future wireless networks. Altho…
This paper extends the Acemoglu-Restrepo task exposure framework to address the labor market effects of agentic artificial intelligence systems: autonomous AI agents capable of completing entire occup…
As the amount of used home appliances is expected to increase despite the decreasing labor force in Japan, there is a need to automate disassembling processes at recycling plants. The automation of di…
Measuring sediment transport in riverbeds has long been a challenging research problem in geomorphology and river engineering. Traditional approaches rely on direct measurements using sediment sampler…
Buffer zones are essential in production systems to decouple sequential processes. In dense floor storage environments, such as space-constrained brownfield facilities, manual operation is increasingl…
Agriculture remains a cornerstone of global health and economic sustainability, yet labor-intensive tasks such as harvesting high-value crops continue to face growing workforce shortages. Robotic harv…
Large-scale orchard production requires timely and precise disease monitoring, yet routine manual scouting is labor-intensive and financially impractical at the scale of modern operations. As a result…
Mosquito-borne diseases affect more than one billion people each year and cause close to one million deaths. Traditional surveillance methods rely on traps and manual identification that are slow, lab…
