The safety and resilience of civil infrastructure systems are increasingly threatened by compounded risks from various hazard events and structural deterioration due to environmental stressors. This s…
The declining synchronous inertia in power systems undergoing the energy transition increases the sensitivity of system frequency to generation and interconnector disturbances, making accurate frequen…
Robotic and embodied-AI systems have the potential to improve accessibility and quality of care in clinical settings, but their deployment in close physical contact with vulnerable patients introduces…
The proverb ``see something, say something'' captures a core responsibility of autonomous mobile robots in safety-critical situations: when they detect a hazard, they must communicate--and do so quick…
Guide dogs offer independence to Blind and Low-Vision (BLV) individuals, yet their limited availability leaves the vast majority of BLV users without access. Quadruped robotic guide dogs present a pro…
This report presents a structured Robotics Physical Safety Framework based on explicit asset declaration, systematic vulnerability enumeration, and hazard-driven synthetic data generation. The approac…
The draft IMO MASS Code requires autonomous and remotely supervised maritime vessels to detect departures from their operational design domain, enter a predefined fallback that notifies the operator, …
Recent large-magnitude earthquakes have demonstrated the damaging consequences of soil liquefaction and reinforced the need to understand and plan for liquefaction hazards at a regional scale. In the …
Autonomous robots operating in dynamic environments should identify and report anomalies. Embodying proactive mitigation improves safety and operational continuity. This paper presents a multimodal an…
In current vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication systems, roadside units (RSUs) broadcast brief warning messages that alert nearby vehicles to avoid potential hazards. However, these messages lack…
Trajectory planning is a critical component in ensuring the safety, stability, and efficiency of autonomous vehicles. While existing trajectory planning methods have achieved progress, they often suff…
We address the challenge of multi-robot autonomous hazard mapping in high-risk, failure-prone, communication-denied environments such as post-disaster zones, underground mines, caves, and planetary su…
Robots operating in human-centric or hazardous environments must proactively anticipate and mitigate dangers beyond basic obstacle detection. Traditional navigation systems often depend on static maps…
Modern robot navigation systems encounter difficulties in diverse and complex indoor environments. Traditional approaches rely on multiple modules with small models or rule-based systems and thus lack…
Effective speech representations for spoken language models must balance semantic relevance with acoustic fidelity for high-quality reconstruction. However, existing approaches struggle to achieve bot…
Navigation by scent is a capability in robotic systems that is rising in demand. However, current methods often suffer from ambiguities, particularly when robots misattribute odours to incorrect objec…
The Hillel Yaffe Age Related Macular Degeneration (HYAMD) dataset is a longitudinal collection of 1,560 Digital Fundus Images (DFIs) from 325 patients examined at the Hillel Yaffe Medical Center (Hade…
Magnetic adhesion tracked wall-climbing robots face potential risks of overturning during high-altitude operations, making their stability crucial for ensuring safety. This study presents a dynamic fe…
Gas leaks and arc discharges present significant risks in industrial environments, requiring robust detection systems to ensure safety and operational efficiency. Inspired by human protocols that comb…
Patients with metastatic breast cancer (mBC) undergo continuous medical imaging during treatment, making accurate lesion detection and monitoring over time critical for clinical decisions. Predicting …
