The proliferation of capable and efficient machine learning (ML) models marks one of the strongest methodological shifts in signal processing (SP) in its nearly 100-year history. ML models support the…
Existing learning-based occupancy prediction methods rely on large-scale 3D annotations and generalize poorly across environments. We present FreeOcc, a training-free framework for open-vocabulary occ…
This paper considers the robust control of a catenary robot composed of two quadrotors connected by an inextensible cable. The system is modeled on \(SE(3)\), with the cable treated as a geometric sub…
This paper presents a planning pipeline framework for locomotion in rope-assisted robots climbing vertical surfaces. The proposed framework is formulated as a bi-level optimization scheme that address…
We propose X-WAM, a Unified 4D World Model that unifies real-time robotic action execution and high-fidelity 4D world synthesis (video + 3D reconstruction) in a single framework, addressing the critic…
Navigating quadruped robots in unstructured 3D environments poses significant challenges, requiring goal-directed motion, effective exploration to escape from local minima, and posture adaptation to t…
In this paper, we introduce GET-2D-1.0, a fast grasp planner for the GET asymmetrical gripper that operates from a single-view RGB-D image, using the Ferrari-Canny metric and a novel sampling strategy…
Tendon-Driven Continuum Robots (TDCRs) pose significant control challenges due to their highly nonlinear, path-dependent dynamics and non-Markovian characteristics. Traditional Jacobian-based controll…
Tendon-Driven Continuum Robots (TDCRs) pose significant modeling and control challenges due to complex nonlinearities, such as frictional hysteresis and transmission compliance. This paper proposes a …
Graph-based representations such as Scene Graphs enable localization in structured indoor environments by matching a locally observed graph, constructed from sensor data, to a prior map. This process …
Doorways and passages are critical structural elements for indoor robot navigation, yet they remain underexplored in modern Visual SLAM (VSLAM) frameworks. This paper presents a passage-aware structur…
This paper presents a unified control framework for robust trajectory tracking and moving obstacle avoidance applicable to a broad class of mobile robots. By formulating a generalized kinematic transf…
The sense of family connectedness may support positive outcomes including individual well-being, resilience, and healthy family functioning. However, as technologies advance, they often replace human-…
Wheeled-legged robots combine the energy efficiency of wheeled locomotion with the terrain adaptability of legged systems, making them promising platforms for agile mobility in complex and dynamic env…
Monitoring human activity in indoor environments is important for applications such as facility management, safety assessment, and space utilization analysis. While mobile robot teams offer the potent…
Directional Selective Fixed-Filter Active Noise Control (D-SFANC) can effectively attenuate noise from different directions by selecting the suitable pre-trained control filter based on the Direction-…
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…
In spite of the utility of 3-D electron back-scattered diffraction (EBSD) microscopy, the data collection process can be time-consuming with serial-sectioning. Hence, it is natural to look at other mo…
Autonomous robots operating in open environments need the ability to continuously handle tasks that are not covered by predefined local methods. However, existing approaches often rely on repeated lar…
Sub-gram flapping-wing flying insect robots (FIRs) are challenging to model because of mechanical complexity in their wings, unsteady aerodynamic flow, and the difficulty of making precise measurement…
