Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have increasingly incorporated reasoning mechanisms for complex robotic manipulation. However, existing approaches share a critical limitation: whether employing ex…
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…
Proprietary design in commercial windrow-detection systems restricts transparency and limits progress in open autonomous forage-harvesting research. We present a multi-modal dataset combining stereo v…
Kalman filter-based algorithms are fundamental for mobile robots, as they provide a computationally efficient solution to the challenging problem of state estimation. However, they rely on two main as…
Rapid urbanization and continuous population growth have made municipal solid waste management increasingly challenging. These challenges highlight the need for smarter and automated waste management …
AI-enhanced interference rejection in radio frequency (RF) transmissions has recently attracted interest because deep learning approaches trained on both the signal of interest (SOI) and the signal mi…
Specular glare on reflective floors and glass surfaces frequently corrupts RGB-D depth measurements, producing holes and spikes that accumulate as persistent phantom obstacles in occupancy-grid costma…
Ensuring safe physical interaction between torque-controlled manipulators and humans is essential for deploying robots in everyday environments. Model Predictive Control (MPC) has emerged as a suitabl…
Prediction markets are starting to look less like crowd polls and more like electronic markets. The central question is therefore no longer only whether these markets forecast well, but what happens w…
Integrating pretrained speech encoders with large language models (LLMs) is promising for ASR, but performance and data efficiency depend on the speech-language interface. A common choice is a learned…
Autonomous vehicles deployed in remote environments typically rely on embedded processors, compact batteries, and lightweight sensors. These hardware limitations conflict with the need to derive robus…
We present KITE, a training-free, keyframe-anchored, layout-grounded front-end that converts long robot-execution videos into compact, interpretable tokenized evidence for vision-language models (VLMs…
We aim to make learned point cloud compression deployable for low-latency streaming on mobile systems. While learned point cloud compression has shown strong coding efficiency, practical deployment on…
We present a learning-enhanced motion planner for differential drive mobile manipulators to improve efficiency, success rate, and optimality. For task representation encoder, we propose a keypoint seq…
Orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) modulation offers superior robustness to high-mobility channels compared to conventional orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) waveforms. However, it…
Robust person tracking is a critical capability for autonomous mobile robots operating in diverse and unpredictable environments. While RGB-D tracking has shown high precision, its performance severel…
We present a receiver-side framework for identifying amplitude distortions in frequency-selective OFDM channels. The core novelty is the use of the DCT Neuron, a compact adaptive processor based on th…
Recent advances in large AI models (VLMs and LLMs) and joint use of the 3D dense maps, enable mobile robots to provide more powerful and interactive services grounded in rich spatial context. However,…
We present a bootstrap perception system for indoor robot navigation under hardware depth failure. In our corridor data, the time-of-flight camera loses up to 78% of its depth pixels on reflective sur…
Panoramic multi-object tracking is important for industrial safety monitoring, wide-area robotic perception, and infrastructure-light deployment in large workspaces. In these settings, the sensing sys…
