Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have increasingly incorporated reasoning mechanisms for complex robotic manipulation. However, existing approaches share a critical limitation: whether employing ex…
This paper introduces a general approximate alternating simulation relation (\emph{$\varepsilon$-gAAS relation}) for continuous-time systems, which relaxes existing simulation relations to tolerate la…
Dense, dynamic crowds pose a persistent challenge for autonomous mobile robots. Purely reactive planning methods, such as Model Predictive Path Integral (MPPI) control, often fail to escape local mini…
The pressure for Water Resource Recovery Facilities (WRRF) operators to efficiently treat wastewater is greater than ever because of the water crisis, produced by the climate change effects and more r…
Robotic systems that interact with the physical world must reason about kinematic and dynamic constraints imposed by their own embodiment, their environment, and the task at hand. We introduce KinDER,…
Unbalanced three-phase systems still lack a compact phasor-domain representation of power that makes phase asymmetry explicit while remaining consistent with established apparent-power definitions. Th…
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 …
End-to-end autonomous driving planners typically generate trajectories from current observations alone. However, real-world driving is highly dynamic, and such reactive planning cannot anticipate futu…
Weak constitutive fluctuations in dispersive subsurface media can induce distributed clutter that reshapes the observation structure of ground-penetrating radar (GPR). This paper analyzes this effect …
Despite transformative advances in generative motion synthesis, real-time interactive motion control remains dominated by traditional techniques. In this work, we identify two key challenges in bridgi…
Accurate estimation of thermospheric mass density is a prerequisite for orbit prediction and space situational awareness, where the upper atmosphere responds nonlinearly to solar and geomagnetic forci…
This study proposes a portfolio optimization framework that integrates advanced deep learning architectures with traditional financial models to enhance risk-adjusted performance. Using historical dat…
Training machine learning models for robotic tactile sensing requires vast amounts of data, yet obtaining realistic interaction data remains a challenge due to physical complexity and variability. Sim…
Family-school partnerships (FSP) are critical to children's development, yet families often face barriers such as time constraints, fragmented communication, and limited opportunities for meaningful e…
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-…
Contact-rich manipulation is central to many everyday human activities, requiring continuous adaptation to contact uncertainty and external disturbances through multi-modal perception, particularly vi…
In high-conflict mixed-traffic scenarios involving human-driven and autonomous vehicles, most existing autonomous driving systems default to overly conservative behaviors, lack proactive interaction, …
Neural networks can be trained to learn task-relevant representations from data. Understanding how these networks make decisions falls within the Explainable AI (XAI) domain. This paper proposes to st…
In this paper we present a radically new approach to design state observers for nonlinear systems, with particular emphasis on physical ones. Our objective is to obtain an algebraic relation between t…
Nonlinear Resonant Ultrasound Spectroscopy (NRUS) experiments that rely on repeated sampling of resonance curves are inherently sensitive to measurement protocol due to evolution of material parameter…
