Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models are a promising paradigm for generalist robotic manipulation by grounding high-level semantic instructions into executable physical actions. However, prevailing app…
We propose VISION-SLS, a method for nonlinear output-feedback control from high-resolution RGB images which provides robust constraint satisfaction guarantees under calibrated uncertainty bounds despi…
Human videos contain rich manipulation priors, but using them for robot learning remains difficult because raw observations entangle scene understanding, human motion, and embodiment-specific action. …
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models are promising for generalist robot control, but on-robot deployment is bottlenecked by real-time inference under tight cost and energy budgets. Most prior evaluatio…
Vision-Language-Navigation (VLN) models exhibit excellent navigation accuracy but incur high computational overhead. Token caching has emerged as a promising training-free strategy to reduce this cost…
Current Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models predominantly rely on end-to-end fine-tuning. While effective, this paradigm compromises the inherent generalization capabilities of Vision-Language Models …
While Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have been demonstrated possessing strong zero-shot generalization for robot control, their massive parameter sizes typically necessitate cloud-based deploymen…
Autonomous driving systems often infer pedestrian yielding behavior from geometric and kinematic cues alone, limiting their ability to reason about visual scene context and age-dependent behavioral va…
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models are emerging as a unified substrate for embodied intelligence. This shift raises a new class of safety challenges, stemming from the embodied nature of VLA systems,…
Smart glasses are emerging as a promising interface between humans and artificial intelligence (AI) agents, enabling first-person perception, contextual awareness, and real-time assistance. However, c…
We present Move-Then-Operate, a Vision language action framework that explicitly decouples robotic manipulation into two distinct behavioral phases: coarse relocation (move) and contact-critical inter…
Physics-aware symbolic simulation of 3D scenes is critical for robotics, embodied AI, and scientific computing, requiring models to understand natural language descriptions of physical phenomena and t…
Accurately characterizing wind power uncertainty under icing and post-disaster conditions remains a critical challenge for resilient power system operation. To address this issue, this paper proposes …
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, …
This paper investigates the problem of computing the shortest path between two states under resource constraints in environments with resource-replenishment regions. Namely, the length of the path is …
This paper develops a dynamic programming (DP) approach for decentralized stochastic optimal control problems with delayed sharing information patterns, which exhibits the fundamental Properties of cl…
Humans understand and interact with the real world by relying on diverse physical feedback beyond visual perception. Motivated by this, recent approaches attempt to incorporate physical sensory signal…
Have you ever post-trained a generalist vision-language-action (VLA) policy on a small demonstration dataset, only to find that it stops responding to new instructions and is limited to behaviors obse…
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…
Physical human-robot interaction offers the potential to leverage human intelligence and robot physical capabilities to enable a range of exciting applications, e.g., collaborative robots for rehabili…
