Human-robot collaboration has been studied primarily in dyadic or sequential settings. However, real homes require multiadic collaboration, where multiple humans and robots share a workspace, acting c…
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have increasingly incorporated reasoning mechanisms for complex robotic manipulation. However, existing approaches share a critical limitation: whether employing ex…
We present FlexiTac, a low-cost, open-source, and scalable piezoresistive tactile sensing solution designed for robotic end-effectors. FlexiTac is a practical "plug-in" module consisting of (i) thin, …
End-to-end (E2E) autonomous driving presents a promising approach for translating perceptual inputs directly into driving actions. However, prohibitive annotation costs and temporal data quality degra…
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…
The rapid electrification and intelligence of modern transportation systems place stringent demands on the electromagnetic compatibility, reliability, and adaptability of automotive power electronics.…
Range anxiety and long recharging times remain critical barriers to electric vehicle adoption. Dynamic Inductive Charging (DIC) offers a compelling solution by enabling wireless power transfer while d…
Design Structure Matrix (DSM) modularization, the task of partitioning system elements into cohesive modules, is a fundamental combinatorial challenge in engineering design. Traditional methods treat …
Learned driving agents often degrade when deployed in unseen environments. This paper studies a deliberately bounded instance of that problem in the CARLA simulator: zero-shot transfer of a closed-loo…
The verification of bullion coin authenticity is essential for maintaining integrity within the precious metals market; however, the increasing sophistication of counterfeits has rendered traditional …
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models achieve strong semantic generalization but often lack fine-grained modeling of world dynamics. Recent work explores video generation models as a foundation for worl…
We study the design of functional incentive mechanisms for dynamical systems, in which a leader designs a fixed incentive function to motivate a self-interested follower to actuate the system benefici…
Humanoid control systems have made significant progress in recent years, yet modeling fluent interaction-rich behavior between a robot, its surrounding environment, and task-relevant objects remains a…
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…
Policy optimization in high-dimensional continuous control for robotics remains a challenging problem. Predominant methods are inherently local and often require extensive tuning and carefully chosen …
Despite advances in dexterous hand manipulation, robotic hand design is still largely decoupled from task-driven evaluation and control, limiting systematic optimization. Existing robotic hand co-desi…
This paper addresses the stability analysis and state estimation of generalized Persidskii systems subject to time-varying delays and external disturbances. The generalized Persidskii class, which cou…
Understanding human actions is critical for advancing behavior analysis in human-robot interaction. Particularly in tasks that demand quick and proactive feedback, robots must recognize human actions …
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…
Alberto Isidori's framework of geometric nonlinear control, and particularly of feedback linearization, is the inspiration behind PDE backstepping: apply a transfromation of the state to cast the plan…
