Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have increasingly incorporated reasoning mechanisms for complex robotic manipulation. However, existing approaches share a critical limitation: whether employing ex…
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…
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…
Millimeter-wave (mmWave) communication depends on highly directional beamforming, while fast mobility, blockage, and rapid geometry changes in vehicle-to-everything (V2X) scenarios make beam tracking …
Accurate localization is a fundamental requirement for autonomous robots operating in indoor environments. Scene graphs encode the spatial structure of an environment as a hierarchy of semantic entiti…
In this paper, we propose an enhanced physical layer security approach, named joint secrecy and covert communication (JSACC), which aims to improve the performance of physical layer security (PLS). Th…
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…
We propose a knowledge-driven approach to speech target extraction in the presence of background sound effects already recorded in cinematic audio. The specific knowledge sources studied are manners o…
Simulating optical tactile sensors presents significant challenges due to their high deformability and intricate optical properties. To address these issues and enable a physically accurate simulation…
Quadrupedal loco-manipulation is commonly built on visual perception and proprioception. Yet reliable contact-rich manipulation remains difficult: vision and proprioception alone cannot resolve uncert…
Short-term load forecasting for AI data centers presents new challenges because it is computing-driven, with heterogeneous job arrivals, sizes, and durations exhibiting bursty, non-stationary dynamics…
Assisting humans in open-world outdoor environments requires robots to translate high-level natural-language intentions into safe, long-horizon, and socially compliant navigation behavior. Existing ma…
Deploying a neuro-symbolic task planner on a new domain today requires significant manual effort: a domain expert must author relaxation and complementary rules, and hundreds of training problems must…
Terahertz (THz) communication has emerged as a key enabler for sixth-generation (6G) networks, offering ultrawide bandwidths to support data-intensive applications such as holographic telepresence and…
Objective metrics for emotional expressiveness are vital for speech generation, particularly in expressive synthesis and voice conversion requiring emotional prosody transfer. To quantify this, the fi…
Generative motion prediction must satisfy three simultaneous requirements for real-world autonomy: high accuracy, diverse multimodal futures, and strictly bounded latency. Diffusion models meet the fi…
The time-dependent deformation of concrete, particularly creep, remains a key challenge for reliable and material-efficient design. Experimental results show that tailored preloading, short-term loads…
Reliable estimation of neuromuscular activation is a key enabler for adaptive and personalized control in wearable robotics. However, surface electromyography (EMG) remains difficult to deploy robustl…
The assessment of reactive power demand plays an instrumental role in power system planning. This paper presents a methodology for calculating reactive power demand based on a two-step approach. Unlik…
We introduce asRoBallet, to the best of our knowledge, the first successful deployment of reinforcement learning (RL) on a humanoid ballbot hardware. Historically, ballbots have served as a canonical …
