Embodied AI and robotic systems increasingly depend on scalable, diverse, and physically grounded 3D content for simulation-based training and real-world deployment. While 3D generative modeling has a…
Visual data compression is shifting from human-centered reconstruction to machine-oriented representation coding. In this setting, an image is often mapped to a compact semantic embedding, which is th…
As the penetration of distributed energy resources (DERs) increases, harnessing their flexibility becomes critical for power system operations. Virtual power plants (VPPs) offer a promising solution. …
This paper addresses the problem of traffic congestion management in fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) corridors by further developing a recently introduced loiter-lane framework. A semi-cooper…
Artificial intelligence is increasingly described as a candidate next generation general purpose technology (GPT). However, existing interpretations predominantly emphasize performance scaling rather …
Predicting future trajectories of surrounding traffic agents is critical for safe autonomous navigation and collision avoidance. Despite all advances in the trajectory forecasting realm, the predictio…
Ensuring safety for black-box hybrid dynamical systems presents significant challenges due to their instantaneous state jumps and unknown explicit nonlinear dynamics. Existing solutions for strict saf…
Sub-gram flapping-wing flying insect robots (FIRs) are challenging to model because of mechanical complexity in their wings, unsteady aerodynamic flow, and the difficulty of making precise measurement…
Autonomous fixed-wing flight is becoming a key capability in aerial robotics, enabling sensing, mobility, and contingency operations across both small-scale Uncrewed Aircraft Systems and large-scale A…
Motion planning for autonomous vehicles often requires satisfying multiple conditionally conflicting specifications. In situations where not all specifications can be met simultaneously, minimum-viola…
Aerobat is a bat-inspired flapping-wing robot with a wing gait generate by the computational structure, a planar linkage of carbon fiber links driven by a single motor. This design minimizes weight bu…
We present a trajectory-based optimization framework for arrival sequencing and scheduling in the terminal maneuvering area (TMA). Unlike node-link scheduling models that reduce trajectories to time-d…
Lamarckian inheritance has been shown to be a powerful accelerator in systems where the joint evolution of robot morphologies and controllers is enhanced with individual learning. Its defining advanta…
We consider the energy-optimal control problem for double-integrator systems subject to state and control constraints, with fixed terminal time and free terminal speed. When the constraints become act…
Large, spatially flexible electricity consumers such as data centers can reallocate demand across locations, influencing dispatch and prices in wholesale electricity markets. While flexible load is of…
The online 3D bin packing problem is important in logistics, warehousing and intelligent manufacturing, with solutions shifting to deep reinforcement learning (DRL) which faces challenges like low sam…
This paper presents an online intention prediction framework for estimating the goal state of autonomous systems in real time, even when intention is time-varying, and system dynamics or objectives in…
Robust geo-localization in changing environmental conditions is critical for long-term aerial autonomy. While visual place recognition (VPR) models perform well when airborne views match the training …
Spatial single-loop mechanisms such as Bennett linkages offer a unique combination of one-degree-of-freedom actuation and nontrivial spatial trajectories, making them attractive for lightweight bio-in…
In rotary-wing aircraft, rotating blades are exposed to collisions and subsequent damage. The detection and isolation of blade damage constitute the first step in fault mitigation; however, they are p…
