Generative artificial intelligence offers a new paradigm to design matter in high-dimensional spaces. However, its underlying mechanisms remain difficult to interpret and limit adoption in computation…
We propose a Stein variational distributionally robust controller for nonlinear dynamical systems with latent parametric uncertainty. The method is an alternative to conservative worst-case ambiguity-…
Reliable estimation of surgical needle 3D position and orientation is essential for autonomous robotic suturing, yet existing methods operate almost exclusively under stereoscopic vision. In monocular…
We present a filtering framework for online joint state estimation and parameter identification in nonlinear, time-varying systems. The algorithm uses Rao-Blackwellization technique to infer joint sta…
Surface manipulation tasks require robots to generate trajectories that comprehensively cover complex 3D surfaces while maintaining precise end-effector poses. Existing ergodic trajectory optimization…

Skill effect models for long-horizon manipulation tasks are prone to failures in conditions not covered by training data distributions. Therefore, enabling robots to reason about and learn from failur…
In this paper, we introduce a novel algorithm named JS-gOMP, which enhances the generalized Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (gOMP) algorithm for improved noise robustness in sparse signal processing. The …
Model Predictive Control (MPC) enables reliable trajectory optimization under dynamics constraints, but often depends on accurate dynamics models and carefully hand-designed cost functions. Recent lea…
Recent years have seen a significant interest in using phase field approaches to model hydraulic fracture, so as to optimise a process that is key to industries such as petroleum engineering, mining a…
