Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have increasingly incorporated reasoning mechanisms for complex robotic manipulation. However, existing approaches share a critical limitation: whether employing ex…
As autonomous vehicles slowly deploy into urban roads for limited use cases with significant edge case issues, closed facilities like marshaling yards provide a ripe case for combining lower-level veh…
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…
Conventional neural speech codecs suffer from severe intelligibility degradation at ultra-low bitrates, where the bottleneck transitions from acoustic distortion to semantic loss. To address this issu…
Supervised contrastive learning (SupCon) is widely used to shape representations, but has seen limited targeted study for audio deepfake detection. Existing work typically combines contrastive terms w…
Learning methods are increasingly used to synthesize controllers from data, yet existing sample-complexity characterizations for continuous control are sharp only in the fully observed setting. This p…
OpenPodcar2 is a robust, ROS2-interfaced, low-cost, open source hardware and software, autonomous vehicle platform based on an off-the-shelf, hard-canopy, mobility scooter donor vehicle. It is a modif…
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…
Multi-speaker automatic speech recognition (ASR) aims to transcribe conversational speech involving multiple speakers, requiring the model to capture not only what was said, but also who said it and s…
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…
Maintaining instantaneous balance between electricity supply and demand is critical for reliability and grid instability. System operators achieve this through solving the task of Unit Commitment (UC)…
Multi-modal trajectory generation is essential for safe autonomous driving, yet existing diffusion-based planners suffer from high inference latency due to iterative neural function evaluations. This …
While Vision-Language Models (VLMs) enable high-level semantic reasoning for end-to-end autonomous driving, particularly in unstructured environments, existing off-road datasets suffer from language a…
Rotating FMCW radar odometry methods often assume flat ground conditions. While this assumption is sufficient in many scenarios, including urban environments or flat mining setups, the highly dynamic …
Achieving truly fluid interaction with robots with speech interfaces remains a hard problem, and the experience of current Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) remains laboured and frustrating. Some of the b…
As groups of robots increasingly collaborate with humans, understanding how humans perceive them is critical for designing effective human-robot teams. While prior research examined how humans interpr…
Safety filters have been shown to be effective tools to ensure the safety of control systems with unsafe nominal policies. To address scalability challenges in traditional synthesis methods, learning-…
Data detection in large-scale multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems with higher-order quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) remains a challenging problem due to the exponential complexity of t…
This paper presents a framework for safe navigation of a unicycle point robot to a goal position in an environment populated with obstacles from almost any admissible state, considering input limits. …
Near Field Communication (NFC) cards are widely used for identification, but their passive nature often limits the ability to incorporate additional security mechanisms. As a result, anyone holding th…
