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…
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…
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…
Maintaining stable internal representations of continuous variables is fundamental for effective robotic control. Continuous attractor networks provide a biologically inspired mechanism for encoding s…
In this paper we present a novel visual servoing framework to control a robotic manipulator in the configuration space by using purely natural visual features. Our goal is to develop methods that can …
Marine ecosystem degradation necessitates continuous, scientifically selective underwater monitoring. However, most autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) operate as passive data loggers, capturing exh…
In Model Predictive Control (MPC), world models predict the future outcomes of various action proposals, which are then scored to guide the selection of the optimal action. For visuomotor MPC, the sco…
One of the concerns with autonomous vehicles is their ability to communicate their intent to other road users, specially pedestrians, in order to prevent accidents. External Human-Machine Interfaces (…
Multi-modal image registration plays a critical role in precision medicine but faces challenges from non-linear intensity relationships and local optima. While deep learning models enable rapid infere…
Noisy speech separation systems are typically trained on fully-synthetic mixtures, limiting generalization to real-world scenarios. Though training on mixtures of in-domain (thus often noisy) speech i…
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…
Shock waves in high-speed fluid dynamics produce near-discontinuities in the fluid momentum, density, and energy. Most contemporary works use artificial viscosity or limiters as numerical mitigation o…
High-performance piezoelectric resonators are promising energy storage elements for piezoelectric power conversion due to their compact footprint and low loss at frequencies where conventional magneti…
This paper presents a reinforcement learning-based path-following controller for a fixed-wing small uncrewed aircraft system (sUAS) that is robust to certain actuator failures. The controller is condi…
Existing humanoid table tennis systems remain limited by their reliance on external sensing and their inability to achieve agile whole-body coordination for precise task execution. These limitations s…
In this paper, we present a generalized, comprehensive nonlinear mathematical model and conceptual design for the MetaMorpher, a metamorphic Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) designed to bridge the gap be…
Electric vehicles (EVs) in Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) systems act as distributed energy resources that support grid stability. Centralized coordination such as the extended State Space Model (eSSM) enhance…
Sim-to-real transfer of locomotion policies often leads to performance degradation due to the inevitable sim-to-real gap. Naively fine-tuning these policies directly on hardware is problematic, as it …
Well-designed dense reward functions in robot manipulation not only indicate whether a task is completed but also encode progress along the way. Generally, designing dense rewards is challenging and u…
