Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have increasingly incorporated reasoning mechanisms for complex robotic manipulation. However, existing approaches share a critical limitation: whether employing ex…
The proliferation of capable and efficient machine learning (ML) models marks one of the strongest methodological shifts in signal processing (SP) in its nearly 100-year history. ML models support the…
We present FlexiTac, a low-cost, open-source, and scalable piezoresistive tactile sensing solution designed for robotic end-effectors. FlexiTac is a practical "plug-in" module consisting of (i) thin, …
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…
End-to-end (E2E) autonomous driving presents a promising approach for translating perceptual inputs directly into driving actions. However, prohibitive annotation costs and temporal data quality degra…
The rapid electrification and intelligence of modern transportation systems place stringent demands on the electromagnetic compatibility, reliability, and adaptability of automotive power electronics.…
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…
Vehicular sensing-based intelligence has made substantial progress in transportation systems, leading to higher levels of safety and sustainability for smart cities and autonomous systems. This paper …
This paper presents an expert-guided active-inference-inspired framework for adaptive UAV swarm trajectory planning. The proposed method converts multi-UAV trajectory design from a repeated combinator…
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…
The verification of bullion coin authenticity is essential for maintaining integrity within the precious metals market; however, the increasing sophistication of counterfeits has rendered traditional …
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models achieve strong semantic generalization but often lack fine-grained modeling of world dynamics. Recent work explores video generation models as a foundation for worl…
This paper proposes a bitwise over-parameterized neural network (ONN) decoder for polar-coded transmission and develops a tractable theoretical performance analysis framework. By modeling each synthes…
Policy optimization in high-dimensional continuous control for robotics remains a challenging problem. Predominant methods are inherently local and often require extensive tuning and carefully chosen …
A critical bottleneck hindering further advancement in embodied AI and robotics is the challenge of scaling robot data. To address this, the field of learning robot manipulation skills from human vide…
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…
The pressure for Water Resource Recovery Facilities (WRRF) operators to efficiently treat wastewater is greater than ever because of the water crisis, produced by the climate change effects and more r…
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…
Hyperspectral image super-resolution is essential for enhancing the spatial fidelity of HSI data, yet existing deep learning methods often struggle with substantial spectral redundancy and the limited…
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…
