Extending single Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) exploration methods to multi-UAV teams can improve coverage speed and robustness, but introduces challenges such as consistent mapping, safe navigation, and deployment strategy. In this work, we present a centralized multi-UAV exploration framework that enables the use of existing single-UAV sampling-based planners in a multi-UAV setting.
Echolocating bats can navigate dark and cluttered spaces using echolocation. Over a decade ago, BatSLAM showed that a robot with a biomimetic binaural sonar can build a topological map of the environment, by recognizing places from the received acoustic signals.
Robot navigation in dynamic, human-centered environments requires socially-compliant decisions grounded in robust scene understanding. Recent Vision-Language Models (VLMs) exhibit promising capabilities such as object recognition, common-sense reasoning, and contextual understanding, capabilities that align with the nuanced requirements of social robot navigation.
We focus on legible robot motion generation in social navigation settings. Legibility in human-robot interaction (HRI) is often described as the property of robot motion that enables an observer to confidently infer the robot's intent.
Marine litter is a growing threat to the underwater ecosystem, driving demand for autonomous survey methods that can locate debris efficiently over large areas. Existing survey methods typically follow predefined paths or operate with a single sensing modality, typically a camera (with image quality suffering in poor-visibility conditions) or sonar (usually noisy and low-resolution).
Vision-Language Navigation (VLN) requires embodied agents to generate actions based on instructions and observations. General-purpose multimodal agents offer a promising basis for this task, but selecting plausible local actions does not ensure that execution remains consistent with the intended route, particularly in long-horizon tasks.
Neural trajectory predictors can reach low prediction error while violating dynamics, actuator limits, or state constraints, especially when controls are unobserved and dynamics are partially specified. We introduce the Markovian Dynamics Enforcer (MaDE), a time-invariant post-hoc operator mapping state-transition proposals onto a learned feasible dynamics manifold, trained on feasible states without ground-truth controls.
Safe social navigation requires a robot to anticipate not only the future consequences of its actions, but also whether a nominal action can actually be executed under surrounding physical and social constraints. We present Social-WM, an efficient latent world-model planning framework trained from egocentric RGB video sequences.
Accurate human motion prediction is crucial for robotic systems operating around people, particularly in complex indoor spaces. In this study, we assess the relative importance of different sources of information in indoor motion prediction with a human motion diffusion model.
Monocular RGB video provides an accessible source of human demonstrations for upper-body robot motion, yet video-driven human-to-robot transfer remains challenging because body and hand motion are recovered at different spatial scales, human and robot kinematics differ substantially, and fine distal motion is difficult to preserve across embodiments. We present a geometry-preserving motion-retargeting framework that integrates unified body--hand reconstruction with morphology-independent geometric transfer.
We present Pow3R-SLAM, a real-time RGB-D simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) system that uses Pow3R for tracking and mapping. Inspired by MASt3R-SLAM, a recent work on monocular SLAM using two-view 3D reconstruction priors, we extend the work to incorporate depth as a prior on the network's prediction, rather than as geometry to fuse.
Constrained Reinforcement Learning has recently gained increasing attention in the field of Safe Autonomous Driving, where the general mechanism is to maximize the expected reward while keeping the overall action risk bounded. In this way, the safety issues arising in AD can be mitigated through constrained actions.
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used as high-level planners in robot navigation, but their outputs may become unreliable when instructions are ambiguous, unsupported by the environment, or semantically inconsistent. This paper presents a Risk-Aware Semantic Grounding framework for trustworthy LLM-based robot planning.
Test-time adaptation for vision-language navigation (TTA-VLN) enables pretrained policies to adapt online to unseen environments using only test-time observations and interaction history. However, distribution shifts can distort local action preferences and lead to off-course decisions.
