Control Barrier Functions for Shared Control and Vehicle Safety
James Dallas, John Talbot, Makoto Suminaka +4
This manuscript presents a control barrier function based approach to shared control for preventing a vehicle from entering the part of the state space where it is unrecoverable. T…
BioSpark: Beyond Analogical Inspiration to LLM-augmented Transfer
Hyeonsu Kang, David Chuan-en Lin, Yan-Ying Chen +3
We present BioSpark, a system for analogical innovation designed to act as a creativity partner in reducing the cognitive effort in finding, mapping, and creatively adapting divers…
Inkspire: Supporting Design Exploration with Generative AI through Analogical Sketching
David Chuan-En Lin, Hyeonsu B. Kang, Nikolas Martelaro +3
With recent advancements in the capabilities of Text-to-Image (T2I) AI models, product designers have begun experimenting with them in their work. However, T2I models struggle to i…
DriveStats: a Mobile Platform to Frame Effective Sustainable Driving Displays
Song Mi Lee-Kan, Alexandre Filipowicz, Nayeli Bravo +2
Phone applications to track vehicle information have become more common place, providing insights into fuel consumption, vehicle status, and sustainable driving behaviorsHowever, t…
Save A Tree or 6 kg of CO2? Understanding Effective Carbon Footprint Interventions for Eco-Friendly Vehicular Choices
Vikram Mohanty, Alexandre Filipowicz, Nayeli Bravo +2
From ride-hailing to car rentals, consumers are often presented with eco-friendly options. Beyond highlighting a "green" vehicle and CO2 emissions, CO2 equivalencies have been desi…
On LLM Wizards: Identifying Large Language Models' Behaviors for Wizard of Oz Experiments
Jingchao Fang, Nikos Arechiga, Keiichi Namaoshi +3
The Wizard of Oz (WoZ) method is a widely adopted research approach where a human Wizard ``role-plays'' a not readily available technology and interacts with participants to elicit…
Probing out-of-distribution generalization in machine learning for materials
Kangming Li, Andre Niyongabo Rubungo, Xiangyun Lei +5
Scientific machine learning (ML) endeavors to develop generalizable models with broad applicability. However, the assessment of generalizability is often based on heuristics. Here,…
Lane-Change in Dense Traffic with Model Predictive Control and Neural Networks
Sangjae Bae, David Isele, Alireza Nakhaei +5
This paper presents an online smooth-path lane-change control framework. We focus on dense traffic where inter-vehicle space gaps are narrow, and cooperation with surrounding drive…
TEXterity -- Tactile Extrinsic deXterity: Simultaneous Tactile Estimation and Control for Extrinsic Dexterity
Sangwoon Kim, Antonia Bronars, Parag Patre +1
We introduce a novel approach that combines tactile estimation and control for in-hand object manipulation. By integrating measurements from robot kinematics and an image-based tac…
De novo Design of Polymer Electrolytes with High Conductivity using GPT-based and Diffusion-based Generative Models
Zhenze Yang, Weike Ye, Xiangyun Lei +3
Solid polymer electrolytes hold significant promise as materials for next-generation batteries due to their superior safety performance, enhanced specific energy, and extended life…
The Teenager's Problem: Efficient Garment Decluttering as Probabilistic Set Cover
Aviv Adler, Ayah Ahmad, Yulei Qiu +9
This paper addresses the "Teenager's Problem": efficiently removing scattered garments from a planar surface into a basket. As grasping and transporting individual garments is high…
DPODv2: Dense Correspondence-Based 6 DoF Pose Estimation
Ivan Shugurov, Sergey Zakharov, Slobodan Ilic
We propose a three-stage 6 DoF object detection method called DPODv2 (Dense Pose Object Detector) that relies on dense correspondences. We combine a 2D object detector with a dense…
RAT iLQR: A Risk Auto-Tuning Controller to Optimally Account for Stochastic Model Mismatch
Haruki Nishimura, Negar Mehr, Adrien Gaidon +1
Successful robotic operation in stochastic environments relies on accurate characterization of the underlying probability distributions, yet this is often imperfect due to limited…
Spatiotemporal Relationship Reasoning for Pedestrian Intent Prediction
Bingbin Liu, Ehsan Adeli, Zhangjie Cao +4
Reasoning over visual data is a desirable capability for robotics and vision-based applications. Such reasoning enables forecasting of the next events or actions in videos. In rece…
The Actuation-consistent Wrench Polytope (AWP) and the Feasible Wrench Polytope (FWP)
Romeo Orsolino, Michele Focchi, Carlos Mastalli +3
The motivation of our current research is to devise motion planners for legged locomotion that are able to exploit the robot's actuation capabilities. This means, when possible, to…
