REST: Receding Horizon Explorative Steiner Tree for Zero-Shot Object-Goal Navigation
Shuqi Xiao, Maani Ghaffari, Chengzhong Xu +1
The paper introduces REST, a training‑free system that builds an open‑vocabulary 3D map from RGB‑D streams, grows a tree of safe and informative paths, and uses a language model to…
Memory-Native Non-Terrestrial Networks for Embodied Intelligence
Chengyang Li, Yikun Wang, Jiahui He +6
Non-terrestrial networks (NTN) provide ubiquitous connectivity for embodied intelligence (EI), enabling robots in wilderness to leverage cloud resources or report critical informat…
NeuPAN: Direct Point Robot Navigation with End-to-End Model-based Learning
Ruihua Han, Shuai Wang, Shuaijun Wang +8
Navigating a nonholonomic robot in a cluttered, unknown environment requires accurate perception and precise motion control for real-time collision avoidance. This paper presents N…
DPNet: Doppler LiDAR Motion Planning for Highly-Dynamic Environments
Wei Zuo, Zeyi Ren, Chengyang Li +7
Existing motion planning methods often struggle with rapid-motion obstacles due to an insufficient understanding of environmental changes. To address this, we propose integrating m…
Bridging Large-Model Reasoning and Real-Time Control via Agentic Fast-Slow Planning
Jiayi Chen, Shuai Wang, Guangxu Zhu +1
Large foundation models enable powerful reasoning for autonomous systems, but mapping semantic intent to reliable real-time control remains challenging. Existing approaches either…
Direct Contact-Tolerant Motion Planning With Vision Language Models
He Li, Jian Sun, Chengyang Li +4
Navigation in cluttered environments often requires robots to tolerate contact with movable or deformable objects to maintain efficiency. Existing contact-tolerant motion planning…
