Automated Synthesis of Facial Mechanisms for Conversational Animatronic Robots
Zongzheng Zhang, Zi Lin, Jiawen Yang +6
The paper introduces an automated pipeline that creates a manufacturable mechanical facial mechanism for animatronic robots from a single 2D portrait, and simultaneously generates…
RoboCOIN: An Open-Sourced Bimanual Robotic Data Collection for Integrated Manipulation
Shihan Wu, Xuecheng Liu, Shaoxuan Xie +81
Despite the critical role of bimanual manipulation in endowing robots with human-like dexterity, large-scale and diverse datasets remain scarce due to the significant hardware hete…
Delving into Mapping Uncertainty for Mapless Trajectory Prediction
Zongzheng Zhang, Xuchong Qiu, Boran Zhang +11
Recent advances in autonomous driving are moving towards mapless approaches, where High-Definition (HD) maps are generated online directly from sensor data, reducing the need for e…
Reusing Attention for One-stage Lane Topology Understanding
Yang Li, Zongzheng Zhang, Xuchong Qiu +10
Understanding lane toplogy relationships accurately is critical for safe autonomous driving. However, existing two-stage methods suffer from inefficiencies due to error propagation…
Morpheus: A Neural-driven Animatronic Face with Hybrid Actuation and Diverse Emotion Control
Zongzheng Zhang, Jiawen Yang, Ziqiao Peng +6
Previous animatronic faces struggle to express emotions effectively due to hardware and software limitations. On the hardware side, earlier approaches either use rigid-driven mecha…
Impromptu VLA: Open Weights and Open Data for Driving Vision-Language-Action Models
Haohan Chi, Huan-ang Gao, Ziming Liu +12
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models for autonomous driving show promise but falter in unstructured corner case scenarios, largely due to a scarcity of targeted benchmarks. To addre…
