BEVLM: Distilling Semantic Knowledge from LLMs into Bird's-Eye View Representations
Thomas Monninger, Shaoyuan Xie, Qi Alfred Chen +1
The integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) into autonomous driving has attracted growing interest for their strong reasoning and semantic understanding abilities, which are es…
AI for Auto-Research: Roadmap & User Guide
Lingdong Kong, Xian Sun, Wei Chow +17
AI-assisted research is crossing a threshold: fully automated systems can now generate research papers for as little as $15, while long-horizon agents can execute experiments, draf…
FlyTrap: Physical Distance-Pulling Attack Towards Camera-based Autonomous Target Tracking Systems
Shaoyuan Xie, Mohamad Habib Fakih, Junchi Lu +6
Autonomous Target Tracking (ATT) systems, especially ATT drones, are widely used in applications such as surveillance, border control, and law enforcement, while also being misused…
The RoboSense Challenge: Sense Anything, Navigate Anywhere, Adapt Across Platforms
Lingdong Kong, Shaoyuan Xie, Zeying Gong +135
Autonomous systems are increasingly deployed in open and dynamic environments -- from city streets to aerial and indoor spaces -- where perception models must remain reliable under…
PaniCar: Securing the Perception of Advanced Driving Assistance Systems Against Emergency Vehicle Lighting
Elad Feldman, Jacob Shams, Dudi Biton +7
The safety of autonomous cars has come under scrutiny in recent years, especially after 16 documented incidents involving Teslas (with autopilot engaged) crashing into parked emerg…
Can We Trust Embodied Agents? Exploring Backdoor Attacks against Embodied LLM-based Decision-Making Systems
Ruochen Jiao, Shaoyuan Xie, Justin Yue +5
Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown significant promise in real-world decision-making tasks for embodied artificial intelligence, especially when fine-tuned to leverage their i…
