AffectiveVLA: Safe and Intent-Aware VLA Control for Human-Humanoid Social Interaction
Nikita Kuzmin, Georgii Demianchuk, Mariya Lezina +4
Social touch interactions, such as handshakes, fist bumps, and hugs, require humanoid robots to infer human intent, generate contact-rich motions, and maintain safe physical contac…
FlockDiffusion: Assignment-Conditioned Diffusion for Multi-Drone Task Allocation and Completion
Iana Zhura, Satenik Akopyan, Roohan Ahmed Khan +3
Autonomous multi-drone navigation requires fleets to service distributed objectives in cluttered environments under tight computational budgets. Efficient coordination depends on t…
AcousticDiffusion: Semantically Conditioned Audio-Guided Diffusion Policy for Search-and-Rescue Assistance
Iana Zhura, Didar Seyidov, Dmitrii Plotnikov +3
Navigating toward human callers is an important capability for rescue robots operating where visual contact is degraded or occluded. We present AcousticDiffusion, a semantically co…
ZeroTouch: Tactile-Supervised Visual Contact Estimation for Contact-Rich Manipulation
Dmitriy Kosenkov, Daniia Zinniatullina, Miguel Altamirano Cabrera +3
Reliable robotic grasping benefits from estimating the evolving physical interaction and selecting a grasp-dependent compression target. Tactile sensors provide direct interaction…
SmellDiffusion: Diffusion-Based Quadruped Navigation with Olfactory Scene Graphs
Faith Ogunwoye, Iana Zhura, Hajira Amjad +5
A robot sent to a named gas leak must preserve gas identity, estimate the source, and navigate to the resulting goal. We present SmellDiffusion, a simulation pipeline that represen…
GeminiPainter's sequence-formed pipeline comprised of perception, cognition, planning, and action stages
Miguel Altamirano Cabrera, Aleksey Fedoseev, Iana Zhura +1
We present an autonomous robotic portrait-generation system combining real-time face detection, AI-based sketch generation, and robotic drawing. The system captures video frames, e…
Guided Diffusion with Distilled Vision-Language Reliability for Aerial Navigation
Ivan Valuev, Iana Zhura, Valerii Serpiva +2
Autonomous UAV navigation is conventionally solved by pipelines that separate perception, mapping, and planning into distinct stages, which propagates errors, accumulates latency,…
CloudDiffusion: Diffusion-Based Scene Completion in the Point Cloud Domain
Chidera Agbasiere, Mikhail Sannikov, Faith Ogunwoye +5
Reconstructing dense 3D scenes from sparse LiDAR point clouds (LiDAR scene completion) is a fundamental challenge in autonomous driving, where diffusion models offer a promising so…
DiffusionAnything: End-to-End In-context Diffusion Learning for Unified Navigation and Pre-Grasp Motion
Iana Zhura, Yara Mahmoud, Jeffrin Sam +4
Efficiently predicting motion plans directly from vision remains a fundamental challenge in robotics, where planning typically requires explicit goal specification and task-specifi…
DreamToNav: Generalizable Navigation for Robots via Generative Video Planning
Valerii Serpiva, Jeffrin Sam, Chidera Simon +4
We present DreamToNav, a novel autonomous robot framework that uses generative video models to enable intuitive, human-in-the-loop control. Instead of relying on rigid waypoint nav…
HumanDiffusion: A Vision-Based Diffusion Trajectory Planner with Human-Conditioned Goals for Search and Rescue UAV
Faryal Batool, Iana Zhura, Valerii Serpiva +4
Reliable human--robot collaboration in emergency scenarios requires autonomous systems that can detect humans, infer navigation goals, and operate safely in dynamic environments. T…
