Generalizable Skill Learning for Construction Robots with Crowdsourced Natural Language Instructions, Composable Skills Standardization, and Large Language Model
Hongrui Yu, Vineet R. Kamat, Carol C. Menassa
The quasi-repetitive nature of construction work and the resulting lack of generalizability in programming construction robots presents persistent challenges to the broad adoption…
OpenGuide: Assistive Object Retrieval in Indoor Spaces for Individuals with Visual Impairments
Yifan Xu, Qianwei Wang, Vineet Kamat +1
Indoor built environments like homes and offices often present complex and cluttered layouts that pose significant challenges for individuals who are blind or visually impaired, es…
Siamese Network with Dual Attention for EEG-Driven Social Learning: Bridging the Human-Robot Gap in Long-Tail Autonomous Driving
Xiaoshan Zhou, Carol C. Menassa, Vineet R. Kamat
Robots with wheeled, quadrupedal, or humanoid forms are increasingly integrated into built environments. However, unlike human social learning, they lack a critical pathway for int…
Open-Vocabulary Semantic Segmentation with Uncertainty Alignment for Robotic Scene Understanding in Indoor Building Environments
Yifan Xu, Vineet Kamat, Carol Menassa
The global rise in the number of people with physical disabilities, in part due to improvements in post-trauma survivorship and longevity, has amplified the demand for advanced ass…
