VOFA: Visual Object Goal Pushing with Force-Adaptive Control for Humanoids
Zichao Hu, Zifan Xu, Dongsik Chang +6
The ability to push large objects in a goal-directed manner using onboard egocentric perception is an essential skill for humanoid robots to perform complex tasks such as material…
ComposableNav: Instruction-Following Navigation in Dynamic Environments via Composable Diffusion
Zichao Hu, Chen Tang, Michael J. Munje +6
This paper considers the problem of enabling robots to navigate dynamic environments while following instructions. The challenge lies in the combinatorial nature of instruction spe…
SocialNav-SUB: Benchmarking VLMs for Scene Understanding in Social Robot Navigation
Michael J. Munje, Chen Tang, Shuijing Liu +6
Robot navigation in dynamic, human-centered environments requires socially-compliant decisions grounded in robust scene understanding. Recent Vision-Language Models (VLMs) exhibit…
HEIGHT: Heterogeneous Interaction Graph Transformer for Robot Navigation in Crowded and Constrained Environments
Shuijing Liu, Haochen Xia, Fatemeh Cheraghi Pouria +5
We study the problem of robot navigation in dense and interactive crowds with static constraints such as corridors and furniture. Previous methods fail to consider all types of spa…
SoMaSLAM: 2D Graph SLAM for Sparse Range Sensing with Soft Manhattan World Constraints
Jeahn Han, Zichao Hu, Seonmo Yang +2
We propose a graph SLAM algorithm for sparse range sensing that incorporates a soft Manhattan world utilizing landmark-landmark constraints. Sparse range sensing is necessary for t…
Efficient 2D Graph SLAM for Sparse Sensing
Hanzhi Zhou, Zichao Hu, Sihang Liu +1
Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) plays a vital role in mapping unknown spaces and aiding autonomous navigation. Virtually all state-of-the-art solutions today for 2D SL…
Deploying and Evaluating LLMs to Program Service Mobile Robots
Zichao Hu, Francesca Lucchetti, Claire Schlesinger +5
Recent advancements in large language models (LLMs) have spurred interest in using them for generating robot programs from natural language, with promising initial results. We inve…
Rethinking Social Robot Navigation: Leveraging the Best of Two Worlds
Amir Hossain Raj, Zichao Hu, Haresh Karnan +6
Empowering robots to navigate in a socially compliant manner is essential for the acceptance of robots moving in human-inhabited environments. Previously, roboticists have develope…
