Solving a Giant Rubik's Cube with a Quadruped Robot
Lukas Amiet, Gabriel Sánchez-Blanco Repgen, Mayank Mittal +4
Pedipulating a freestanding articulated object requires controlling its pose and internal configuration while maintaining balance. We demonstrate this capability by autonomously so…
Learning Agile Perceptive Traversal of Sparse 3D Structures for Humanoids
Efe Ongan, Chong Zhang, Boyang Sun +3
Traversing sparse 3D structures requires humanoid robots to perceive thin, overhanging geometry while executing agile, accurate whole-body motions. We study this problem through mo…
Tripody: An Overconstrained 3-SPR-like Parallel Robot for High-Reach Construction Tasks
Julien Kindle, Jakub Raczy, Riccardo Balbi +3
Many ceiling construction tasks still rely on heavy serial manipulators that are difficult to deploy in cluttered interiors, motivating lightweight, field-ready alternatives that r…
Robots Need More than VLA and World Models
Elis Karcini, Faisal Mehrban, Quang Nguyen +6
Generalist robot intelligence is often framed as a policy-scaling problem: collect more robot demonstrations, train larger Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models, and expect broader g…
An Efficient Beam Search Algorithm for Active Perception in Mobile Robotics
Kaixian Qu, Han Wang, Victor Klemm +2
Active perception is a fundamental problem in autonomous robotics in which the robot must decide where to move and what to sense in order to obtain the most informative observation…
Learning Multi-Agent Local Collision-Avoidance for Collaborative Carrying tasks with Coupled Quadrupedal Robots
Francesca Bray, Simone Tolomei, Andrei Cramariuc +2
Robotic collaborative carrying could greatly benefit human activities like warehouse and construction site management. However, coordinating the simultaneous motion of multiple rob…
Path-conditioned Reinforcement Learning-based Local Planning for Long-Range Navigation
Mateo Haro, Julia Richter, Fan Yang +2
Long-range navigation is commonly addressed through hierarchical pipelines in which a global planner generates a path, decomposed into waypoints, and followed sequentially by a loc…
GrandTour: A Legged Robotics Dataset in the Wild for Multi-Modal Perception and State Estimation
Turcan Tuna, Jonas Frey, Frank Fu +5
Accurate state estimation and multi-modal perception are prerequisites for autonomous legged robots in complex, large-scale environments. To date, no large-scale public legged-robo…
Large-Scale Autonomous Gas Monitoring for Volcanic Environments: A Legged Robot on Mount Etna
Julia Richter, Turcan Tuna, Manthan Patel +6
Volcanic gas emissions are key precursors of eruptive activity. Yet, obtaining accurate near-surface measurements remains hazardous and logistically challenging, motivating the nee…
DeFM: Learning Foundation Representations from Depth for Robotics
Manthan Patel, Jonas Frey, Mayank Mittal +5
Depth sensors are widely deployed across robotic platforms, and advances in fast, high-fidelity depth simulation have enabled robotic policies trained on depth observations to achi…
SAHA: Supervised Autonomous HArvester for selective forest thinning
Fang Nan, Meher Malladi, Qingqing Li +7
Forestry plays a vital role in our society, creating significant ecological, economic, and recreational value. Efficient forest management involves labor-intensive and complex oper…
