GuideFetch: A Task Coordination Framework for Concurrent Navigation and Object Retrieval in Assistive Robot Dogs
Qian Yin, Ruiping Liu, Kunyu Peng +7
Consider a robot guide dog escorting a blind user to an available seat while a second assistive robot dog concurrently retrieves a cup of coffee and delivers it to the same seat. T…
SeqLoc: Beyond the Single Frame for Cross-View Geo-Localization in Feature-Sparse Scenes
Junwei Zheng, Yun Huang, Ruize Dai +8
Cross-View Geo-Localization (CVGL) with OpenStreetMap (OSM) performs well in structure-rich urban environments but collapses in feature-sparse scenes such as rural roads. To study…
EgoExoMem: Cross-View Memory Reasoning over Synchronized Egocentric and Exocentric Videos
Ruiping Liu, Junwei Zheng, Yufan Chen +7
Egocentric memory is widely used in embodied intelligence, but it may be insufficient for comprehensive spatial-temporal reasoning. Inspired by human recall from both field and obs…
What if? Emulative Simulation with World Models for Situated Reasoning
Ruiping Liu, Yufan Chen, Yuheng Zhang +8
Situated reasoning often relies on active exploration, yet in many real-world scenarios such exploration is infeasible due to physical constraints of robots or safety concerns of v…
RHO: Robust Holistic OSM-Based Metric Cross-View Geo-Localization
Junwei Zheng, Ruize Dai, Ruiping Liu +7
Metric Cross-View Geo-Localization (MCVGL) aims to estimate the 3-DoF camera pose (position and heading) by matching ground and satellite images. In this work, instead of pinhole a…
Faster or Stronger: Towards Flexible Visual Place Recognition via Weighted Aggregation and Token Pruning
Zichao Zeng, June Moh Goo, Junwei Zheng +4
Visual Place Recognition (VPR) aims to match a query image to reference images of the same place in a large-scale database. Recent state-of-the-art methods employ Vision Transforme…
