Hydra: A Navigation World Action Model with Discrete Latent Planning and Continuous Flow-Matching Execution

Mohammad Nazeri, Alexandyr Card, Samira Huber +6

World models let robots imagine possible futures, but exploiting this capability for real-time planning is bottlenecked by a representation misalignment: generative models and plan…

ACME: A Multi-Cultural, Multi-Embodiment Social-Navigation Dataset

Shashank Rao Marpally, Allan Wang, Atharva Ghotavadekar +35

Understanding how robots and humans move in shared spaces is essential for designing effective social robot navigation policies and predicting human behavior. However, existing dat…

HumAIN: Human-Aware Implicit Social Robot Navigation

Daeun Song, Nhat Le, Jeffrey Chen +7

Effective social robot navigation requires sensitivity to human behavior, often revealed through subtle skeletal cues like gait and orientation. We present Human-Aware Implicit Soc…

E-SocialNav: Efficient Socially Compliant Navigation with Language Models

Ling Xiao, Daeun Song, Xuesu Xiao +1

Language models (LMs) are increasingly applied to robotic navigation; however, existing benchmarks primarily emphasize navigation success rates while paying limited attention to so…

Legs Over Arms: On the Predictive Value of Lower-Body Pose for Human Trajectory Prediction from Egocentric Robot Perception

Nhat Le, Daeun Song, Xuesu Xiao

Predicting human trajectory is crucial for social robot navigation in crowded environments. While most existing approaches treat human as point mass, we present a study on multi-ag…
