External Human-Machine Interface based on Intent Recognition: Framework Design and Experimental Validation
Boya Sun, Haotian Shi, Ying Ni +2
Increasing autonomous vehicles (AVs) in transportation systems makes effective interactions between AVs and pedestrians indispensable. External human--machine interface (eHMI), whi…
Sight Over Site: Perception-Aware Reinforcement Learning for Efficient Robotic Inspection
Richard Kuhlmann, Jakob Wolfram, Boyang Sun +4
Autonomous inspection is a central problem in robotics, with applications ranging from industrial monitoring to search-and-rescue. Traditionally, inspection has often been reduced…
ActLoc: Learning to Localize on the Move via Active Viewpoint Selection
Jiajie Li, Boyang Sun, Luca Di Giammarino +2
Reliable localization is critical for robot navigation, yet most existing systems implicitly assume that all viewing directions at a location are equally informative. In practice,…
ForesightNav: Learning Scene Imagination for Efficient Exploration
Hardik Shah, Jiaxu Xing, Nico Messikommer +3
Understanding how humans leverage prior knowledge to navigate unseen environments while making exploratory decisions is essential for developing autonomous robots with similar abil…
VidBot: Learning Generalizable 3D Actions from In-the-Wild 2D Human Videos for Zero-Shot Robotic Manipulation
Hanzhi Chen, Boyang Sun, Anran Zhang +2
Future robots are envisioned as versatile systems capable of performing a variety of household tasks. The big question remains, how can we bridge the embodiment gap while minimizin…
SG-Tailor: Inter-Object Commonsense Relationship Reasoning for Scene Graph Manipulation
Haoliang Shang, Hanyu Wu, Guangyao Zhai +4
Scene graphs capture complex relationships among objects, serving as strong priors for content generation and manipulation. Yet, reasonably manipulating scene graphs -- whether by…
