A Framework for Egocentric and Exocentric Procedural Understanding via Temporal Segmentation and Semantic Abstraction

Vivek Chavan, Jörg Krüger

Long-horizon ego/exo data contains rich procedural evidence, but are redundant, noisy, and costly to process or retain. We propose a compact framework that converts continuous mult…

What Matters, When? Diagnosing and Improving Conditional Visual Grounding in Visuomotor Imitation Policies

Vivek Chavan, Pengtao Xie, Yahuan Shi +3

Visuomotor imitation policies can achieve high performance under in-distribution visual conditions yet fail when visually similar objects or receptacles are introduced. We study th…

Towards Neuro-Symbolic Procedural Reasoning for Long-Horizon Vision-Language-Action Manipulation

Vivek Chavan, Yahuan Shi, Oliver Heimann +2

Vision-language-action (VLA) models can execute short manipulation skills, but remain brittle in long-horizon procedures requiring persistent task state, dependency-aware reasoning…

AI-based worker guidance in assembly and disassembly operations using multimodal ego/exo-centric data capture and structured task knowledge

Vivek Chavan, Jörg Krüger

Assembly and disassembly processes rely on expert knowledge that is difficult to document, reuse, and transfer. This paper presents a data-centric approach for extracting structure…

On the Application of Egocentric Computer Vision to Industrial Scenarios

Vivek Chavan, Oliver Heimann, Jörg Krüger

Egocentric vision aims to capture and analyse the world from the first-person perspective. We explore the possibilities for egocentric wearable devices to improve and enhance indus…
