Reliability-Aware Sparse Route Memory for Round-Trip Vision-Language Navigation

Bojun Long, Lingfan Bao, Tianhu Peng +2

Vision-language navigation (VLN) is typically evaluated as a one-way task, although deployed robots may need to return after reaching a goal. We study continuous round-trip VLN and…

PAMoR: Parameterized Affective Motion Generation in Real Time for Humanoid Robots

Yan Pan, Lingfan Bao, Tianhu Peng +1

People read a humanoid robot's motion in social settings not only for the action performed but for the affect conveyed. Motion carrying that affect has so far been generated for hu…
