VULCAN: Vision-Language-Model Enhanced Multi-Agent Cooperative Navigation for Indoor Fire-Disaster Response
Shengding Liu, Qiben Yan
Indoor fire disasters pose severe challenges to autonomous search and rescue due to dense smoke, high temperatures, and dynamically evolving indoor environments. In such time-criti…
VORL-EXPLORE: A Hybrid Learning Planning Approach to Multi-Robot Exploration in Dynamic Environments
Ning Liu, Sen Shen, Zheng Li +4
Hierarchical multi-robot exploration commonly decouples frontier allocation from local navigation, which can make the system brittle in dense and dynamic environments. Because the…
CompliantVLA-adaptor: VLM-Guided Variable Impedance Action for Safe Contact-Rich Manipulation
Heng Zhang, Wei-Hsing Huang, Qiyi Tong +7
We propose a CompliantVLA-adaptor that augments the state-of-the-art Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models with vision-language model (VLM)-informed context-aware variable impedance…
FORGE-Tree: Diffusion-Forcing Tree Search for Long-Horizon Robot Manipulation
Yanjia Huang, Shuo Liu, Sheng Liu +4
Long-horizon robot manipulation tasks remain challenging for Vision-Language-Action (VLA) policies due to drift and exposure bias, often denoise the entire trajectory with fixed hy…
ActivePose: Active 6D Object Pose Estimation and Tracking for Robotic Manipulation
Sheng Liu, Zhe Li, Weiheng Wang +6
Accurate 6-DoF object pose estimation and tracking are critical for reliable robotic manipulation. However, zero-shot methods often fail under viewpoint-induced ambiguities and fix…
Diffusion Models for Robotic Manipulation: A Survey
Rosa Wolf, Yitian Shi, Sheng Liu +1
Diffusion generative models have demonstrated remarkable success in visual domains such as image and video generation. They have also recently emerged as a promising approach in ro…
