LieIPM: Lie Group Interior Point Method for Direct Trajectory Optimization of Rigid Bodies
Sangli Teng, Ruiqi Zhang, Tzu-Yuan Lin +5
Designing dynamically feasible trajectories for rigid bodies is a fundamental problem in robotics. While direct methods are widely used, the existing constrained optimizers typical…
LongNav-R1: Horizon-Adaptive Multi-Turn RL for Long-Horizon VLA Navigation
Yue Hu, Avery Xi, Qixin Xiao +4
This paper develops LongNav-R1, an end-to-end multi-turn reinforcement learning (RL) framework designed to optimize Visual-Language-Action (VLA) models for long-horizon navigation.…
Imaginative World Modeling with Scene Graphs for Embodied Agent Navigation
Yue Hu, Junzhe Wu, Ruihan Xu +5
Semantic navigation requires an agent to navigate toward a specified target in an unseen environment. Employing an imaginative navigation strategy that predicts future scenes befor…
Max Entropy Moment Kalman Filter for Polynomial Systems with Arbitrary Noise
Sangli Teng, Harry Zhang, David Jin +4
Designing optimal Bayes filters for nonlinear non-Gaussian systems is a challenging task. The main difficulties are: 1) representing complex beliefs, 2) handling non-Gaussian noise…
Riemannian Direct Trajectory Optimization of Rigid Bodies on Matrix Lie Groups
Sangli Teng, Tzu-Yuan Lin, William A Clark +2
Designing dynamically feasible trajectories for rigid bodies is a fundamental problem in robotics. Although direct trajectory optimization is widely applied to solve this problem,…
A Generalized Metriplectic System via Free Energy and System~Identification via Bilevel Convex Optimization
Sangli Teng, Kaito Iwasaki, William Clark +4
This work generalizes the classical metriplectic formalism to model Hamiltonian systems with nonconservative dissipation. Classical metriplectic representations allow for the descr…
