Swimming Under Constraints: A Safe Reinforcement Learning Framework for Quadrupedal Bio-Inspired Propulsion
Xinyu Cui, Fei Han, Hang Xu +9
Bio-inspired aquatic propulsion offers high thrust and maneuverability but is prone to destabilizing forces such as lift fluctuations, which are further amplified by six-degree-of-…
Sim2Sea: Sim-to-Real Policy Transfer for Maritime Vessel Navigation in Congested Waters
Xinyu Cui, Xuanfa Jin, Xue Yan +7
Autonomous navigation in congested maritime environments is a critical capability for a wide range of real-world applications. However, it remains an unresolved challenge due to co…
Hardware Co-Design Scaling Laws via Roofline Modelling for On-Device LLMs
Luoyang Sun, Jiwen Jiang, Yifeng Ding +9
Vision-Language-Action Models (VLAs) have emerged as a key paradigm of Physical AI and are increasingly deployed in autonomous vehicles, robots, and smart spaces. In these resource…
GTA: Grouped-head latenT Attention
Luoyang Sun, Cheng Deng, Jiwen Jiang +5
Attention mechanisms underpin the success of large language models (LLMs), yet their substantial computational and memory overhead poses challenges for optimizing efficiency and pe…
SpatialViz-Bench: A Cognitively-Grounded Benchmark for Diagnosing Spatial Visualization in MLLMs
Siting Wang, Minnan Pei, Luoyang Sun +6
Humans can imagine and manipulate visual images mentally, a capability known as spatial visualization. While many multi-modal benchmarks assess reasoning on visible visual informat…
PLM: Efficient Peripheral Language Models Hardware-Co-Designed for Ubiquitous Computing
Cheng Deng, Luoyang Sun, Jiwen Jiang +10
While scaling laws have been continuously validated in large language models (LLMs) with increasing model parameters, the inherent tension between the inference demands of LLMs and…
