ReForesight: Occlusion-Robust Re-Identification and Future Occupancy Forecasting for Dynamic Semantic Mapping
Didar Seyidov, Faith Ogunwoye, Hajira Amjad +3
Robots sharing walkways need to know where people will be, yet semantic occupancy maps show only where they are. We present ReForesight, an open-source ROS 2 toolkit that adds inst…
AgenticTactileVLA: Contact-Guided Execution-Time Supervision for Generalizable Dexterous Manipulation without VLA Retraining
Elizaveta Semenyakina, Ivan Snegirev, Mikhail Kiselev +4
Vision-language-action policies may predict a transferable manipulation strategy yet fail to realize it reliably on the encountered object: objects compatible with the same grasp d…
AcousticDiffusion: Semantically Conditioned Audio-Guided Diffusion Policy for Search-and-Rescue Assistance
Iana Zhura, Didar Seyidov, Dmitrii Plotnikov +3
Navigating toward human callers is an important capability for rescue robots operating where visual contact is degraded or occluded. We present AcousticDiffusion, a semantically co…
SmellDiffusion: Diffusion-Based Quadruped Navigation with Olfactory Scene Graphs
Faith Ogunwoye, Iana Zhura, Hajira Amjad +5
A robot sent to a named gas leak must preserve gas identity, estimate the source, and navigate to the resulting goal. We present SmellDiffusion, a simulation pipeline that represen…
DreamToNav: Generalizable Navigation for Robots via Generative Video Planning
Valerii Serpiva, Jeffrin Sam, Chidera Simon +4
We present DreamToNav, a novel autonomous robot framework that uses generative video models to enable intuitive, human-in-the-loop control. Instead of relying on rigid waypoint nav…
EmbodiedDiffusion: End-to-End Traversability-Guided Visual Diffusion for Heterogeneous Robot Navigation
Iana Zhura, Sausar Karaf, Faryal Batool +7
Visual traversability estimation is central to autonomous navigation, yet most approaches either rely on prompt-driven Vision-Language Model (VLM) or decouple traversability from t…
