FAM-HRI: Foundation-Model Assisted Multi-Modal Human-Robot Interaction Combining Gaze and Speech
Yuzhi Lai, Shenghai Yuan, Peizheng Li +4
ffective Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) is crucial for enhancing accessibility and usability in real-world robotics applications. However, existing solutions often rely on gesture-…
AGO: Adaptive Grounding for Open World 3D Occupancy Prediction
Peizheng Li, Shuxiao Ding, You Zhou +6
Open-world 3D semantic occupancy prediction aims to generate a voxelized 3D representation from sensor inputs while recognizing both known and unknown objects. Transferring open-vo…
Lightweight Multi-Frame Integration for Robust YOLO Object Detection in Videos
Yitong Quan, Benjamin Kiefer, Martin Messmer +1
Modern image-based object detection models, such as YOLOv7, primarily process individual frames independently, thus ignoring valuable temporal context naturally present in videos.…
The Role of Tactile Sensing for Learning Reach and Grasp
Boya Zhang, Iris Andrussow, Andreas Zell +1
Stable and robust robotic grasping is essential for current and future robot applications. In recent works, the use of large datasets and supervised learning has enhanced speed and…
Approximate Supervised Object Distance Estimation on Unmanned Surface Vehicles
Benjamin Kiefer, Yitong Quan, Andreas Zell
Unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) and boats are increasingly important in maritime operations, yet their deployment is limited due to costly sensors and complexity. LiDAR, radar, an…
Evaluating UAV Path Planning Algorithms for Realistic Maritime Search and Rescue Missions
Martin Messmer, Andreas Zell
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are emerging as very important tools in search and rescue (SAR) missions at sea, enabling swift and efficient deployment for locating individuals or…
