A Tilt-Rotor UAV with a Gripper for Stable Contact-Based Tasks via Environmental Anchoring
Joshua Taylor, Nursultan Imanberdiyev, Wei-Yun Yau +2
Maintaining a stable pose during physical interaction is a significant challenge for aerial robots, often limiting their use in contact-based tasks. This paper presents a novel unc…
VistaVLA: Geometry- and Semantic-Aware 3D Gaussian-Grounded VLA for Robotic Manipulation
Mohan Liu, Zhihao Gu, Xuanyu Chen +5
VistaVLA is a two-stage framework that builds a geometry- and semantic-aware 3D cognitive map using Gaussian primitives and compresses it into compact tokens for vision‑language‑ac…
EAGOR: Embodied Reasoning in Omni-direction
Shriram Damodaran, Soumyaratna Debnath, Yan Wu +2
Omni-directional (360°) cameras provide embodied agents with a holistic view of their surroundings, making them suited for directional reasoning in tasks such as navigation and ob…
Traversability analysis with vision and terrain probing for safe legged robot navigation
Garen Haddeler, Meng Yee Michael Chuah, Yangwei You +4
Inspired by human behavior when traveling over unknown terrain, this study proposes the use of probing strategies and integrates them into a traversability analysis framework to ad…
CL-CoTNav: Closed-Loop Hierarchical Chain-of-Thought for Zero-Shot Object-Goal Navigation with Vision-Language Models
Yuxin Cai, Xiangkun He, Maonan Wang +3
Visual Object Goal Navigation (ObjectNav) requires a robot to locate a target object in an unseen environment using egocentric observations. However, decision-making policies often…
Realm: Real-Time Line-of-Sight Maintenance in Multi-Robot Navigation with Unknown Obstacles
Ruofei Bai, Shenghai Yuan, Kun Li +3
Multi-robot navigation in complex environments relies on inter-robot communication and mutual observations for coordination and situational awareness. This paper studies the multi-…
