PhotoAgent: A Robotic Photographer with Spatial and Aesthetic Understanding
Lirong Che, Zhenfeng Gan, Yanbo Chen +2
Embodied agents for creative tasks like photography must bridge the semantic gap between high-level language commands and geometric control. We introduce PhotoAgent, an agent that…
CausalNav: A Long-term Embodied Navigation System for Autonomous Mobile Robots in Dynamic Outdoor Scenarios
Hongbo Duan, Shangyi Luo, Zhiyuan Deng +5
Autonomous language-guided navigation in large-scale outdoor environments remains a key challenge in mobile robotics, due to difficulties in semantic reasoning, dynamic conditions,…
Data-Driven MPC with Data Selection for Flexible Cable-Driven Robotic Arms
Huayue Liang, Yanbo Chen, Hongyang Cheng +5
Flexible cable-driven robotic arms (FCRAs) offer dexterous and compliant motion. Still, the inherent properties of cables, such as resilience, hysteresis, and friction, often lead…
A Universal Vehicle-Trailer Navigation System with Neural Kinematics and Online Residual Learning
Yanbo Chen, Yunzhe Tan, Yaojia Wang +3
Autonomous navigation of vehicle-trailer systems is crucial in environments like airports, supermarkets, and concert venues, where various types of trailers are needed to navigate…
VTire: A Bimodal Visuotactile Tire with High-Resolution Sensing Capability
Shoujie Li, Jianle Xu, Tong Wu +5
Developing smart tires with high sensing capability is significant for improving the moving stability and environmental adaptability of wheeled robots and vehicles. However, due to…
D3-ARM: High-Dynamic, Dexterous and Fully Decoupled Cable-driven Robotic Arm
Hong Luo, Jianle Xu, Shoujie Li +4
Cable transmission enables motors of robotic arm to operate lightweight and low-inertia joints remotely in various environments, but it also creates issues with motion coupling and…
