GOLEM: Modular Humanoid Autonomy Towards Electric Vehicle Battery Disassembly
Max Conway, William Xie, Allen Devaraj +14
Disassembling end-of-life electric vehicle (EV) battery packs is dull and dangerous work, performed almost entirely by humans. We present GOLEM (Generalized Open Library of Embodie…
Robotic Agentic Platform for Intelligent Electric Vehicle Disassembly
Zachary Allen, Max Conway, Lyle Antieau +2
Electric vehicles (EV) create an urgent need for scalable battery recycling, yet disassembly of EV battery packs remains largely manual due to high design variability. We present o…
Unfettered Forceful Skill Acquisition with Physical Reasoning and Coordinate Frame Labeling
William Xie, Max Conway, Yutong Zhang +1
Vision language models (VLMs) exhibit vast knowledge of the physical world, including intuition of physical and spatial properties, affordances, and motion. With fine-tuning, VLMs…
Data-Driven Hierarchical Open Set Recognition
Andrew Hannum, Max Conway, Mario Lopez +1
This paper presents a novel data-driven hierarchical approach to open set recognition (OSR) for robust perception in robotics and computer vision, utilizing constrained agglomerati…
