Find the Fruit: Zero-Shot Sim2Real RL for Occlusion-Aware Plant Manipulation
Nitesh Subedi, Hsin-Jung Yang, Devesh K. Jha +1
Autonomous harvesting in the open presents a complex manipulation problem. In most scenarios, an autonomous system has to deal with significant occlusion and require interaction in…
LCLA: Language-Conditioned Latent Alignment for Vision-Language Navigation
Nitesh Subedi, Adam Haroon, Samuel Tetteh +3
We propose LCLA (Language-Conditioned Latent Alignment), a framework for vision-language navigation that learns modular perception-action interfaces by aligning sensory observation…
Reinforcement Learning for Autonomous Point-to-Point UAV Navigation
Salim Oyinlola, Nitesh Subedi, Soumik Sarkar
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are increasingly used in automated inspection, delivery, and navigation tasks that require reliable autonomy. This project develops a reinforcement…
Can Pretrained Vision-Language Embeddings Alone Guide Robot Navigation?
Nitesh Subedi, Adam Haroon, Shreyan Ganguly +4
Foundation models have revolutionized robotics by providing rich semantic representations without task-specific training. While many approaches integrate pretrained vision-language…
