Vision-and-Language Navigation (VLN) has largely focused on a single agent following a single instruction, yet many real-world applications require teams of robots to tackle tasks beyond the capabilities of any individual agent. We present Systematic Multi-Agent Vision-and-Language Navigation, providing, to our knowled...
Brain-SAD is proposed, a brain-inspired safe autonomous driving control framework with dynamic fear-oriented constraints that outperforms existing methods, achieving higher success rate in shorter task-completion and collision-recovery time, and exhibits stronger reliability across continuous intersections of fluctuati...

A hybrid pipeline combining an unsupervised hierarchical clustering to extract representative acceleration profiles from override events and a context classifier that maps pre-maneuver driving conditions to the appropriate profile is introduced, demonstrating high reconstruction fidelity and generates acceleration prof...

World-Action Models (WAMs) couple action generation with predictions of how physical interactions unfold. However, current post-deployment learning paradigms typically improve behavior without requiring better world predictions. Especially in dexterous manipulation, small execution errors can compound in high-dimension...
ChronoSRL is introduced, which gives the critic's embeddings an explicit temporal geometry and predicts from their temporal embeddings not only the full distribution of goal-reaching times but also the time spent near the goal.
In urban low-altitude flight, buildings reshape ambient wind into spatially varying 3D flow, making unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) energy depend on local wind exposure as well as path length. However, building-resolved wind information is rarely available when a mission must be planned. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD...

SoRoMoX (Soft Robot Models in JAX), a fully numerical, JIT-compilable Python/JAX framework that runs directly on GPUs, is end-to-end differentiable with respect to states, inputs, and parameters, and is the first rod/strain-based soft-robot modeling framework that runs directly on GPUs.

These results are a simulation-based control benchmark, not a clinical safety claim: the modeled tip is a rigid contact point, and flexible-thread mechanics, a validated force constraint, biological damage thresholds, and hardware-realistic sensing and timing remain necessary before deployment.
This paper instantiates the predictive interaction-dynamics framework of the base pHRI formulation on a SEA knee joint by implementing Bounded Assist-as-Needed scheduling, a corrective-channel energy tank, constrained OSQP stress cases, direct MuJoCo execution, and a posture-clamped MyoSuite knee slice.
MILE, a teleoperation-based data-collection system comprising the wearable MILE exoskeleton and the mechanically corresponding MILE-Tac robotic hand, and trained paired ACT and DP policies with and without tactile input on MILE-collected demonstrations for downstream imitation learning.

We introduce CoinFT, a capacitive 6-axis force/torque (F/T) sensor that is compact, light, low-cost, and robust with an average root-mean-squared error of 0.16 N for force and 1.08 mN m for moment when the input ranges from 0-14 N and 0-5 N in normal and shear directions, respectively. CoinFT is a stack of two rigid PC...

A new system identifies and corrects unreliable object descriptions stored in a robot’s memory, improving the robot’s ability to interact with its environment.
Robots are getting smarter, but how can their hardware match that growth? New Microsoft Research findings show that moving AI inference beyond the robot can improve task success, boost efficiency, and support more advanced physical AI workloads. The post Offloaded inference for real-world physical AI robotics appeared first on Microsoft Research.
