Systematic Multi-Agent Vision-and-Language Navigation: Formulation, Benchmark, and Method

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...

Direct Experience World-Model Optimization: Learning the World Beyond Action Imitation

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...

GeoWind2Plan: Mission-Time 3D Urban Wind Prediction for Energy-Efficient UAV Planning

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...

Preview-Based Relative-Motion Control of an Insertion Tool for Neural-Thread Placement in Pulsating Tissue

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.

Interaction Dynamics MPC for Knee Rehabilitation Exoskeletons: A Closed-Loop SEA Outer-Loop Study

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.

CoinFT: A Coin-Sized, Capacitive 6-Axis Force Torque Sensor for Robotic Applications

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...
