Existing research on news summarization primarily focuses on single-language single-document (SLSD), single-language multi-document (SLMD) or cross-language single-document (CLSD). However, in real-world scenarios, news about an international event often involves multiple documents in different lang…
Previous methods often utilize CLIP semantic classifiers with class names for zero-shot object counting. However, they ignore crucial density and depth knowledge for counting tasks. Thus, we propose a density-aware and depth-aware prompt counting model, which captures density information via learnin…
Current zero-shot human-object interaction detection methods often follow a two-phase pipeline, which uses a pre-trained detector to detect instances and then adopts CLIP to perform interaction prediction. During the second phase, they either obtain pairwise representations by directly performing Ro…
Dual-view gaze target estimation in classroom environments has not been thoroughly explored. Existing methods lack consideration of depth information, primarily focusing on 2D image information and neglecting the latent 3D spatial context, which could lead to suboptimal transformation and cause the…
Automation of hydraulic material handling machinery is currently limited to semi-static pick-and-place cycles. Dynamic throwing motions which utilize the passive joints, can greatly improve time efficiency as well as increase the dumping workspace. In this work, we use Reinforcement Learning (RL) to…
The automation of hydraulic machinery has the potential to improve productivity and reduce human labor in many industries. However, the complex dynamics of hydraulic actuators, variability from machine to machine, and system degradation over time make it challenging to design controllers for hydraul
Autonomous navigation across unstructured terrains, including forests and construction areas, faces unique challenges due to intricate obstacles and the element of the unknown. Lacking pre-existing maps, these scenarios necessitate a motion planning approach that combines agility with efficiency. Cr…
The precise and safe control of heavy material handling machines presents numerous challenges due to the hard-to-model hydraulically actuated joints and the need for collision-free trajectory planning with a free-swinging end-effector tool. In this work, we propose an RL-based controller that comman…
We present the design of a robotic leg that can seamlessly switch between a spring-suspended, and unsuspended configuration. Switching is realized by a mechanism that exploits the alternative configuration of the two-link leg. The mechanism is lightweight, does not require additional actuation, and
The mechanical simplicity, hover capabilities, and high agility of quadrotors lead to a fast adaption in the industry for inspection, exploration, and urban aerial mobility. On the other hand, the unstable and underactuated dynamics of quadrotors render them highly susceptible to system faults, espe
