Recently, with the increasing capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs), AI applications have gradually emerged to solve various problems in people
Accurate prediction of pedestrian trajectories is crucial for improving the safety of autonomous driving. However, this task is generally nontrivial due to the inherent stochasticity of human motion, which naturally requires the predictor to generate multi-modal prediction. Previous works leverage v
Despite recent advances in learning-based controllers for legged robots, deployments in human-centric environments remain limited by safety concerns. Most of these approaches use position-based control, where policies output target joint angles that must be processed by a low-level controller (e.g.,…
The past years have witnessed a proliferation of large language models (LLMs). Yet, reliable evaluation of LLMs is challenging due to the inaccuracy of standard metrics in human perception of text quality and the inefficiency in sampling informative test examples for human evaluation. This paper pre…
Optimal Control for legged robots has gone through a paradigm shift from position-based to torque-based control, owing to the latter’s compliant and robust nature. In parallel to this shift, the community has also turned to Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) as a promising approach to directly learn…
Evaluating and training autonomous driving systems require diverse and scalable corner cases. However, most existing scene generation methods lack controllability, accuracy, and versatility, resulting in unsatisfactory generation results. Inspired by DragGAN in image generation, we propose DragTraff
Animals possess a remarkable ability to navigate challenging terrains, achieved through the interplay of various pathways between the brain, central pattern generators (CPGs) in the spinal cord, and musculoskeletal system. Traditional bioinspired control frameworks often rely on a singular control p
From insects to larger mammals, legged animals can be seen easily traversing a wide variety of challenging environments, by carefully selecting, reaching, and exploiting high-quality contacts with the terrain. In contrast, existing robotic foothold planning methods remain computationally expensive,
Assessing grasp stability is essential to prevent the failure of robotic manipulation tasks due to sensory data and object uncertainties. Learning-based approaches are widely deployed to infer the success of a grasp. Typically, the underlying model used to estimate the grasp stability is trained for…
