Language-guided robotic grasping in cluttered environments presents significant challenges due to severe occlusions and complex scene structures, which often hinder accurate target localization. Existing approaches typically suffer from limited observational capabilities, resulting in suboptimal exp…
LiDAR Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) has been pivotal in various domains, including digital twins, geographic surveying, and autonomous mobile robotics. However, achieving an optimal balance between high precision and computational efficiency remains a significant challenge. In this pa
Diffusion models are now commonly used to solve inverse problems in computational imaging. However, most diffusion-based inverse solvers require complete knowledge of the forward operator to be used. In this work, we introduce a novel probabilistic and robust inverse solver with measurement-conditio…
Underwater monocular SLAM is a challenging problem with applications from autonomous underwater vehicles to marine archaeology. However, existing underwater SLAM methods struggle to produce maps with high-fidelity rendering. In this paper, we propose WaterSplat-SLAM, a novel monocular underwater SLA

Visual object navigation, requiring agents to locate target objects in novel environments through egocentric visual observation, remains a critical challenge in Embodied AI. We propose FEG-VON, a training-free framework that constructs and maintains a Frontier Embedding Graph for efficient Visual Ob
Dynamic grasping of moving objects in complex, continuous motion scenarios remains challenging. Reinforcement Learning (RL) has been applied in various robotic manipulation tasks, benefiting from its closed-loop property. However, existing RL-based methods do not fully explore the potential for enha
Robotic grasping, serving as the cornerstone of robot manipulation, is fundamental for embodied intelligence. Manipulation in challenging scenarios demands grasp detection algorithms with higher efficiency and generalizability. However, for general 6-Dof grasp detection, most data-driven methods dir
The integration of 3D Gaussians has introduced a novel scene representation in Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM), characterized by explicit representation and differentiable rendering capabilities that enhance scene reconstruction and understanding. However, most current SLAM systems only
Traditional affordance segmentation on 3D point cloud objects requires massive amounts of annotated training data and can only make predictions within predefined classes and affordance tasks. To overcome these limitations, we propose a variation-robust few-shot 3D affordance segmentation network (VR
A series of region-based methods succeed in extracting regional features and enhancing grasp detection quality. However, faced with a cluttered scene with potential collision, the definition of the grasp-relevant region stays inconsistent. In this paper, we propose Normalized Grasp Space (NGS) from…
Legged navigation is typically examined within open-world, off-road, and challenging environments. In these scenarios, estimating external disturbances requires a complex synthesis of multi-modal information. This underlines a major limitation in existing works that primarily focus on avoiding obsta…
Fast and robust object grasping in clutter is a crucial component of robotics. Most current works resort to the whole observed point cloud for 6-Dof grasp generation, ignoring the guidance information excavated from global semantics, thus limiting high-quality grasp generation and real-time performa
Manipulating unseen articulated objects through visual feedback is a critical but challenging task for real robots. Existing learning-based solutions mainly focus on visual affordance learning or other pre-trained visual models to guide manipulation policies, which face challenges for novel instance
Pose-invariant face recognition is a practically useful but challenging task. This paper introduces a novel method to learn pose-invariant feature representation without normalizing profile faces to frontal ones or learning disentangled features. We first design a novel strategy to learn pose-invari…
Electrocardiogram (ECG) delineation, which provides clinically useful information for the diagnosis of cardiovascular disease, is an essential task in automated ECG analysis. The discrepancies among ECG signals from different datasets, namely domain shifts, may bring severe challenges to the cross-d…
Hand pose estimation is important for human computer interaction, but the performance is not satisfying when the hand is interacting with objects. To alleviate the influence of unknown objects, we propose a novel weakly supervised segmentation guided scheme to estimate hand poses. Approximate hand m…
In this paper, we strive to answer two questions: What is the current state of 3D hand pose estimation from depth images? And, what are the next challenges that need to be tackled? Following the successful Hands In the Million Challenge (HIM2017), we investigate the top 10 state-of-the-art methods o…
