Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) approaches with Attention Mechanism have shown efficiency and effectiveness for combinatorial optimization problem, such as routing problem for autonomous vehicles (VRP). However, the real-world routing problems often involve intricate constraints and multiple objec
Multi-task robotic bimanual manipulation is becoming increasingly popular as it enables sophisticated tasks that require diverse dual-arm collaboration patterns. Compared to unimanual manipulation, bimanual tasks pose challenges to understanding the multi-body spatiotemporal dynamics. An existing me
Supervised time series prediction relies on directly measured target variables, but real-world use cases such as predicting remaining useful life (RUL) involve indirect supervision, where the target variable is labeled as a function of another dependent variable. Trending temporal regression techniq
Simultaneous speech translation (SimulST) is a demanding task that involves generating translations in real-time while continuously processing speech input. This paper offers a comprehensive overview of the recent developments in SimulST research, focusing on four major challenges. Firstly, the comp…
Nowadays, humans are allowed to work side-by-side with a robot team, which consists of dual robots in most cases. To ensure human safety, the motion of each robot should be reactive to and compliant with humans via human-in-the-loop control. Furthermore, when the robots conduct a cooperative task, t
Close human-robot interaction enables the combination of complementary abilities of humans and robots, thereby promoting efficient manufacturing. Human safety is an important aspect of human-robot interaction. To this end, the robot executes an evasive motion for collision avoidance when the human a
Safety and efficiency are two important aspects of human-robot collaboration (HRC). Most existing control methods for HRC consider either contactless HRC or physical HRC, hindering more efficient HRC. The proposed control framework enables dual-mode HRC, filling the gap between contactless and physi
Most distributed algorithms for robot coordination require relative location information, but how to obtain relative locations in a distributed manner is still a primary problem to address in multi-robot applications. In order to obtain the relative locations between robots, no matter whether they a
