VLM-E2E: Enhancing End-To-End Autonomous Driving with Multimodal Driver Attention Fusion

ICRA 2026poster

Human drivers adeptly navigate complex scenarios by utilizing rich attentional semantics, but the current autonomous systems struggle to replicate this ability, as they often lose critical semantic information when converting 2D observations into 3D space. In this sense, it hinders their effective d…

Robot Navigation in Unknown and Cluttered Workspace with Dynamical System Modulation in Starshaped Roadmap

ICRA 2025

Compared to conventional decomposition methods that use ellipses or polygons to represent free space, starshaped representation can better capture the natural distribution of sensor data, thereby exploiting a larger portion of traversable space. This paper introduces a novel motion planning and cont

Geometry-Aware Safety-Critical Local Reactive Controller for Robot Navigation in Unknown and Cluttered Environments

RA-L 2024

This work proposes a safety-critical local reactive controller that enables the robot to navigate in unknown and cluttered environments. In particular, the trajectory tracking task is formulated as a constrained polynomial optimization problem. Then, safety constraints are imposed on the control var

Parallel Optimization with Hard Safety Constraints for Cooperative Planning of Connected Autonomous Vehicles

ICRA 2024poster

The development of connected autonomous vehicles (CAVs) facilitates the enhancement of traffic efficiency in complicated scenarios. Difficulties remain unsolved in developing an effective and efficient coordination strategy for CAVs. In this paper, we formulate the cooperative autonomous driving tas…
