A major bottleneck in off-road autonomous driving research lies in the scarcity of large-scale, high-quality datasets and benchmarks. To bridge this gap, we present ORAD-3D, which, to the best of our knowledge, is the largest dataset specifically curated for off-road autonomous driving. ORAD-3D cove…
Retrieving real-time information is a fundamental capability for search-integrated agents in real-world applications. However, existing benchmarks are predominantly static and therefore fail to capture the temporal dynamics of information and the continuously evolving nature of real-world knowledge.
Diffusion models have shown impressive capabilities in text-to-image synthesis, but multi-concept personalized generation remains challenging, particularly in aligning multiple reference concepts while preserving fidelity.

Without manual annotations, unsupervised cross-modal hashing (UCMH) aims to achieve efficient clustering and retrieval by leveraging data interrelationships. However, the retrieval accuracy is constrained by two main aspects: 1) insufficient exploration of data relationships; 2) existing knowledge m
Learning fast and robust ball-kicking skills is a critical capability for humanoid soccer robots, yet it remains a challenging problem due to the need for rapid leg swings, postural stability on a single support foot, and robustness under noisy sensory input and external perturbations (e.g., opponen…
In the field of autonomous driving, constructing high-precision maps, typically represented as 3D point cloud maps or bird's-eye view (BEV) grid maps, is essential for both offline and online applications. However, the presence of dynamic objects within a scene can introduce artifacts and noise that…
Temporal reasoning is a fundamental capability for large language models (LLMs) to understand real-world dynamics. Existing research on temporal reasoning has predominantly focused on the Gregorian calendar. However, as many countries and regions concurrently adopt multiple calendar systems, tempora
Offline reinforcement learning (RL) holds significant potential for crowd robot navigation in human-robot coexistence applications.

Cooperative tasks are common in multi-agent systems, with closely cooperative tasks being a special case of this, where a change in the state of the environment requires multiple agents to perform a specific operation at the same time. Take a box-pushing task as an example, the box is heavy and requ…
Large Language Models (LLMs) based agent systems have made great strides in real-world applications beyond traditional NLP tasks.

Different camera sensors have different noise patterns, and thus an image denoising model trained on one sensor often does not generalize well to a different sensor. One plausible solution is to collect a large dataset for each sensor for training or fine-tuning, which is inevitably time-consuming.…
