Visuomotor manipulation policies trained via large-scale behavior cloning have achieved strong semantic scene understanding, yet often fail to reliably execute correct low-level actions under distribution shifts. For example, even in a simple pick-up task with identical scene layouts, camera viewpoi…
Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) have shown strong performance across various multimodal tasks by leveraging the reasoning capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs).

Lower limb exoskeletons assist users by supporting joint movements. Since joint motion patterns vary depending on how the user moves, accurately recognizing the type of movement (locomotion mode) is crucial for controlling the exoskeleton and ensuring user safety. Inspired by how humans use multiple…
Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have led to the emergence of specialized multimodal LLMs (MLLMs), forming distinct model families that share a common foundation language models.

The resolution of voxel queries significantly influences the quality of view transformation in camera-based 3D occupancy prediction. However, computational constraints and the practical necessity for real-time deployment require smaller query resolutions, which inevitably leads to an information los…
Fine-tuning text-to-image diffusion models to maximize rewards has proven effective for enhancing model performance. However, reward fine-tuning methods often suffer from slow convergence due to online sample generation. Therefore, obtaining diverse samples with strong reward signals is crucial for…

Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) have recently shown promising results on various multimodal tasks, even achieving human-comparable performance in certain cases. Nevertheless, LVLMs remain prone to hallucinations–they often rely heavily on a single modality or memorize training data without prop
Recent LiDAR-based 3D Object Detection (3DOD) methods show promising results, but they often do not generalize well to target domains outside the source (or training) data distribution. To reduce such domain gaps and thus to make 3DOD models more generalizable, we introduce a novel unsupervised doma…
Federated learning often suffers from slow and unstable convergence due to the heterogeneous characteristics of participating client datasets. Such a tendency is aggravated when the client participation ratio is low since the information collected from the clients has large variations. To address th…
LiDAR-based 3D object detectors have been largely utilized in various applications, including autonomous vehicles or mobile robots. However, LiDAR-based detectors often fail to adapt well to target domains with different sensor configurations (e.g., types of sensors, spatial resolution, or FOVs) and…
Social relations have substantial impacts on the potential trajectories of each individual. Modeling these dynamics has been a central solution for more precise and accurate trajectory forecasting.

Typical LiDAR-based 3D object detection models are trained with real-world data collection, which is often imbalanced over classes.

In general, an experimental environment for deep learning assumes that the training and the test dataset are sampled from the same distribution. However, in real-world situations, a difference in the distribution between two datasets, i.e. domain shift, may occur, which becomes a major factor impedi…
Deep neural networks are a key component of behavior prediction and motion generation for self-driving cars. One of their main drawbacks is a lack of transparency: they should provide easy to interpret rationales for what triggers certain behaviors. We propose an architecture called Attentional Bott
Humans learn to drive through both practice and theory, e.g. by studying the rules, while most self-driving systems are limited to the former. Being able to incorporate human knowledge of typical causal driving behaviour should benefit autonomous systems. We propose a new approach that learns vehicl…
