FASIONAD: Adaptive Uncertainty-Gated Fast–Slow Fusion Framework for Safe Autonomous Driving

ICRA 2026poster

Previous fast–slow system architectures demonstrated that pairing a reactive E2E planner with a deliberative vision-language model (VLM) can address these long-tail scenarios. However, these dual-system models that query the slow module at fixed intervals are computationally inefficient and introduc…

MTRDrive: Memory-Tool Synergistic Reasoning for Robust Autonomous Driving in Corner Cases

ICRA 2026poster

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have demonstrated significant potential for end-to-end autonomous driving, yet a substantial gap remains between their current capabilities and the reliability necessary for real-world deployment. A critical challenge is their fragility, characterized by hallucinations …

AgentThink: A Unified Framework for Tool-Augmented Chain-of-Thought Reasoning in Vision-Language Models for Autonomous Driving

EMNLP 2025

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) show promise for autonomous driving, yet their struggle with hallucinations, inefficient reasoning, and limited real-world validation hinders accurate perception and robust step-by-step reasoning. To overcome this, we introduce AgentThink , a pioneering unified framewor

EFFOcc: Learning Efficient Occupancy Networks from Minimal Labels for Autonomous Driving

IROS 2025

3D occupancy prediction (3DOcc) is a rapidly rising and challenging perception task in the field of autonomous driving. Existing 3D occupancy networks (OccNets) are both computationally heavy and label-hungry. In terms of model complexity, OccNets are commonly composed of heavy Conv3D modules or tra

Efficient End-to-end Visual Localization for Autonomous Driving with Decoupled BEV Neural Matching

IROS 2025

Accurate localization plays an important role in high-level autonomous driving systems. Conventional map matching-based localization methods solve the poses by explicitly matching map elements with sensor observations, generally sensitive to perception noise, therefore requiring costly hyperparamete

Enhancing Autonomous Vehicle Planning With a Robust Fault-Tolerant Mechanism for Action-Induced Agent Detection

ICASSP 2025accepted

In autonomous driving, accurately identifying traffic participants that may influence vehicle behavior is crucial for effective system planning. To address this challenge, we propose a fault-tolerant mechanism for detecting action-induced objects, which significantly improves decision-making perform…

LEGO-Motion: Learning-Enhanced Grids with Occupancy Instance Modeling for Class-Agnostic Motion Prediction

IROS 2025

Accurate spatial and motion understanding is critical for autonomous driving systems. While object-level perception models excel in structured environments, they struggle with open-set categories and often lack precise geometric representation. Occupancy-based, class-agnostic methods offer better sc
