Force sensing is a crucial modality for Vision-Language-Action (VLA) frameworks, as it enables fine-grained perception and dexterous manipulation in contact-rich tasks. We present Force-Distilled VLA (FD-VLA), a novel framework that integrates force awareness into contact-rich manipulation without r…
Recent advancements in robotics have focused on developing foundation models capable of generating both actions and future states. Typically, these policies leverage world models to depict human-like imagination. However, most methods remain confined to the 2D domain, where they forecast only the fi…
This paper presents a unified framework that jointly predicts behavioral intentions and vectorized occupancy, leveraging them as priors to dynamically prune context information during trajectory decoding, thereby enhancing prediction accuracy, interpretability, and efficiency. While most prior work

Robotic compliance control is critical for delicate tasks such as electronic connector assembly, where precise force regulation and adaptability are paramount. However, traditional methods often struggle with modeling inaccuracies and sensor noise. Inspired by human adaptability in complex assembly …
Collision-free motion planning for redundant robot manipulators in complex environments is yet to be explored. Although recent advancements at the intersection of deep reinforcement learning (DRL) and robotics have highlighted its potential to handle versatile robotic tasks, current DRL-based collis…
As the field progresses toward Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), there is a pressing need for more comprehensive and insightful evaluation frameworks that go beyond aggregate performance metrics. This paper introduces a unified rating system that jointly models the difficulty of individual test…
The learning and aggregation of multi-scale features are essential in empowering neural networks to capture the fine-grained geometric details in the point cloud upsampling task. Most existing approaches extract multi-scale features from a point cloud of a fixed resolution, hence obtain only a limit
Spatial convolutions are widely used in numerous deep video models. It fundamentally assumes spatio-temporal invariance, i.e., using shared weights for every location in different frames. This work presents Temporally-Adaptive Convolutions (TAdaConv) for video understanding, which shows that adaptiv…
Exploiting multi-scale features has shown great potential in tackling semantic segmentation problems. The aggregation is commonly done with sum or concatenation (concat) followed by convolutional (conv) layers. However, it fully passes down the high-level context to the following hierarchy without c
Point clouds are often sparse and incomplete. Existing shape completion methods are incapable of generating details of objects or learning the complex point distributions. To this end, we propose a cascaded refinement network together with a coarse-to-fine strategy to synthesize the detailed object…
We present a novel learning approach to recover the 6D poses and sizes of unseen object instances from an RGB-D image. To handle the intra-class shape variation, we propose a deep network to reconstruct the 3D object model by explicitly modeling the deformation from a pre-learned categorical shape p…
In this paper, we present a solution for autonomous exploration and reconstruction in 3-D unknown environments without a priori knowledge of the environments. In our framework, a two-stage heuristic information gain-based next-view planning algorithm is performed to dynamically select and update can
