Efficient Frontier-Sampling-Mixed Autonomous Exploration Using Environmental Complexity

ICRA 2026poster

When exploring complex unknown environments, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) often experience reduced efficiency and robustness due to unevenly distributed occlusions. This paper proposes an efficient hybrid autonomous exploration algorithm that adapts to environmental complexity, enabling effective…

Design of a Variable Wheel-propeller Integrated Mechanism for Amphibious Robots

IROS 2024poster

In order to address the high complexity and low efficiency of amphibious propulsion systems, this paper proposes a novel variable wheel-propeller integrated mechanism for amphibious robots. By adjusting the blade pitch angle, it enables multiple motion modes, including rapid and stable movement on f…

Efficient Federated Learning against Heterogeneous and Non-stationary Client Unavailability

NeurIPS 2024poster

Addressing intermittent client availability is critical for the real-world deployment of federated learning algorithms. Most prior work either overlooks the potential non-stationarity in the dynamics of client unavailability or requires substantial memory/computation overhead. We study federated lea…

Simple but Challenging: Natural Language Inference Models Fail on Simple Sentences

EMNLP 2022finding

Natural language inference (NLI) is a task to infer the relationship between a premise and a hypothesis (e.g., entailment, neutral, or contradiction), and transformer-based models perform well on current NLI datasets such as MNLI and SNLI. Nevertheless, given the linguistic complexity of the large-s…
