Through the Lens of Doubt: Robust and Efficient Uncertainty Estimation for Visual Place Recognition

RA-L 2026

Visual Place Recognition (VPR) enables robots and autonomous vehicles to identify previously visited locations by matching current observations against a database of known places. However, VPR systems face significant challenges when deployed across varying visual environments, lighting conditions,

QT-TDM: Planning With Transformer Dynamics Model and Autoregressive Q-Learning

RA-L 2025

Inspired by the success of the Transformer architecture in natural language processing and computer vision, we investigate the use of Transformers in Reinforcement Learning (RL), specifically in modeling the environment's dynamics using Transformer Dynamics Models (TDMs). We evaluate the capabilitie

Chat with the Environment: Interactive Multimodal Perception Using Large Language Models

IROS 2023poster

Programming robot behavior in a complex world faces challenges on multiple levels, from dextrous low-level skills to high-level planning and reasoning. Recent pre-trained Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown remarkable reasoning ability in few-shot robotic planning. However, it remains challengin…

Impact Makes a Sound and Sound Makes an Impact: Sound Guides Representations and Explorations

IROS 2022poster

Sound is one of the most informative and abundant modalities in the real world while being robust to sense without contacts by small and cheap sensors that can be placed on mobile devices. Although deep learning is capable of extracting information from multiple sensory inputs, there has been little…
