GRAD-NAV++: Vision-Language Model Enabled Visual Drone Navigation With Gaussian Radiance Fields and Differentiable Dynamics

RA-L 2026

Autonomous drones capable of interpreting and executing high-level language instructions in unstructured environments remain a long-standing goal. Yet existing approaches are constrained by their dependence on hand-crafted skills, extensive parameter tuning, or computationally intensive models unsui

GRaD-Nav: Efficiently Learning Visual Drone Navigation with Gaussian Radiance Fields and Differentiable Dynamics

IROS 2025

Autonomous visual navigation is an essential element in robot autonomy. Reinforcement learning (RL) offers a promising policy training paradigm. However, existing RL methods suffer from high sample complexity, poor sim-to-real transfer, and limited runtime adaptability. These problems are particular

TrackDLO: Tracking Deformable Linear Objects Under Occlusion With Motion Coherence

RA-L 2023

The TrackDLO algorithm estimates the shape of a Deformable Linear Object (DLO) under occlusion from a sequence of RGB-D images. TrackDLO is vision-only and runs in real-time. It requires no external state information from physics modeling, simulation, visual markers, or contact as input. The algorit
