Recent robot learning methods commonly rely on imitation learning from massive robotic dataset collected with teleoperation. When facing a new task, such methods generally require collecting a set of new teleoperation data and finetuning the policy. Furthermore, the teleoperation data collection pip…
Ocean dynamics drive global climate patterns and extreme weather events, making accurate spatiotemporal forecasting essential for climate monitoring and marine operations. Traditional Global Ocean Forecasting Systems (GOFSs) offer high accuracy predictions, yet remain computationally expensive and f
Rapid generation of large-scale orthoimages from Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) has been a long-standing focus of research in the field of aerial mapping. A multi-sensor UAV system, integrating the Global Positioning System (GPS), Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), 4D millimeter-wave radar and camera
Recent advancements in Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have leveraged pre-trained Vision-Language Models (VLMs) to improve the generalization capabilities. VLMs, typically pre-trained on vision-language understanding tasks, provide rich semantic knowledge and reasoning abilities. However, prior…
Federated learning (FL) enables collaborative model training without exposing raw data, offering a privacy-aware alternative to centralized learning. However, FL remains vulnerable to various privacy attacks that exploit shared model updates, including membership inference, property inference, and g
Humanoid robots, with their human-like skeletal structure, are especially suited for tasks in human-centric environments. However, this structure is accompanied by additional challenges in locomotion controller design, especially in complex real-world environments. As a result, existing humanoid rob…
Multiple instance learning (MIL) is the most widely used framework in computational pathology encompassing sub-typing diagnosis prognosis and more. However the existing MIL paradigm typically requires an offline instance feature extractor such as a pre-trained ResNet or a foundation model. This appr…
Reinforcement learning shows great potential to solve complex contact-rich robot manipulation tasks. However, the safety of using RL in the real world is a crucial problem, since unexpected dangerous collisions might happen when the RL policy is imperfect during training or in unseen scenarios. In t…
