Model-Agnostic Meta-Learning for Adaptive Gait Phase and Terrain Geometry Estimation With Wearable Soft Sensors

RA-L 2026

This letter presents a model-agnostic meta-learning (MAML) based framework for simultaneous and accurate estimation of human gait phase and terrain geometry using a small set of fabric-based wearable soft sensors, with efficient adaptation to unseen subjects and strong generalization across differen

PACE: Physics Augmentation for Coordinated End-To-End Reinforcement Learning Toward Versatile Humanoid Table Tennis

ICRA 2026poster

Humanoid table tennis (TT) demands rapid perception, proactive whole-body motion, and agile footwork under strict timing—capabilities that remain difficult for end-to-end control policies. We propose a reinforcement learning (RL) framework that maps ball-position observations directly to whole-body …

Position: Modular Safety Guardrails Are Necessary for Foundation-Model-Enabled Robots in the Real World

ICML 2026poster

The integration of foundation models (FMs) into robotics has accelerated real-world deployment, while introducing new safety challenges arising from open-ended semantic reasoning and embodied physical action. These challenges require safety notions beyond physical constraint satisfaction. In this po…

Leveraging Perturbation Robustness to Enhance Out-of-Distribution Detection

CVPR 2025poster

Out-of-distribution (OOD) detection is the task of identifying inputs that deviate from the training data distribution. This capability is essential for the safe deployment of deep computer vision models in open-world environments. In this work, we propose a post-hoc method, Perturbation-Rectified O…

Bipedal gait recharacterization and walking encoding generalization for stable dynamic walking

ICRA 2016

In this paper, we propose to achieve exponentially stable periodic bipedal walking based on recharacterization of bipedal gait and generalization of walking encoding. To conveniently define an asymmetric walking pattern, a gait is characterized here in terms of the left and the right legs instead of
