Design, Contact Modeling, and Collision-Inclusive Planning of a Dual-Stiffness Aerial RoboT (DART)

ICRA 2025

Collision-resilient quadrotors have gained significant attention given their potential for operating in cluttered environments and leveraging impacts to perform agile maneuvers. However, existing designs are typically single-mode: either safeguarded by propeller guards that prevent deformation or de

QDETRv: Query-Guided DETR for One-Shot Object Localization in Videos

AAAI 2024technical

In this work, we study one-shot video object localization problem that aims to localize instances of unseen objects in the target video using a single query image of the object. Toward addressing this challenging problem, we extend a popular and successful object detection method, namely DETR (Detec…

Design, Characterization and Control of a Whole-body Grasping and Perching (WHOPPEr) Drone

IROS 2023poster

Flying robots can exploit perching abilities to position themselves on strategically-chosen locations and monitor the areas of interest from a critical vantage point. Moreover, they can significantly extend their battery life by turning off the propulsion systems when carrying out a surveillance mis…

Deconfounded Representation Similarity for Comparison of Neural Networks

NeurIPS 2022accept

Similarity metrics such as representational similarity analysis (RSA) and centered kernel alignment (CKA) have been used to understand neural networks by comparing their layer-wise representations. However, these metrics are confounded by the population structure of data items in the input space, le…
