The end-to-end autonomous driving paradigm has recently attracted lots of attention due to its scalability. However, existing methods are constrained by the limited scale of real-world data, which hinders a comprehensive exploration of the scaling laws associated with end-to-end autonomous driving. …
Transparent objects remain notoriously hard for perception systems: refraction, reflection and transmission break the assumptions behind stereo, ToF and purely discriminative monocular depth, causing holes and temporally unstable estimates. Our key observation is that modern video diffusion models a…
Modern robotic policies increasingly rely on action chunking to execute complex tasks in the physical world. While action chunking improves temporal consistency at moderate action frequencies, it becomes insufficient when the action frequency is further increased (e.g., to 60~Hz). At such high frequ…
Contact feedback is essential for contact-rich robotic manipulation, as it allows the robot to detect subtle interaction changes and adjust its actions accordingly. Six- axis force-torque sensors are commonly used to obtain contact feedback, but their high cost and fragility have discouraged many re…
Recently, end-to-end robotic manipulation models have gained significant attention for their generalizability and scalability. However, they often suffer from limited robustness to camera viewpoint changes when training with a fixed camera. In this paper, we propose VistaBot, a novel framework that …
Vision-based multi-drone multi-object tracking technology enables autonomous target situational awareness for unmanned aerial systems. Distributed observer drones dynamically estimate the spatio-temporal states of multiple targets through collaborative sensor fusion, enabling simultaneous localizati
End-to-end autonomous driving directly generates planning trajectories from raw sensor data, yet it typically relies on costly perception supervision to extract scene information. A critical research challenge arises: constructing an informative driving world model to enable perception annotation-fr…
Constructing a 3D scene capable of accommodating open-ended language queries, is a pivotal pursuit in the domain of robotics, which facilitates robots in executing object manipulations based on human language directives. To achieve this, some research efforts have been dedicated to the development o
Monocular Semantic Occupancy Prediction aims to infer the complete 3D geometry and semantic information of scenes from only 2D images. It has garnered significant attention, particularly due to its potential to enhance the 3D perception of autonomous vehicles. However, existing methods rely on a com…
"3D dense captioning stands as a cornerstone in achieving a comprehensive understanding of 3D scenes through natural language. It has recently witnessed remarkable achievements, particularly in indoor settings. However, the exploration of 3D dense captioning in outdoor scenes is hindered by two majo…
Keypoint-based representation has proven advantageous in various visual and robotic tasks. However, the existing 2D and 3D methods for detecting keypoints mainly rely on geometric consistency to achieve spatial alignment, neglecting temporal consistency. To address this issue, the Transporter method…
End-to-end autonomous driving has great potential in the transportation industry. However, the lack of transparency and interpretability of the automatic decision-making process hinders its industrial adoption in practice. There have been some early attempts to use attention maps or cost volume for…
Motion forecasting is an important component in autonomous driving systems. One of the most challenging problems in motion forecasting is interactive trajectory prediction, whose goal is to jointly forecasts the future trajectories of interacting agents. To this end, we present a large-scale interac…
Self-supervised depth estimation draws a lot of attention recently as it can promote the 3D sensing capa-bilities of self-driving vehicles. However, it intrinsically relies upon the photometric consistency assumption, which hardly holds during nighttime. Although various supervised night-time image…
"Data Augmentation (DA) --- generating extra training samples beyond original training set --- has been widely-used in today’s unbiased VQA models to mitigate the language biases. Current mainstream DA strategies are synthetic-based methods, which synthesize new samples by either editing some visual…
