While reasoning technology like Chain-of-Thought (CoT) has been widely adopted in Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models, it demonstrates promising capabilities in end-to-end autonomous driving. However, recent efforts to integrate CoT reasoning often fall short in simple scenarios, introducing unneces…
Perceiving and reconstructing 3D scene geometry from visual inputs is crucial for autonomous driving. However, there still lacks a driving-targeted dense geometry perception model that can adapt to different scenarios and camera configurations. To bridge this gap, we propose a Driving Visual Geometr
Self-supervised learning has made substantial strides in image processing, while visual pre-training for autonomous driving is still in its infancy. Existing methods often focus on learning geometric scene information while neglecting texture or treating both aspects separately, hindering comprehens…
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models for autonomous driving often hit a performance plateau during Reinforcement Learning (RL) optimization. This stagnation arises from exploration capabilities constrained by previous Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT), leading to "persistent failures" in long-tail scenari
The safe deployment of autonomous driving (AD) systems is fundamentally hindered by the long-tail problem, where rare yet critical driving scenarios are severely underrepresented in real-world data. Existing solutions including safety-critical scenario generation and closed-loop learning often rely
Although the LiDAR SLAM technique has been already widely deployed on various robots, it may still suffers from degeneracy caused by inadequate constraints in scenes with sparse geometric features. If the degeneracy is not detected and properly processed, the accuracy of localization and mapping wil
Few-shot semantic segmentation (FSS) aims to generate a model for segmenting novel classes using a limited number of annotated samples. Previous FSS methods have shown sensitivity to background noise due to inherent bias, attention bias, and spatial-aware bias. In this study, we propose a Transforme…
Self-supervised point cloud understanding can pre-train the point cloud learning network on a large dataset, which helps boost the performance of fine-tuning on other smaller datasets in downstream tasks. Motivated to design an efficient self-supervised pre-training strategy and capture useful and d
Parameter uncertainties and fluctuated disturbances have brought great difficulties to the smooth and precise control of robot manipulators in some industrial environments. To address these challenges, a robust adaptive sliding mode controller is proposed in this work for accurate control of the rob
High-quality point clouds have practical significance for point-based rendering, semantic understanding, and surface reconstruction. Upsampling sparse, noisy and non-uniform point clouds for a denser and more regular approximation of target objects is a desirable but challenging task. Most existing…
