Accurate calibration and robust localization are fundamental for downstream tasks in spinning actuated LiDAR applications. Existing methods, however, require parameterizing extrinsic parameters based on different mounting configurations, limiting their generalizability. Additionally, spinning actuat
Multimodal learning requires integrating heterogeneous modalities, such as structured records, visual imagery, and temporal signals. It has been revealed that this heterogeneity causes modality encoders to converge at different rates, making the multimodal learning imbalanced. We empirically observe…
The proliferation of low-power intelligent processors with integrated Neural Processing Units (NPUs), called mNPUs, has created new opportunities for on-device generative AI, benefitting end devices like smart wearables and small robots. However, deploying Vision-Language Models (VLMs) on mNPUs is s
In this paper, we present CaveSeg - the first visual learning pipeline for semantic segmentation and scene parsing for AUV navigation inside underwater caves. We address the problem of scarce annotated training data by preparing a comprehensive dataset for semantic segmentation of underwater cave sc…
Despite significant progress in the field it is still challenging to create personalized visual representations that align closely with the desires and preferences of individual users. This process requires users to articulate their ideas in words that are both comprehensible to the models and accur…
This work proposes an incremental Generalized Iterative Closest Point (GICP) based tightly-coupled LiDAR-inertial odometry (LIO), iG-LIO, which integrates the GICP constraints and inertial constraints into a unified estimation framework. iG-LIO uses a voxel-based surface covariance estimator to esti
Temporal Knowledge Graph Completion aims to complete missing entities or relations under temporal constraints. Previous tensor decomposition-based models for TKGC only independently consider the combination of one single relation with one single timestamp, ignoring the global nature of the embedding…
Venipuncture is an indispensable procedure for both diagnosis and treatment. In this paper, unlike existing solutions that fully or partially rely on professional assistance, a compact robotic system integrating both novel hardware and software developments is introduced. The hardware consists of a…
