- 01arXiv
2610.30197Alpha: Systematic Fault Injection and Robustness Evaluation for LLM-Driven Embodied Manipulation (open paper in a new tab)
Injects sensor lag, grip slip, unreachable targets and planner-output faults into simulation to identify where failures arise.
- 02arXiv
2610.30334MPBRS: Multi-Potential-Based Reward Shaping for Unified Reward Configuration in Humanoid Locomotion (open paper in a new tab)
Tests shared reward structure and weights across nine humanoids, while retaining robot-specific joint metadata and default poses.
- 03arXiv
2610.30607Continuous-Time Motion Planning and Steering with Global Convergence (open paper in a new tab)
Studies continuous-time constraints and convergence toward globally optimal cost as polynomial pieces increase, under stated assumptions.
- 04arXiv
2609.20048Mechanical Precision Weeding with a Quadruped Robot (open paper in a new tab)
The prototype fixes a weeding tool to Spot and adjusts its position through body motion while the feet stay planted. Indoor and outdoor trials evaluate accuracy and working efficiency as a proof of concept.
- 05arXiv
2610.30735When One Step Is Enough: An Empirical Study of Euler Integration in Flow-Matching Policies (open paper in a new tab)
Compares one-step action generation across six flow-matching VLAs, observing similar performance when training and model capacity are sufficient.
- 06arXiv
2606.14089A Modular Dual-Arm Apple Harvesting Robot with Enhanced Field Performance (open paper in a new tab)
Two robot arms cover the upper and lower portions of a tree while sharing a vacuum source. The study evaluates harvesting success and cycle duration in commercial orchards.
- 07arXiv
2610.30988In-Context Learning World Models for Robot Dual-Arm Manipulation of Soft Garment with Partial Observations (open paper in a new tab)
Tests a world model that estimates garment shape and future state from partial observations during bimanual folding.
- 08arXiv
2411.10974CropNav: a Framework for Autonomous Navigation in Real Farms (open paper in a new tab)
CropNav switches between LiDAR crop-row guidance and waypoint tracking. Failure detection and automatic recovery support navigation within and beyond planted rows with fewer human interventions.
