Diffusion-based action generators are particularly effective for modeling temporally coherent action chunks, but these chunks are typically executed open-loop after inference. This limits responsiveness when objects move, contacts change, or the scene evolves during execution. We propose VLA-Feedback, a two-timescale architecture that combines low-frequency diffusion planning with high-frequency visual feedback. Rather than fully denoising an action chunk before execution, VLA-Feedback retains its final denois…

While high-end AUVs typically rely on expensive sensor suites - such as Doppler Velocity Logs (DVLs) and Ultra-Short Baseline (USBL) systems - this work demonstrates that robust, high-quality navigation is achievable using a sub-$10, 000(USD) platform equipped only with inexpensive consumer-grade sensors. By leveraging a similarly priced, open-source AUV, we evaluate the performance of stereo cameras, Micro-electromechanical System (MEMS)-based IMUs, and depth se…

We formulate graph navigation among temporary obstacles as a partially observable semi-Markov decision process and introduce SPARROW, a belief-space planner built on Partially Observable Monte Carlo Planning (POMCP). SPARROW searches over traversal, observation, and finite-duration waiting actions while maintaining a particle belief over latent obstacle classes and clearance times. Class-conditioned survival models are learned online from both clearance observations and right-censored en…

Recently, scanning radars have also been shown capable of generating per-azimuth Doppler velocity. In this paper, we investigate whether these Doppler velocity measurements improve spinning radar vehicle detection and tracking performance. For detection, we estimate the ego motion and use it to undo the Doppler range distortion of the radar image before passing it to a network. For tracking, we propose a new way to estimate a per-vehicle velocity and use it as a prior for the tracker's motion model. Since D…

Conventional geometry-based terrain assessment is fast to compute but often overly conservative in unstructured environments. We present PIVOT: a Physically Informed Vision-Language Off-Road Traversability navigation system that augments conventional geometry-based planning with vision-language-model (VLM)-based semantic reasoning for field robots. To physically ground this assessment, we quantify how strongly the VLM's predicted traversal energy cost, robot vibration, and wheel slip correlate with real-world measurements and introduce a unified…

Existing tactile-enhanced VLA methods improve physical grounding using observed tactile feedback, but most remain largely reactive rather than explicitly modeling how contact may evolve. Therefore, we propose ForeTac-VLA, a forecasting-based tactile-vision-language fusion model that predicts future tactile states to guide action generation. Specifically, ForeTac-VLA encodes recent tactile observations into temporal representations and integrates them with v…

A sealed object, for example, may reveal little about its center of mass (COM) or internal contents until it is lifted, shaken, or otherwise dynamically perturbed. This study shows that such interactions can enable a new modality of robotic perception and learning, in which interaction-induced dynamic responses are used to infer object physics that is inaccessible to conventional sensing. We implement this idea using an origami-inspired soft robotic arm that functions as a physical reservoir computer. After grasping an object, the arm is excited by a fixed shaking input at its base, and the resulting ringdown response is recorded thr…

To address this, we present AeRove, a compact bimodal aerial-terrestrial robot. AeRove uses its propeller guards as wheels to roll along pipes and employs a spring-loaded bistable mechanism to reconfigure between ground and flight modes in 200 ms without continuous actuator power to maintain either state. The converging propeller-guard geometry also improves measured thrust efficiency. By reserving flight for obstacle hopping and using ground rolling for continuous traversal, current draw is reduced 14x compared to continuous flight (0…

Offline target-region DINOv2 correspondences define a signed four-dimensional servo coordinate for translation, scale, and in-plane rotation. Stage 1 aligns action-conditioned latent transitions with this coordinate; Stage 2 freezes the world model and trains a reactive joint-velocity policy with action imitation, consequence supervision, and short imagined rollouts that favor error contraction.

Event cameras are attracting increasing interest and adoption in robotics; however, dealing with viewpoint variance is an under-investigated problem in existing event-based localizers. In addition, event-based datasets that emphasize viewpoint variance for challenging localization situations are scarce. Here, we introduce an event-based visual place recognition (VPR) system that performs robustly under viewpoint changes. We converted five large-scale geo-tagged datasets, conventionally used to train frame-based localization systems, into synthetic event streams using Image-to-Event (I2E) c…

A role-preserving history keeps the concurrent responsibilities of both hands, and a marked temporal point process assigns each observed transition a semantic and temporal surprisal. A supervised evidence head and a two-state filter convert these surprisals into per-hand anomaly posteriors. A recovery-aware protocol on predicted events and participant-disjoint folds reports the recovery false-positive rate at an…

Onomatopoeia in Manga specifically appeals to the audience with its unique visual styles, which convey sound, motion, and emotion. Visual onomatopoeia translation requires the clean replacement of Japanese onomatopoeia with onomatopoeia in the other language while preserving their visual style. Existing approaches often produce residual artifacts or style inconsistency when removing the Japanese onomatopoeia and rendering stylized English onomatopoeia. To approach these problems, we present OnomatoBridge, a filtering pipeline for visual onomatopoeia translation. We evaluate OnomatoBridge from Japanese to English on the Manga109 o…

Existing methods employ geometric priors, adaptive optimization, or density-control strategies to improve 4D Gaussian modeling under sparse observations. However, they cannot fundamentally resolve the ill-posed problem caused by insufficient observations and missing scene information. Moreover, sparse-view 4D Gaussian Splatting (4DGS) often suffers from poor geometric initialization: with only a few input views, COLMAP typically reconstructs sparse and incomplete point clouds, leaving large scene regions without sufficient Gaussian support and making them difficult to recover through subsequent optimization. To address these li…

Relief, normal, gradient, curvature, and ordinal terms constrain complementary aspects of terrain structure, while a positive-affine-invariant image comparison constrains rendered appearance.

Post-hoc merging offers a practical route to efficient VDR by reducing this cost without retraining the retriever, but its uniform reconstruction objectives are poorly aligned with the sparse, non-uniform patch usage induced by late-interaction retrieval. Under aggressive compression, this misalignment can preserve rarely used patches while concentrating retrieval activity on too few retained representatives. To address this misalignment, we propose Marginal-Guided Compression with Optimal…

We study fresco-fragment style classification using a progressive transformer-based framework. Starting from a ViT-B/16 baseline, we introduce foreground-guided masking to suppress background-only tokens, inpainting-based geometric regularisation to align irregular fragment supports with the ViT patch grid, and a supervised contrastive objective that operates on predictive distribu…

This study developed an image-based approach using contrast panel features and machine learning to estimate PM10 concentrations in a commercial cattle feedlot, where hourly average PM10 ranged from 250 to 1,000 ug/m^-3 and instantaneous concentrations reached 5,000 to 20,000 ug/m^-3.

To our knowledge it is the first grammaticality evaluation for Tatar language models of any kind, since even the 101-language MultiBLiMP does not include Tatar. TatBLiMP covers 16 morphosyntactic phenomena in 1248 sentence pairs. Each pair differs by a single morpheme, one grammatical and one ungrammatical. A model passes a pair when it assigns higher probability to the grammatical member. Scoring compares probabilities the model already assigns, so the benchmark needs no text generation and no parser, and it runs on base models and on mid-training checkpoints. TatBLi…

We compare standard CoT, the more general learner that reads the full trace, with recursive language models, which restricts itself by solving each subtask in an isolated context. In-distribution, this generality comes for free: CoT can efficiently simulate the recursive rule, so the IID generalization guarantee changes only by a constant factor, and recursion does not offer much. But out of domain, CoT can fit training by relying on context outside the current subtask, i.e. a shortcut that breaks once those tokens change; recursive context isolation rules out this failure mode. Even though CoT's class still covers the recursive rule, simplici…

We propose Reviser, a decoder-only Transformer that generates a response as a sequence of cursor-relative actions on a mutable canvas. At each step, Reviser predicts exactly one action token: INSERT(token), MOVE($\Delta$), or STOP, and is autoregressive over edit-history actions rather than final text order. This design enables genuinely non-monotonic generation while preserving a simple next-action interface. On a continuation benchmark, Reviser is strongly preferred to SEDD and MDLM in our arena evaluat…
