arXiv:2607.06896v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Robust dynamic object detection and tracking are essential for enabling robots to operate safely and effectively alongside humans in complex environments such as construction sites. While LiDAR-based SLAM and occupancy grid methods offer viable solutions for detecting and tracking motion, many state-of-the-art 3D vision approaches rely heavily on pre-trained neural networks and require additional post-processing to identify moving objects. Sensor f...
arXiv:2607.06763v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Speculative decoding greatly increases the interactivity of autoregressive language models by trading off computation for extra tokens generated in a single forward pass. Factorized draft models are especially efficient because they predict future-token marginals in parallel, but their independence assumption causes acceptance rates to degrade sharply as the speculative budget grows. We analyze this limitation and introduce Weaver, a lightweight au...
arXiv:2607.06590v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Preserving and revitalising traditional textiles such as Ulos, a cultural heritage of the Batak ethnic group in North Sumatra, Indonesia, requires balancing fidelity to tradition with innovative approaches that meet contemporary design demands. Traditional Ulos weaving faces two key limitations: a narrow range of motifs and a time-intensive design process. This study presents a generative AI framework that fine-tunes two pretrained latent diffusion...
arXiv:2607.06655v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this report, we present Pelican-VLA 0.5, a unified VLA model that integrates vision-language understanding, future-frame generation, and action prediction within a single architecture. Pelican-VLA 0.5 achieves attention-level generalization: without object annotations, segmentation masks, attention supervision, or task-specific fine-tuning, its action pathway already focuses on the instruction-relevant object and contact region. This behavior pe...
arXiv:2607.06585v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Plant diseases, resulting from both biotic and abiotic stresses, cause an estimated 20-40% loss in global agricultural yield annually, resulting in economic damages exceeding USD 220 billion. Accurate and scalable stress quantification is essential for precision agriculture, yet traditional manual assessments are labour-intensive and subjective. This paper proposes a unified deep learning pipeline integrating semantic segmentation, regression-based...
arXiv:2607.06592v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Object detectors have many applications in safety-critical systems, but they are known to be sensitive to worst-case perturbations such as adversarial attacks, which limits their applicability in real-world scenarios. Compared with classification, adversarial robustness for object detection has received less attention, and existing methods are often tied to adversarial training, whose performance may not transfer across attacks, perturbation budg...
arXiv:2607.06948v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The accuracy of existing leaf-wood segmentation methods for tree point clouds varies across forest types and sites. Self-supervised learning (SSL) on point clouds has improved the generalization of deep learning models for forestry point cloud tasks, including biomass regression and individual tree segmentation, but its applicability to leaf-wood segmentation remains untested. In this study, we pretrained Point-M2AE, a widely used SSL architecture ...
arXiv:2607.06691v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Human-human collaboration is a fundamental aspect of everyday life, essential to success in a wide range of goal-directed activities from household tasks to professional teamwork. While much research has focused on modeling coordination and task execution, the cognitive processes that support such collaboration, particularly Theory of Mind (the ability to infer the mental states of others), remain difficult to study in natural settings. To address ...
arXiv:2607.07357v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Effective social robot navigation requires sensitivity to human behavior, often revealed through subtle skeletal cues like gait and orientation. We present Human-Aware Implicit Social Robot Navigation (HumAIN), a novel framework that fuses implicit social cues directly into the planning loop via knowledge distillation. We first employ a transformer-based teacher model that fuses rich multi-modal inputs, including historic images, skeletal keypoints...
arXiv:2607.07253v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Objective: To evaluate robotic controller interfaces for interventional neuroradiology procedures in-vitro incorporating a force-sensing platform to assess safety. Methods: A custom endovascular robot, device-mimicking controller, and sensorized neurovascular phantom were developed. Ten interventional neuroradiologists (4 novices, 6 experts) performed simulated navigations using four control modalities: device-mimicking controllers with and without...
arXiv:2607.06603v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The notion of algorithmic fairness has been actively explored from various aspects of fairness, such as counterfactual fairness (CF) and group fairness (GF). However, the exact relationship between CF and GF remains to be unclear, especially in image classification tasks; the reason is because we often cannot collect counterfactual samples regarding a sensitive attribute, essential for evaluating CF, from the existing images (\eg, a photo of the sa...
