Abstract

How to integrate human factors into the motion planning system is of great significance for improving the acceptance of intelligent vehicles. Decomposing motion into primitives and then accurately and smoothly joining the motion primitives (MPs) is an essential issue in the motion planning system. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to regenerate and join the learned MPs in the library. By applying a representation algorithm based on the modified dynamic movement primitives (DMPs) and singular value decomposition (SVD), our method separates the basic shape parameters and fine-tuning shape parameters from the same type of demonstration trajectories in the MP library. Moreover, we convert the MP joining problem into a re-representation problem and use the characteristics of the proposed representation algorithm to achieve an accurate and smooth transition. This paper demonstrates that the proposed method can effectively reduce the number of shape adjustment parameters when the MPs are regenerated without affecting the accuracy of the representation. Besides, we also present the ability of the proposed method to smooth the velocity jump when the MPs are connected and evaluate its effect on the accuracy of tracking the set target points. The results show that the proposed method can not only improve the adjustment ability of a single MP in response to different motion planning requirements but also meet the basic requirements of MP joining in the generation of MP sequences.

Robotic Tele-Operation for Upper Aerodigestive Tract Microsurgery: System Design and Validation

Upper aerodigestive tract (UADT) treatments frequently employ transoral laser microsurgery (TLM) for procedures such as the removal of tumors or polyps. In TLM, a laser beam is used to cut target tissue, while forceps are employed to grasp, manipulate, and stabilize tissue within the UADT. Although TLM systems may rely on different technologies and interfaces, forceps manipulation is still predominantly performed manually, introducing limitations in ergonomics, precision, and controllability. This paper proposes a novel robotic system for tissue manipulation in UADT procedures, based on a novel end-effector designed for forceps control. The system is integrated within a teleoperation framework that employs a robotic manipulator with a programmed remote center of motion (RCM), enabling precise and constrained instrument motion while improving surgeon ergonomics. The proposed approach is validated through two experimental studies and a dedicated usability evaluation, demonstrating its effectiveness and suitability for UADT surgical applications.

HERMES: A Holistic End-to-End Risk-Aware Multimodal Embodied System with Vision-Language Models for Long-Tail Autonomous Driving

End-to-end autonomous driving models increasingly benefit from large vision-language models for semantic understanding, yet safe and reliable planning under long-tail conditions remains challenging, particularly in mixed-traffic environments involving heterogeneous road users and rare safety-critical interactions. This paper proposes HERMES, a holistic risk-aware end-to-end multimodal driving framework that explicitly incorporates long-tail semantic knowledge into trajectory planning. HERMES employs a foundation-model-assisted annotation pipeline to construct structured Long-Tail Scene Context and Long-Tail Planning Context, capturing hazard-centric scene information, maneuver intent, and risk-aware planning guidance. A Tri-Modal Driving Module then integrates multi-view visual observations, historical ego-motion, and long-tail semantic instructions through intent- and risk-aware conditioning for trajectory generation. Extensive experiments on a large-scale real-world long-tail driving benchmark demonstrate consistent improvements over representative recent baselines in overall planning performance and across diverse safety-critical scenarios. Ablation studies further validate the effectiveness and complementary roles of the major components within HERMES.

EgoPush: Egocentric Multi-Object Rearrangement for Mobile Robots via Constrained Teacher Observability

Humans rearrange objects in cluttered environments using egocentric perception, actively moving to keep task-relevant spatial cues in view. Mobile robots have not matched this: rearrangement is usually built on a global pose estimate or a map, which is exactly what a robot carrying one camera lacks, while pushing keeps changing the scene it would have to be built from. We present EgoPush, which pushes objects into anchor-relative formations from onboard RGB-D alone, with no global localization, external tracking, or map at deployment, and transfers zero-shot to a TurtleBot in controlled and visually cluttered scenes. What makes this learnable turns out to be a property of the teacher rather than of the student: three privileged teachers trained with identical rewards, architecture, and hyperparameters all exceed $98\%$ success, yet their distilled egocentric students reach $0\%$, $54.8\%$, and $87.3\%$, the only variable being the teacher's observation function. EgoPush therefore trains the teacher under egocentric observability constraints, restricting it to visibility-limited cues and revealing target references only when the anchor is centrally visible, so that its supervision is recoverable by a depth-based student distilled online. Making the teacher trainable in the first place needs two further pieces: a role-grouped object-centric interface shared by teacher and student, and stage-wise temporally decayed rewards for long-horizon credit assignment.
