arXiv:2601.09031v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Humanoid robot manipulation is a crucial research area for executing diverse human-level tasks, involving high-level semantic reasoning and low-level action generation. However, precise scene understanding and sample-efficient learning from human demonstrations remain critical challenges, severely hindering the applicability and generalizability of existing frameworks. This paper presents a novel RGMP-S, Recurrent Geometric-prior Multimodal Policy with Spiking features, facilitating both high-level skill reasoning and data-efficient motion synthesis. To ground high-level reasoning in physical reality, we […]

arXiv:2602.22346v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autonomous mobile service robots, like lawnmowers or cleaning robots, operating in human-populated environments need to reason about local human-human interactions to support safe and socially aware navigation while fulfilling their tasks. For such robots, interaction understanding is not primarily a fine-grained recognition problem, but a perception problem under limited sensing quality and computational resources. Many existing approaches focus on holistic group activity recognition, which often requires complex and large models which may not […]

arXiv:2603.16899v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper introduces Capability-Priced Micro-Markets (CPMM), a micro-economic framework designed to enable robust, scalable, and secure commerce among autonomous AI agents on the agentic web. The framework addresses the fundamental challenge of economic coordination in decentralized agent ecosystems, where entities must transact with minimal human oversight. CPMM synthesizes three key technologies into a unified system: MIT originated, Project NANDA infrastructure for cryptographically verifiable, capability-based security and discovery; the HTTP 402 “Payment Required” status […]

arXiv:2602.06211v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Accurate 3D pose estimation of drones is essential for security and surveillance systems. However, existing methods often rely on prior drone information such as physical sizes or 3D meshes. At the same time, current datasets are small-scale, limited to single models, and collected under constrained environments, which makes reliable validation of generalization difficult. We present DroneKey++, a prior-free framework that jointly performs keypoint detection, drone classification, and 3D pose estimation. The framework employs […]

arXiv:2601.09744v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Industrial IoT platforms in global manufacturing environments generate continuous operational data across production assets, utilities, and connected products. While data ingestion and storage capabilities have matured significantly, enterprises continue to face systemic challenges in governing IoT data at scale. These challenges are not rooted in tooling limitations but in the absence of a governance model that aligns with the realities of distributed operational ownership, heterogeneous source systems, and continuous change at the edge.

arXiv:2602.18527v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Current audio-visual large language models (AV-LLMs) are predominantly restricted to 2D perception, relying on RGB video and monaural audio. This design choice introduces a fundamental dimensionality mismatch that precludes reliable source localization and spatial reasoning in complex 3D environments. We address this limitation by presenting JAEGER, a framework that extends AV-LLMs to 3D space, to enable joint spatial grounding and reasoning through the integration of RGB-D observations and multi-channel first-order ambisonics. A core […]

arXiv:2603.03626v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Low-dimensional structure in real-world data plays an important role in the success of generative models, which motivates diffusion models defined on intrinsic data manifolds. Such models are driven by stochastic differential equations (SDEs) on manifolds, which raises the need for convergence theory of numerical schemes for manifold-valued SDEs. In Euclidean space, the Euler–Maruyama (EM) scheme achieves strong convergence with order $1/2$, but an analogous result for manifold discretizations is less understood in general […]

As deep and machine learning systems grow in scale and are deployed in sensitive, high-stakes environments, the need for reliable and fully reproducible model tuning has never been greater. This paper presents a clear and structured overview of Deterministic Hyper-parameter Optimisation (DHPO), covering four key families of methods: Direct Search, Surrogate-based, Hyper-gradient, and Multi-Fidelity approaches. We frame DHPO within a reproducible bilevel optimisation setting and discuss how each method performs in terms of efficiency, scalability, and practical applicability. […]
