Visual context provides grounding information for multimodal machine translation (MMT). However, previous MMT models and probing studies on visual features suggest that visual information is less explored in MMT as it is often redundant to…
Underwater docking is critical to enable the persistent operation of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs). For this, the AUV must be capable of detecting and localizing the docking station, which is complex due to the highly dynamic…
We present Fast-Slow Transformer for Visually Grounding Speech, or FaST-VGS. FaST-VGS is a Transformer-based model for learning the associations between raw speech waveforms and visual images. The model unifies dual-encoder and…
Vision-Language Models (VLMs) enable multimodal reasoning for robotic perception and interaction, but their deployment in real-world systems remains constrained by latency, limited onboard resources, and privacy risks of cloud offloading.…
Temporal Video Grounding (TVG) aims to localize a moment from an untrimmed video given the language description. Since the annotation of TVG is labor-intensive, TVG under limited supervision has accepted attention in recent years. The great…
Accurate terrain perception is essential for terrain-following flight of agricultural unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), yet remains challenging in real-world farmland due to occlusions, complex terrain geometry, and environmental…
Recently worldwide interest is growing toward commercial, military or scientific Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) and hence there is required to develop their guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) systems. Real USVs are a relatively new…
