Marine robotic platforms support various applications, including marine exploration, underwater infrastructure inspection, and ocean environment monitoring. While reliable perception systems enable robots to sense their surroundings, detect objects, and navigate complex underwater terrains independently, developing these systems presents unique difficulties compared to their terrestrial counterparts. Collecting real-world underwater data requires complex hardware, controlled experimental setups,…

Robots are increasingly being developed for home environments, specifically to enable them to perform daily activities like cooking. These tasks involve a combination of visual interpretation, manipulation, and decision-making across a series of actions. Cooking, in particular, is complex for robots due to the diversity in utensils, varying visual perspectives, and frequent omissions of intermediate…

AI has advanced in language processing, mathematics, and code generation, but extending these capabilities to physical environments remains challenging. Physical AI seeks to close this gap by developing systems that perceive, understand, and act in dynamic, real-world settings. Unlike conventional AI that processes text or symbols, Physical AI engages with sensory inputs, especially video, and…
