NavVerse: Benchmarking Indoor-to-Outdoor Embodied Navigation in Continuous Robot Simulation

Junzhe Wu, Yue Hu, Zeyu Han, Po-Hsun Chang, Yinan Dong, Behrad Rabiei, et al.

Robots deployed in delivery, campus, and emergency-response settings often need to navigate from buildings to streets within a single continuous episode. Existing benchmarks usually evaluate indoor and outdoor navigation separately, and many abstract away robot execution, leaving…

E3DGS: Unified Geometric-Photometric Equivariance for 3D Gaussian Splatting via Color-as-Geometry Embedding

Chankyo Kim, Maani Ghaffari

3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) captures scenes by coupling explicit geometry (position, covariance) with view-dependent photometry (Spherical Harmonics). However, building $\mathrm{SE}(3)$-equivariant architectures on these primitives presents a fundamental representation bottlenec…

Learning Adaptive Solvers for Distributed Factor Graph Optimization on Matrix Lie Groups

Jaeho Shin, Maani Ghaffari, Yulun Tian

Modern robotic perception increasingly involves large-scale geometric optimization problems distributed across multiple robots or sessions. However, existing distributed solvers often depend on brittle hand tuning and primarily target rigid body pose graphs. To address this, we p…
