Embodied AI is a crucial frontier in robotics, capable of planning and executing action sequences for robots to accomplish long-horizon tasks physical environments. In this work, we introduce EmbodiedGPT, an end-to-end multi-modal foundation model embodied AI, empowering agents with understanding execution capabilities. To achieve this, have made the following efforts: (i) We craft large-scale dataset, termed EgoCOT. The dataset consists carefully selected videos from Ego4D along...
Quantile regression is increasingly encountered in modern big data applications due to its robustness and flexibility. We consider the scenario of learning conditional quantiles a specific target population when available may go beyond be supplemented from other sources that possibly share similarities with target. A crucial question how properly distinguish use useful information improve quantile estimation inference at develop transfer methods for high-dimensional by detecting informative...

Wheelchair-mounted robotic manipulators have the potential to help elderly and individuals living with disabilities carry out their activities of daily (ADLs) independently. Robotics researchers focus on assistive tasks from perspective various control schemes motion types, whereas, health research focuses clinical assessment rehabilitation, arguably leaving important differences between two domains. In particular, there been many studies which are relevant functional independence, but...

Voltage sags are a serious problem within power supplies, which pose threats to both residential electricity and industrial manufacturing. Since any one sag may be recorded by multiple monitoring devices from different substations, the issue of redundant information in data arises.
