| 2025 | RMP-YOLO: A Robust Motion Predictor for Partially Observable Scenarios Even if You Only Look OnceabstractWe introduce RMP-YOLO, a unified framework designed to provide robust motion predictions even with incomplete input data. Our key insight stems from the observation that complete and reliable historical trajectory data plays a pivotal role in ensuring accurate motion prediction. Therefore, we propose a new paradigm that prioritizes the reconstruction of intact historical trajectories before feeding them into the prediction modules. Our approach introduces a novel scene tokenization module to enhance the extraction and fusion of spatial and temporal features. Following this, our proposed recovery module reconstructs agents' incomplete historical trajectories by leveraging local map topology and interactions with nearby agents. The reconstructed, clean historical data is then integrated into the downstream prediction modules. Our framework is able to effectively handle missing data of varying lengths and remains robust against observation noise while maintaining high prediction accuracy. Furthermore, our recovery module is compatible with existing prediction models, ensuring seamless integration. Extensive experiments validate the effectiveness of our approach, and deployment in real-world autonomous vehicles confirms its practical utility. In the 2024 Waymo Motion Prediction Competition, our method, RMP-YOLO, achieves state-of-the-art performance, securing third place. Our code is open-source at https://github.com/ggosjw/RMP-YOLO.

| 2025 | AGI-Elo: How Far Are We From Mastering A Task?abstractAs the field progresses toward Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), there is a pressing need for more comprehensive and insightful evaluation frameworks that go beyond aggregate performance metrics. This paper introduces a unified rating system that jointly models the difficulty of individual test cases and the competency of AI models (or humans) across vision, language, and action domains. Unlike existing metrics that focus solely on models, our approach allows for fine-grained, difficulty-aware evaluations through competitive interactions between models and tasks, capturing both the long-tail distribution of real-world challenges and the competency gap between current models and full task mastery. We validate the generalizability and robustness of our system through extensive experiments on multiple established datasets and models across distinct AGI domains. The resulting rating distributions offer novel perspectives and interpretable insights into task difficulty, model progression, and the outstanding challenges that remain on the path to achieving full AGI task mastery. We have made our code and results publicly available at https://ss47816.github.io/AGI-Elo/. Shuo Sun 0002, Christina E.

| 2024 | 3D Affordance Keypoint Detection for Robotic ManipulationabstractThis paper presents a novel approach for affordance-informed robotic manipulation by introducing 3D keypoints to enhance the understanding of object parts’ functionality. The proposed approach provides direct information about what the potential use of objects is, as well as guidance on where and how a manipulator should engage, whereas conventional methods treat affordance detection as a semantic segmentation task, focusing solely on answering the what question. To address this gap, we propose a Fusion-based Affordance Keypoint Network (FAKP-Net) by introducing 3D keypoint quadruplet that harnesses the synergistic potential of RGB and Depth image to provide information on execution position, direction, and extent. Benchmark testing demonstrates that FAKP-Net outperforms existing models by significant margins in affordance segmentation task and keypoint detection task. Real-world experiments also showcase the reliability of our method in accomplishing manipulation tasks with previously unseen objects. Our source code and video demo will be public.

| 2023 | FISS+: Efficient and Focused Trajectory Generation and Refinement Using Fast Iterative Search and Sampling StrategyabstractTrajectory planning plays a crucial role in autonomous driving systems, as it is tasked to generate feasible trajectories under highly dynamic scenarios within the time constraint. This paper proposes a novel two-stage coarse-to-fine framework for efficient sampling-based trajectory planning. The proposed method is designed to iteratively generate new trajectory samples focused on the low-cost regions in the sampling space. Two trajectory exploration algorithms are well-designed for efficient search in discretized coarse global space and continuous fine local space, respectively. Experimental results on the first-of-its-kind planning benchmark tool CommonRoad show that our method significantly outperforms the baseline methods both in optimality and computational efficiency. Overall, our approach offers a promising solution for efficient and effective trajectory planning in more autonomous vehicle applications.
