GenPose: Generative Category-level Object Pose Estimation via Diffusion Models
Object pose estimation plays a vital role in embodied AI and computer vision,
enabling intelligent agents to comprehend and interact with their surroundings.
Despite the practicality of category-level pose estimation, current approaches
encounter challenges with partially observed point clouds, known as the
multihypothesis issue. In this study, we propose a novel solution by reframing
categorylevel object pose estimation as conditional generative modeling,
departing from traditional point-to-point regression. Leveraging score-based
diffusion models, we estimate object poses by sampling candidates from the
diffusion model and aggregating them through a two-step process: filtering out
outliers via likelihood estimation and subsequently mean-pooling the remaining
candidates. To avoid the costly integration process when estimating the
likelihood, we introduce an alternative method that trains an energy-based
model from the original score-based model, enabling end-to-end likelihood
estimation. Our approach achieves state-of-the-art performance on the REAL275
dataset, surpassing 50% and 60% on strict 5d2cm and 5d5cm metrics,
respectively. Furthermore, our method demonstrates strong generalizability to
novel categories sharing similar symmetric properties without fine-tuning and
can readily adapt to object pose tracking tasks, yielding comparable results to
the current state-of-the-art baselines
Spatial-temporal Transformers for EEG Emotion Recognition
Electroencephalography (EEG) is a popular and effective tool for emotion
recognition. However, the propagation mechanisms of EEG in the human brain and
its intrinsic correlation with emotions are still obscure to researchers. This
work proposes four variant transformer frameworks~(spatial attention, temporal
attention, sequential spatial-temporal attention and simultaneous
spatial-temporal attention) for EEG emotion recognition to explore the
relationship between emotion and spatial-temporal EEG features. Specifically,
spatial attention and temporal attention are to learn the topological structure
information and time-varying EEG characteristics for emotion recognition
respectively. Sequential spatial-temporal attention does the spatial attention
within a one-second segment and temporal attention within one sample
sequentially to explore the influence degree of emotional stimulation on EEG
signals of diverse EEG electrodes in the same temporal segment. The
simultaneous spatial-temporal attention, whose spatial and temporal attention
are performed simultaneously, is used to model the relationship between
different spatial features in different time segments. The experimental results
demonstrate that simultaneous spatial-temporal attention leads to the best
emotion recognition accuracy among the design choices, indicating modeling the
correlation of spatial and temporal features of EEG signals is significant to
emotion recognition

robots to interact with the world
Preparation of concrete specimen for internal sulfate attack analysis using electron backscatter diffraction
Concrete cores were obtained from houses in eastern Connecticut, USA, that had varying degrees of crumbling foundations and wall cracking. Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) was used simultaneously with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy to investigate the degradation of these samples. This combination allowed the precise correlation of elemental composition with mineral crystallography phase mapping. EBSD examination showed the presence of pyrrhotite, pyrite, and marcasite phases in some of the samples, whereas internal sulfate attack (ISA) is triggered by the release of sulfates through the oxidation of such iron sulfides. Secondary expansion products from ISA are associated with foundation cracking, wall bulging, and drastically decreased structural stability. The main contribution of this study is therefore an automated procedure for preparation of concrete samples and analysis of aggregates using EBSD
GraspGF: Learning Score-based Grasping Primitive for Human-assisting Dexterous Grasping
The use of anthropomorphic robotic hands for assisting individuals in
situations where human hands may be unavailable or unsuitable has gained
significant importance. In this paper, we propose a novel task called
human-assisting dexterous grasping that aims to train a policy for controlling
a robotic hand's fingers to assist users in grasping objects. Unlike
conventional dexterous grasping, this task presents a more complex challenge as
the policy needs to adapt to diverse user intentions, in addition to the
object's geometry. We address this challenge by proposing an approach
consisting of two sub-modules: a hand-object-conditional grasping primitive
called Grasping Gradient Field~(GraspGF), and a history-conditional residual
policy. GraspGF learns `how' to grasp by estimating the gradient from a success
grasping example set, while the residual policy determines `when' and at what
speed the grasping action should be executed based on the trajectory history.
Experimental results demonstrate the superiority of our proposed method
compared to baselines, highlighting the user-awareness and practicality in
real-world applications. The codes and demonstrations can be viewed at
