ComposableNav: Instruction-Following Navigation in Dynamic Environments via Composable Diffusion
This paper considers the problem of enabling robots to navigate dynamic environments while following instructions. The challenge lies in the combinatorial nature of instruction specifications: each instruction can include multiple specifications, and the number of possible specification combinations grows exponentially as the robot's skill set expands. For example, "overtake the pedestrian while staying on the right side of the road" consists of two specifications: "overtake the pedestrian" and…

Two tall buildings rise in the background, one partially obscured and the other featuring a triangular architectural element at its peak. The sky is overcast or foggy, creating a somber, atmospheric tone. The contrast between the natural branches and rigid buildings adds visual tension and depth. 中文替代文…

Ilford HP5 Plus 400 (FF) English Alt Text: A black-and-white photo of a quiet outdoor patio. Several wireframe chairs and a matching table sit on a grassy surface. The furniture is made of thin metal rods forming a mesh pattern, giving it a light, airy appearance. Behind the seating area is a modern building with large glass panels and vertical blinds, reflecting soft light. The composition is minimalistic, with clean lines and a mid-century modern aesthetic. Shadows from the furniture and bui…

Underprepared for Physics: Reframing the narrative on readiness and instruction in calculus-based, introductory physics courses
In the U.S., introductory calculus-based courses often acts as a gatekeeper to STEM degrees. But access to the prerequisite math is far from equal--students from low-income and racially marginalized communities are far less likely to have the chance to take calculus before college. These disparities are then compounded by rigid placement systems that reward procedural fluency in algebra and trigonometry, while overlooking the conceptual quantitative reasoning that physics truly demands. Labelin…

FUJIFILM NEOPAN F (FF) English Alt Text: A close-up black-and-white image shows a weathered padlock securing two metal doors. The padlock is rusted and scratched, locked through thick metal loops. Two wires or cords are also threaded through the shackle, adding extra security or possibly serving another purpose. The background is blurred, suggesting an outdoor setting with faint outlines of buildings and vegetation. The image evokes a sense of age, security, and quiet tension, with the padlock…
FUJIFILM NEOPAN F (FF) English Alt Text: A black-and-white photo captures a solitary pedestrian mid-stride on a gently curving paved road.

The background features a rocky embankment with sparse vegetation and a few small trees. The sky is overcast, casting a soft, diffused light that enhances the quiet, cont…
FUJIFILM NEOPAN F (FF) English Alt Text: A monochrome photo shows a long, tall concrete wall running parallel to a paved sidewalk. A person walks alone in the distance, dwarfed by the imposing structure. The wall has a railing on top, with some plants hanging over. Behind the wall, a tall communication tower rises into the sky. The perspective emphasizes depth and scale, creating a feeling of isolation and urban quiet. The scene is stark and minimal, with strong lines guiding the viewer’s eye.…
FUJIFILM NEOPAN F (FF) English Alt Text: A black-and-white image shows a wide set of stone steps leading to a modern building with tall columns. Several people walk up and down the steps, some alone, others in groups. The building’s facade is smooth and contemporary, suggesting a public or cultural space like a museum. The handrails frame the steps, and the composition captures movement and structure. The monochrome palette adds a timeless, documentary feel, focusing on human activity in an ur…
