해양 환경은 압력, 부식, 낮은 시야, 실패 여유 없음 때문에 자동화가 매우 어렵다. Heyman Tech의 방수형 휴머노이드 손은 이런 극한 환경용 로봇 하드웨어의 가능성을 보여주는 소식으로, 수중/해양 로보틱스 응용에 의미가 있다.

The ocean is one of the hardest places to automate. Pressure. Corrosion. Low visibility. Zero room for failure. Heyman Tech’s waterproof humanoid hand is a small piece of hardware with a very large implication. via @TheHumanoidHub #Robotics

We are headed to #ICRA 2026!

We will be showcasing two of our latest research breakthroughs at the International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) next week.

1️⃣ D-CAT 😼: Decoupled Cross-modal Knowledge Transfer
📍 Track: Interactive Session 6 − Hall C (Poster Session)
📅 Date/Time: Thursday, 15:00-16:30, Paper ThI2I.59
🧑‍🔬 Authors: Leen Daher,* Zhaobo Wang, Malcolm Mielle

Our work on D-CAT solves a major real-world challenge: training a system with rich, multi-modal data (like video, IMU, and audio) but allowing it to operate using only a single sensor during inference.

By enabling cross-modal knowledge transfer, D-CAT reduces hardware redundancy and costs without sacrificing accuracy—even showing up to a 10% F1-score gain in certain scenarios!

Paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2509.09747

* Leen Daher is currently searching for a PhD/job in the EU, and will be presenting in person.

2️⃣ Unpaired Multi-Modal Reconstruction 📸🔥
📍 Track: Workshop Paper - MM-SpatialAI Workshop
📅 Date/Time: June 1st
🧑‍🔬 Authors: Jean Cordonnier, Chenghao Xu, Olga Fink, Malcolm Mielle

We introduces a framework for independent RGB-Thermal Novel View Synthesis reconstruction. We’ve developed a framework combining VGGT, feature matching, and multi-modal 3DGS to accept decoupled RGB/TIR image sets, proving that misalignment between modalities doesn't have to compromise the quality of the reconstruction.
