open access: yesMind &Language, EarlyView.
We argue that intentionalist accounts of ostensive‐inferential communication fail to adequately explain the role of external representations in human communication.

CyboRacket: A Perception-to-Action Framework for Humanoid Racket Sports

open access: yesCoRR
Dynamic ball-interaction tasks remain challenging for robots because they require tight perception-action coupling under limited reaction time. This challenge is especially pronounced in humanoid racket sports, where successful interception depends on accurate visual tracking, trajectory prediction, coordinated stepping, and stable whole-body striking.
