This paper studies a 3D multiplayer reach-avoid differential game with a goal region and a play region. Multiple pursuers defend the goal region by consecutively capturing multiple evaders in the play region. The players have heterogeneous…

We consider a problem of cooperative evasion between a single pursuer and multiple evaders in which the evaders are constrained to move in the positive Y direction. The evaders are slower than the vehicle and can choose their speeds from a…

This paper studies a multiplayer reach-avoid differential game in the presence of general polygonal obstacles that block the players' motions. The pursuers cooperate to protect a convex region from the evaders who try to reach the region.…

The pursuit-evasion problem is widespread in nature, engineering, and societal applications. It is commonly observed in nature that predators often exhibit faster speeds than their prey but have less agile maneuverability. Over millions of…

We consider a game played between a hider, who hides a static object in one of several possible positions in a bounded planar region, and a searcher, who wishes to reach the object by querying sensors placed in the plane. The searcher is a…

In ground-view object change detection, the recently emerging mapless navigation has great potential to navigate a robot to objects distantly detected (e.g., books, cups, clothes) and acquire high-resolution object images, to identify their…

Physical adversarial attacks are increasingly studied in settings that resemble deployed surveillance systems rather than isolated image benchmarks. In these settings, person detection, multi-object tracking, visible--infrared sensing, and…

A planar herding problem is considered, where a superior pursuer herds a flock of non-cooperative, inferior evaders around a predefined target point. An inverse square law of repulsion is assumed between the pursuer and each evader. Two…

We consider a task of surveillance-evading path-planning in a continuous setting. An Evader strives to escape from a 2D domain while minimizing the risk of detection (and immediate capture). The probability of detection is path-dependent…

We model and analyze a herding problem, where the drivers try to steer the evaders' trajectories while the evaders always move away from the drivers. This problem is motivated by the guidance-by-repulsion model [Escobedo, R., Iba\~nez, A.…

We consider a variant of pursuit-evasion games where a single defender is tasked to defend a static target from a sequence of periodically arriving intruders. The intruders' objective is to breach the boundary of a circular target without…

This paper presents a novel control strategy to herd groups of non-cooperative evaders by means of a team of robotic herders. In herding problems, the motion of the evaders is typically determined by strongly nonlinear and heterogeneous…

Autonomous robot person-following (RPF) systems are crucial for personal assistance and security but suffer from target loss due to occlusions in dynamic, unknown environments. Current methods rely on pre-built maps and assume static…

It is of great challenge, though promising, to coordinate collective robots for hunting an evader in a decentralized manner purely in light of local observations. In this paper, this challenge is addressed by a novel hybrid cooperative…

Mobile robots in unstructured, mapless environments must rely on an obstacle avoidance module to navigate safely. The standard avoidance techniques estimate the locations of obstacles with respect to the robot but are unaware of the…

We present a guidance by repulsion model based on a driver-evader interaction where the driver, assumed to be faster than the evader, follows the evader but cannot be arbitrarily close to it, and the evader tries to move away from the…

Active recognition enables robots to intelligently explore novel observations, thereby acquiring more information while circumventing undesired viewing conditions. Recent approaches favor learning policies from simulated or collected data,…

Autonomous robots enjoy a wide popularity nowadays and have been applied in many applications, such as home security, entertainment, delivery, navigation and guidance. It is vital to robots to track objects accurately in these applications,…

There are few industries which use manually controlled robots for carrying material and this cannot be used all the time in all the places. So, it is very tranquil to have robots which can follow a specific human by following the unique…

Balancing safety and efficiency when planning in crowded scenarios with uncertain dynamics is challenging where it is imperative to accomplish the robot's mission without incurring any safety violations. Typically, chance constraints are…
