Obstacle avoidance is an essential topic in the field of autonomous drone research. When choosing an avoidance algorithm, many different options are available, each with their advantages and disadvantages. As there is currently no consensus…
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.…
Online Multiple Target Tracking (MTT) is often addressed within the tracking-by-detection paradigm. Detections are previously extracted independently in each frame and then objects trajectories are built by maximizing specifically designed…
Learning motion planners to move robot from one point to another within an obstacle-occupied space in a collision-free manner requires either an extensive amount of data or high-quality demonstrations. This requirement is caused by the fact…
Selection is a fundamental task that is challenging in virtual reality due to issues such as distant and small targets, occlusion, and target-dense environments. Previous research has tackled these challenges through various selection…
This paper investigates non-myopic path planning of mobile sensors for multi-target tracking. Such problem has posed a high computational complexity issue and/or the necessity of high-level decision making. Existing works tackle these…
In this paper, we consider the problem of controlling an underactuated system in unknown, and potentially adversarial environments. The emphasis will be on autonomous aerial vehicles, modelled by Dubins dynamics. The proposed control law is…
This paper addresses the problem of restricted airspace protection from invaders using the cooperative multi-UAV system. The objective is to detect and capture the invaders cooperatively by a team of homogeneous UAVs (called evaders)before…
Mm-wave radars have recently gathered significant attention as a means to track human movement and identify subjects from their gait characteristics. A widely adopted method to perform the identification is the extraction of the…
This paper studies the problem of predicting the distribution over multiple possible future paths of people as they move through various visual scenes. We make two main contributions. The first contribution is a new dataset, created in a…
We consider the problem of using an autonomous agent to persistently monitor a collection of dynamic targets distributed in an environment. We generalize existing work by allowing the agent's dynamics to vary throughout the environment,…
The paper presents a two-stage stochastic program to model a routing problem involving an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) in the context of patrolling missions. In particular, given a set of targets and a set of supplemental targets…
The perimeter defense game has received interest in recent years as a variant of the pursuit-evasion game. A number of previous works have solved this game to obtain the optimal strategies for defender and intruder, but the derived theory…
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…
This paper addresses a two-player target defense game in the $n$-dimensional Euclidean space where an attacker attempts to enter a closed convex target set while a defender strives to capture the attacker beforehand. We provide a complete…
Most of the existing research on pursuit-evasion game (PEG) is conducted in a two-dimensional (2D) environment. In this paper, we investigate the PEG in a 3D space. We extend the Apollonius circle (AC) to the 3D space and introduce its…
This paper solves a path planning problem for a group of gliders. The gliders are tasked with visiting a set of interest points. The gliders have limited range but are able to increase their range by visiting special points called thermals.…
We consider a variant of the target defense problems where a group of defenders are tasked to simultaneously capture an intruder. The intruder's objective is to reach a target without being simultaneously captured by the defender team. Some…
Multi-Agent Combinatorial Path Finding (MCPF) seeks collision-free paths for multiple agents from their initial locations to destinations, visiting a set of intermediate target locations in the middle of the paths, while minimizing the sum…
A fundamental problem for waveform-agile radar systems is that the true environment is unknown, and transmission policies which perform well for a particular tracking instance may be sub-optimal for another. Additionally, there is a limited…
