We address the problem of optimal evasion in a planar endgame engagement, where a target with bounded lateral acceleration seeks to avoid interception by a missile guided by a linear feedback law. Contrary to existing approaches, that…
A circular pursuit guidance problem involving pursuer-target engagement is studied in this paper using a bifurcation theory based numerical approach. While target is modeled as a point mass moving around in a circle with certain velocity,…
The potential of gaze for hands-free mobile interaction is increasingly evident. While each gaze input technique presents distinct advantages and limitations, a combination can amplify strengths and mitigate challenges. We report on the…
In crowd navigation, the local goal plays a crucial role in trajectory initialization, optimization, and evaluation. Recognizing that when the global goal is distant, the robot's primary objective is avoiding collisions, making it less…
Pursuit-evasion is the problem of capturing mobile targets with one or more pursuers. We use deep reinforcement learning for pursuing an omni-directional target with multiple, homogeneous agents that are subject to unicycle kinematic…
The study and modeling of driver's gaze dynamics is important because, if and how the driver is monitoring the driving environment is vital for driver assistance in manual mode, for take-over requests in highly automated mode and for…
LLM-based multi-agent systems (MAS) show promise on complex tasks but remain prone to coordination failures such as goal drift, error cascades, and misaligned behaviors. We propose Explicit Trait Inference (ETI), a psychologically grounded…
Although large language models (LLMs) have advanced rapidly, robust automation of complex software workflows remains an open problem. In long-horizon settings, agents frequently suffer from cascading errors and environmental stochasticity;…
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 presents a leaderless cooperative guidance strategy for simultaneous time-constrained interception of a stationary target when the interceptors exchange information over switched dynamic graphs. We specifically focus on scenarios…
In this paper, we investigate a pursuit-evasion game in which a mobile observer tries to track a target in an environment containing obstacles. We formulate the game as an optimal control problem with state inequality constraint in a simple…

Robotic navigation concerns the task in which a robot should be able to find a safe and feasible path and traverse between two points in a complex environment. We approach the problem of robotic navigation using reinforcement learning and…
Two mobile agents, starting from different nodes of a network at possibly different times, have to meet at the same node. This problem is known as $\mathit{rendezvous}$. Agents move in synchronous rounds. Each agent has a distinct integer…
In zone-based evacuation planning, the region to evacuate is divided into zones and each zone must be assigned a path to safety and departure times along the path. Zone-based evacuations are highly desirable in practice because they allow…
Underlying relationships among multiagent systems (MAS) in hazardous scenarios can be represented as game-theoretic models. In adversarial environments, the adversaries can be intentional or unintentional based on their needs and…
Designing continuous trajectories whose time-averaged occupancy provably matches a prescribed spatial density (the \emph{ergodic coverage} problem) is central to UAV-assisted data collection and sensing, robotic exploration, and mobile…
Semantic segmentation is a challenging problem due to difficulties in modeling context in complex scenes and class confusions along boundaries. Most literature either focuses on context modeling or boundary refinement, which is less…
