With the growing adoption of large language model agents in persistent real-world roles, they naturally encounter continuous streams of tasks. A key limitation, however, is their failure to learn from the accumulated interaction history,…

Model checking of temporal logics in a well established technique to verify and validate properties of multi-agent systems (MAS). However, practical model checking requires input models of manageable size. In this paper, we extend the model…

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) show promise for autonomous driving, yet their struggle with hallucinations, inefficient reasoning, and limited real-world validation hinders accurate perception and robust step-by-step reasoning. To overcome…

We consider the problem of controlling a heterogeneous multi-agent system required to satisfy temporal logic requirements. Capability Temporal Logic (CaTL) was recently proposed to formalize such specifications for deploying a team of…
