A Model for Mediating Multi-Modal Human Intent into Safe Maneuvers for UAVs
Sofia Nelson, Dalal Alrajeh, Pedro Antonio Alarcon Granadeno +1
The paper proposes a model that translates multimodal human inputs (speech, gestures, GUI) into safe UAV maneuvers by treating them as bounded requests and validating them against…
Cognition Envelopes for Bounded Decision Making in Autonomous UAS Operations
Pedro Antonio Alarcon Granadeno, Arturo Miguel Bernal Russell, Sofia Nelson +5
Cyber-physical systems increasingly rely on foundational models, such as Large Language Models (LLMs) and Vision-Language Models (VLMs) to increase autonomy through enhanced percep…
Coverage Path Planning for Holonomic UAVs via Uniaxial-Feasible, Gap-Severity Guided Decomposition
Pedro Antonio Alarcon Granadeno, Jane Cleland-Huang
Modern coverage path planning (CPP) for holonomic UAVs in emergency response must contend with diverse environments where regions of interest (ROIs) often take the form of highly i…
Validating Terrain Models in Digital Twins for Trustworthy sUAS Operations
Arturo Miguel Russell Bernal, Maureen Petterson, Pedro Antonio Alarcon Granadeno +3
With the increasing deployment of small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) in unfamiliar and complex environments, Environmental Digital Twins (EDT) that comprise weather, airspace,…
Cognitive Guardrails for Open-World Decision Making in Autonomous Drone Swarms
Jane Cleland-Huang, Pedro Antonio Alarcon Granadeno, Arturo Miguel Russell Bernal +4
Small Uncrewed Aerial Systems (sUAS) are increasingly deployed as autonomous swarms in search-and-rescue and other disaster-response scenarios. In these settings, they use computer…
Runtime Advocates: A Persona-Driven Framework for Requirements@Runtime Decision Support
Demetrius Hernandez, Jane Cleland-Huang
Complex systems, such as small Uncrewed Aerial Systems (sUAS) swarms dispatched for emergency response, often require dynamic reconfiguration at runtime under the supervision of hu…
