Feedback Dominance Analysis for Pursuit-Evasion Games on Graphs
Yue Guan, Daigo Shishika, Dipankar Maity +2
This work identifies the dominance regions for discrete, simultaneous-move pursuit-evasion games on graphs. Existing geometric approaches provide efficient characterizations of win…
Game-Theory-Assisted Reinforcement Learning for Border Defense: Early Termination based on Analytical Solutions
Goutam Das, Michael Dorothy, Kyle Volle +1
Game theory provides the gold standard for analyzing adversarial engagements, offering strong optimality guarantees. However, these guarantees often become brittle when assumptions…
Target Defense Using a Turret and Mobile Defender Team
Alexander Von Moll, Dipankar Maity, Meir Pachter +2
A scenario is considered wherein a stationary, turn constrained agent (Turret) and a mobile agent (Defender) cooperate to protect the former from an adversarial mobile agent (Attac…
Deceptive Path Planning: A Bayesian Game Approach
Violetta Rostobaya, James Berneburg, Yue Guan +2
This paper investigates how an autonomous agent can transmit information through its motion in an adversarial setting. We consider scenarios where an agent must reach its goal whil…
Heterogeneous Roles against Assignment Based Policies in Two vs Two Target Defense Game
Goutam Das, Violetta Rostobaya, James Berneburg +3
In this paper, we consider a target defense game in which the attacker team seeks to reach a high-value target while the defender team seeks to prevent that by capturing them away…
Deception in Differential Games: Information Limiting Strategy to Induce Dilemma
Daigo Shishika, Alexander Von Moll, Dipankar Maity +1
Can deception exist in differential games? We provide a case study for a Turret-Attacker differential game, where two Attackers seek to score points by reaching a target region whi…
Optimal Evasion from a Sensing-Limited Pursuer
Dipankar Maity, Alexander Von Moll, Daigo Shishika +1
This paper investigates a partial-information pursuit evasion game in which the Pursuer has a limited-range sensor to detect the Evader. Given a fixed final time, we derive the opt…
Defending a Static Target Point with a Slow Defender
Goutam Das, Michael Dorothy, Zachary I. Bell +1
This paper studies a target-defense game played between a slow defender and a fast attacker. The attacker wins the game if it reaches the target while avoiding the defender's captu…
The Eater and the Mover Game
Violetta Rostobaya, Yue Guan, James Berneburg +2
This paper studies the idea of ``deception by motion'' through a two-player dynamic game played between a Mover who must retrieve resources at a goal location, and an Eater who can…
Dynamic Adversarial Resource Allocation: the dDAB Game
Yue Guan, Daigo Shishika, Jason R. Marden +3
This work introduces the dynamic Defender-Attacker Blotto (dDAB) game, extending the classical static Blotto game to a dynamic resource allocation setting over graphs. In the dDAB…
Target Defense against Sequentially Arriving Intruders
Arman Pourghorban, Michael Dorothy, Daigo Shishika +2
We consider a variant of the target defense problem where a single defender is tasked to capture a sequence of incoming intruders. The intruders' objective is to breach the target…
A Constraint-Driven Approach to Line Flocking: The V Formation as an Energy-Saving Strategy
Logan E. Beaver, Christopher Kroninger, Michael Dorothy +1
The study of robotic flocking has received significant attention in the past twenty years. In this article, we present a constraint-driven control algorithm that minimizes the ener…
Guarding a Non-Maneuverable Translating Line with an Attached Defender
Goutam Das, Michael Dorothy, Zachary I. Bell +1
In this paper we consider a target-guarding differential game where the defender must protect a linearly translating line-segment by intercepting an attacker who tries to reach it.…
Path Defense in Dynamic Defender-Attacker Blotto Games (dDAB) with Limited Information
Austin K. Chen, Bryce L. Ferguson, Daigo Shishika +4
We consider a path guarding problem in dynamic Defender-Attacker Blotto games (dDAB), where a team of robots must defend a path in a graph against adversarial agents. Multi-robot s…
Strategic Maneuver and Disruption with Reinforcement Learning Approaches for Multi-Agent Coordination
Derrik E. Asher, Anjon Basak, Rolando Fernandez +9
Reinforcement learning (RL) approaches can illuminate emergent behaviors that facilitate coordination across teams of agents as part of a multi-agent system (MAS), which can provid…
Dynamic Defender-Attacker Blotto Game
Daigo Shishika, Yue Guan, Michael Dorothy +1
This work studies a dynamic, adversarial resource allocation problem in environments modeled as graphs. A blue team of defender robots are deployed in the environment to protect th…
One Apollonius Circle is Enough for Many Pursuit-Evasion Games
Michael Dorothy, Dipankar Maity, Daigo Shishika +1
This paper investigates obstacle-free simple motion pursuit-evasion problems where the pursuer is faster and game termination is point capture. It is well known that the interior o…
Survey of Recent Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning Algorithms Utilizing Centralized Training
Piyush K. Sharma, Rolando Fernandez, Erin Zaroukian +3
Much work has been dedicated to the exploration of Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) paradigms implementing a centralized learning with decentralized execution (CLDE) appro…
Energy-Optimal Motion Planning for Agents: Barycentric Motion and Collision Avoidance Constraints
Logan E. Beaver, Michael Dorothy, Christopher Kroninger +1
As robotic swarm systems emerge, it is increasingly important to provide strong guarantees on energy consumption and safety to maximize system performance. One approach to achieve…
Neurobiologically Inspired Control of Engineered Flapping Flight
Soon-Jo Chung, Michael Dorothy
This article presents a new control approach and a dynamic model for engineered flapping flight with many interacting degrees of freedom. This paper explores the applications of ne…
