Risk-Aware Input-Constrained Safe Intercept Guidance Against Multiple Moving Defenders

Praveen Kumar Ranjan, Abhinav Sinha, Yongcan Cao +2

This paper develops a risk-aware guidance law for an attacker to intercept a stationary target in the presence of multiple moving defenders while respecting the control input limit…

Inference-Time Policy Alignment for Fair Reinforcement Learning

Umer Siddique, Peilang Li, Conor Wallace +1

Deep reinforcement learning (RL) agents achieve strong performance by optimizing scalar reward functions. However, once deployed, the policies of these RL agents are often rigid an…

ReCollab: Retrieval-Augmented LLMs for Cooperative Ad-hoc Teammate Modeling

Conor Wallace, Umer Siddique, Yongcan Cao

Ad-hoc teamwork (AHT) requires agents to infer the behavior of previously unseen teammates and adapt their policy accordingly. Conventional approaches often rely on fixed probabili…
