Akule: Fast and Scalable Multi-Robot Motion Planning via Sparse Interaction Diffusion

Manav Vora, Gokul Puthumanaillam, Aditya Penumarti +2

Diffusion models provide expressive trajectory priors for multi-robot motion planning (MRMP), but scaling them to large teams requires coordinating individual motions without expen…

SCoUT: Scalable Communication via Utility-Guided Temporal Grouping in Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning

Manav Vora, Gokul Puthumanaillam, Hiroyasu Tsukamoto +1

Communication can improve coordination in partially observed multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL), but learning \emph{when} and \emph{who} to communicate with requires choosin…

Belief-Conditioned One-Step Diffusion: Real-Time Trajectory Planning with Just-Enough Sensing

Gokul Puthumanaillam, Aditya Penumarti, Manav Vora +5

Robots equipped with rich sensor suites can localize reliably in partially-observable environments, but powering every sensor continuously is wasteful and often infeasible. Belief-…

Virtual Force-Based Routing of Modular Agents on a Graph

Adam Casselman, Manav Vora, Melkior Ornik

Modular vehicles present a novel area of academic and industrial interest in the field of multi-agent systems. Modularity allows vehicles to connect and disconnect with each other…

Motion Planning and Control with Unknown Nonlinear Dynamics through Predicted Reachability

Zhiquan Zhang, Gokul Puthumanaillam, Manav Vora +1

Autonomous motion planning under unknown nonlinear dynamics presents significant challenges. An agent needs to continuously explore the system dynamics to acquire its properties, s…

Capacity-Aware Planning and Scheduling in Budget-Constrained Multi-Agent MDPs: A Meta-RL Approach

Manav Vora, Ilan Shomorony, Melkior Ornik

We study capacity- and budget-constrained multi-agent MDPs (CB-MA-MDPs), a class that captures many maintenance and scheduling tasks in which each agent can irreversibly fail and a…

Solving Truly Massive Budgeted Monotonic POMDPs with Oracle-Guided Meta-Reinforcement Learning

Manav Vora, Jonas Liang, Michael N. Grussing +1

Monotonic Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes (POMDPs), where the system state progressively decreases until a restorative action is performed, can be used to model sequ…

A Moral Imperative: The Need for Continual Superalignment of Large Language Models

Gokul Puthumanaillam, Manav Vora, Pranay Thangeda +1

This paper examines the challenges associated with achieving life-long superalignment in AI systems, particularly large language models (LLMs). Superalignment is a theoretical fram…

ComTraQ-MPC: Meta-Trained DQN-MPC Integration for Trajectory Tracking with Limited Active Localization Updates

Gokul Puthumanaillam, Manav Vora, Melkior Ornik

Optimal decision-making for trajectory tracking in partially observable, stochastic environments where the number of active localization updates -- the process by which the agent o…

Optimizing a Model-Agnostic Measure of Graph Counterdeceptiveness via Reattachment

Anakin Dey, Sam Ruggerio, Manav Vora +1

Recognition of an adversary's objective is a core problem in physical security and cyber defense. Prior work on target recognition focuses on developing optimal inference strategie…
