A Model for Mediating Multi-Modal Human Intent into Safe Maneuvers for UAVs
Sofia Nelson, Dalal Alrajeh, Pedro Antonio Alarcon Granadeno +1
Direct human interaction with autonomous UAV systems can be enabled through modalities such as speech, gestures, and graphical interfaces. However, interpreting such inputs as dire…
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…
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…
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…
Evaluating Reinforcement Learning Safety and Trustworthiness in Cyber-Physical Systems
Katherine Dearstyne, Pedro, Alarcon Granadeno +2
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) often leverage Reinforcement Learning (RL) techniques to adapt dynamically to changing environments and optimize performance. However, it is challengin…
Psych-Occlusion: Using Visual Psychophysics for Aerial Detection of Occluded Persons during Search and Rescue
Arturo Miguel Russell Bernal, Jane Cleland-Huang, Walter Scheirer
The success of Emergency Response (ER) scenarios, such as search and rescue, is often dependent upon the prompt location of a lost or injured person. With the increasing use of sma…
Towards Engineering Fair and Equitable Software Systems for Managing Low-Altitude Airspace Authorizations
Usman Gohar, Michael C. Hunter, Agnieszka Marczak-Czajka +3
Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) have gained widespread adoption across a diverse range of applications. This has introduced operational complexities within shared airspaces…
HIFuzz: Human Interaction Fuzzing for small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Theodore Chambers, Michael Vierhauser, Ankit Agrawal +5
Small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS) must meet rigorous safety standards when deployed in high-stress emergency response scenarios; however many reported accidents have involved hu…
NOMAD: A Natural, Occluded, Multi-scale Aerial Dataset, for Emergency Response Scenarios
Arturo Miguel Russell Bernal, Walter Scheirer, Jane Cleland-Huang
With the increasing reliance on small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS) for Emergency Response Scenarios, such as Search and Rescue, the integration of computer vision capabilities ha…
