Beyond Fixed Goal Delivery: Online POMDP Planning for Target Interception in Crowds

Himanshu Gupta, Kelvin Aladum, Nisar Ahmed, Bradley Hayes, Zachary Sunberg

Target interception in crowded environments requires reaching a moving objective while navigating among multiple uncertain human agents. Since human navigation intent is not directly observable, the robot must reason over multiple possible future interaction outcomes. We formulat…

Multi-Objective Kinodynamic Motion Planning with Asymptotic Pareto Optimality

Yusif Razzaq, Anne Theurkauf, Nisar Ahmed, Morteza Lahijanian

In this paper, we address the challenge of multi-objective motion planning for systems under kinodynamic constraints. We consider three problem classes: (i) lexicographic optimization, in which objectives are minimized according to a strict priority ordering, (ii) constrained opt…

Unsupervised Detection of Underground Tunnels in Ground-Penetrating Radar Using Depth-Restricted Reconstruction Scoring

Muhammad Junaid, Shoab A. Khan, Nisar Ahmed

Clandestine tunneling beneath oil and gas pipelines enables fuel theft, smuggling, and sabotage, yet conventional monitoring detects damage only after a pipeline has been compromised. Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) can image such tunnels non-invasively, but manual radargram inter…
