SSR-ZSON: Zero-Shot Object Navigation Via Spatial-Semantic Relations within a Hierarchical Exploration Framework

ICRA 2026poster

Zero-shot object navigation in unknown environments presents significant challenges, mainly due to two key limitations: insufficient semantic guidance leads to inefficient exploration, while limited spatial memory resulting from environmental structure causes entrapment in local regions. To address …

Vulnerable Agent Identification in Large-Scale Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning

ICML 2026poster

Partial agent failure becomes inevitable when systems scale up, making it crucial to identify the subset of agents whose failure causes worst-case system performance degradations. We study this Vulnerable Agent Identification (VAI) problem in large-scale multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL). We…

Accident Anticipation via Temporal Occurrence Prediction

NeurIPS 2025poster

Accident anticipation aims to predict potential collisions in an online manner, enabling timely alerts to enhance road safety. Existing methods typically predict frame-level risk scores as indicators of hazard. However, these approaches rely on ambiguous binary supervision—labeling all frames in acc…

Empirical Study on Robustness and Resilience in Cooperative Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning

NeurIPS 2025poster

In cooperative Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL), it is a common practice to tune hyperparameters in ideal simulated environments to maximize cooperative performance. However, policies tuned for cooperation often fail to maintain robustness and resilience under real-world uncertainties. Buil…

Unified Planning Framework With Drivable Area Attention Extraction for Autonomous Driving in Urban Scenarios

RA-L 2025

The diversity of urban traffic scenarios poses challenges in stability and generalization for autonomous driving. To tackle this issue, this paper proposes a hierarchical decision-making and planning framework based on reinforcement learning, which employs a unified drivable area cross-attention ext
