arXiv:2604. 12645v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Although autonomous underwater vehicles promise the capability of marine ecosystem monitoring, their deployment is fundamentally limited by the difficulty of controlling vehicles under highly uncertain and non-stationary underwater dynamics.
The paper introduces IQACO, an implicit Q‑learning‑bootstrapped ant colony optimization algorithm for scheduling maritime moving‑target observations with agile Earth‑observation satellites. IQACO embeds an offline implicit Q‑learning module into the ant colony framework to adaptively adjust pheromone, heuristic, and evaporation parameters based on a compact search‑state representation. Experiments on 14 scenarios show IQACO outperforms conventional ant colony optimization, improving mean observation benefit by 3.40%–9.40%, accelerating convergence, and maintaining stability across different objective‑weight settings.
arXiv:2603. 28385v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Maritime surveillance missions, such as search and rescue and environmental monitoring, rely on the efficient allocation of sensing assets over vast and geometrically complex areas.
arXiv:2606. 27609v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Physical or operational constraints often impose communications limitations on autonomous agents.
arXiv:2608. 14332v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reinforcement learning is promising for autonomous urban driving, but long-horizon goal-directed navigation asks a policy to acquire several competing behaviors at once--reaching a distant goal, tracking a route, avoiding obstacles, obeying signals--and a fixed objective gives no order in which to learn them.
arXiv:2608. 11597v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As smart port infrastructures increasingly rely on autonomous maritime devices enabled by the Internet of Things (IoT), ensuring reliable onboard navigation intelligence has become a critical challenge for safe and scalable operations in congested waterways.
