Multi-agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) holds great potential for robot swarms, but the black-box nature of neural policies complicates strategic analysis, limiting multi-robot applications. Furthermore, complex swarm behaviors can surprisingly emerge from simple rewards without explicit aggregation incentives.
Rubric-based evaluation is a promising approach for assessing open-ended outputs from LLM-based research agents, particularly in paper reproduction, where direct paper-to-repository comparison is prone to hallucination. However, constructing paper-specific rubrics requires substantial expert effort, limiting the scalability of benchmarks such as PaperBench.
This study introduces a unified control framework for fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) fitted with a pan-tilt (PT) camera, intended to perform an end-to-end mission spanning from initial target detection to accurate terminal engagement. The proposed system employs a three-phase strategy: a vision-based target acquisition phase, an NMPC-based tracking phase, and a terminal guidance phase.
Self-evolving agent systems improve by creating, revising, and retiring their own skills, but every such loop rests on a hidden assumption: a reliable evaluation metric already exists. In many real applications it does not.
Reinforcement Learning has revolutionized the landscape of robotic research, allowing robust learning of complex robotic skills in simulation. However, real-world deployment in open-ended environments requires strong safety guarantees to prevent dangerous or harmful behaviors.
AI-enabled systems are seeing increasing deployment across numerous domains, with many being "black boxes" with respect to core functions and capabilities. I.
The paper introduces the Internet of Agentic Things (IoAT), an architectural framework that integrates agentic AI, IoT, cyber-physical systems, Physical AI, edge computing, and digital twins into a unified closed-loop orchestration framework. The proposed architecture consists of cloud, edge/fog, and physical IoT layers connected through autonomous AI agents that perceive, reason, coordinate, and actuate across distributed cyber-physical environments.
Closed-loop wall control learnt by multi-agent reinforcement learning can lower skin-friction drag in turbulent channels, but these gradient-based policies are trained on small periodic boxes and exhibit reduced performance when carried over to a larger domain. We recently showed that such policies are also prone to saturated bang-bang actuations that collapse into standing streamwise waves whose scale is set by the computational box rather than by the near-wall cycle, and proposed architectural fixes that avoid these degeneracies.
OpenClaw has emerged as a leading agent framework for complex task automation, yet it faces insufficient cross-platform GUI interaction support and a well-built self-evolution mechanism. These flaws limit its adaptation to diverse device ecosystems and prevent performance improvements through continuous learning from execution experience.

Reliable reinforcement learning (RL) agents must maintain operational integrity amidst sensor malfunctions, dynamic disturbances, and slow environmental shifts. The detection of out-of-distribution conditions is pivotal to determining when an agent's observations, transitions, or trajectory dynamics deviate from the assumptions underpinning its policy training.
Beyond perception, reasoning is essential in remote sensing for advanced interpretation, inference, and decision-making. Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have enabled tool-augmented agents that leverage external tools to perform complex analytical tasks.
LLM agents act in external environments where each action changes the state that later decisions condition on, and where a single wrong step can waste interaction budget or trigger irreversible side effects long before the final failure is observed. Reliable deployment therefore requires \emph{step-level confidence estimation}: a calibrated probability that each proposed action is productive, available \emph{before} the action is executed.
How can an agent build a structured map of its world from nothing but an ongoing sequence of raw sensory input and its own movements, especially when natural variation means exact sensory patterns rarely repeat? The Clone-Structured Causal Graph algorithm (CSCG), a normative hippocampus model, shows how an interpretable map can be learned from aliased observations.
Filtering noise is a fundamental part of data preparation that enhances image quality for applications such as object segmentation, detection, and recognition. Various noise reduction techniques are proposed in the literature, including the use of median, Gaussian, and bilateral filters.
