Interpretable Fuzzy Inference for UAV Target Tracking Using Bounding-Box Geometry

arXiv:2608. 04121v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-based guidance of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) toward unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) supports cooperative aerial--ground robotics, but reliable continuous yaw estimation from onboard vision remains challenging because of sensing uncertainty, limited computation, and the need for interpretable control.

Temporal Context Awareness: A Defense Framework Against Multi-turn Manipulation Attacks on Large Language Models

arXiv:2503. 15560v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly vulnerable to sophisticated multi-turn manipulation attacks, where adversaries strategically build context through seemingly benign conversational turns to circumvent safety measures and elicit harmful or unauthorized responses.

Imitation Learning from Human Motion Alone Does Not Guarantee Biomechanically Plausible Gait Kinetics

arXiv:2603. 12408v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Motion imitation learning (IL) is increasingly used in robotics and human gait modeling, yet its ability to recover biomechanically consistent joint moments without explicit kinetic information remains unclear.
