Dual-Stage Safe Herding Framework for Adversarial Attacker in Dynamic Environment
Recent advances in robotics have enabled the widespread deployment of autonomous robotic systems in complex operational environments, presenting both unprecedented opportunities and significant security problems. Traditional shepherding approaches based on fixed formations are often ineffective or risky in urban and obstacle-rich scenarios, especially when facing adversarial agents with unknown and adaptive behaviors. This paper addresses this challenge as an extended herding problem, where defensive robotic systems must safely guide adversarial agents with unknown strategies away from protected areas and into predetermined safe regions, while maintaining collision-free navigation in dynamic environments. We propose a hierarchical hybrid framework based on reach-avoid game theory and local motion planning, incorporating a virtual containment boundary and event-triggered pursuit mechanisms to enable scalable and robust multi-agent coordination. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed approach achieves safe and efficient guidance of adversarial agents to designated regions.

Herding an Adversarial Swarm in Three-dimensional Spaces
This paper presents a defense approach to safeguard a protected area against an attack by a swarm of adversarial agents in three-dimensional (3D) space. We extend our 2D `StringNet Herding' approach, in which a closed fo…
Path Planning for Shepherding a Swarm in a Cluttered Environment using Differential Evolution
Shepherding involves herding a swarm of agents (\emph{sheep}) by another a control agent (\emph{sheepdog}) towards a goal. Multiple approaches have been documented in the literature to model this behaviour. In this paper…
Active Learning for Cascaded Object Detection: Balancing Coverage and Uncertainty in Table Extraction Pipelines
Table extraction from business documents relies on a cascaded pipeline where Table Detection (TD) first localizes tables and Table Structure Recognition (TSR) then recovers their internal layout. Building task-specific t…
