Robust Global-Local Behavior Arbitration via Continuous Command Fusion Under LiDAR Errors
Modular autonomous driving systems must coordinate global progress objectives with local safety-driven reactions under imperfect sensing and strict real-time constraints. This paper presents a ROS2-native arbitration module that continuously fuses the outputs of two unchanged and interpretable controllers: a global reference-tracking controller based on Pure Pursuit and a reactive LiDAR-based Gap Follow controller. At each control step, both controllers propose Ackermann commands, and a PPO-trained policy predicts a continuous gate from a compact feature observation to produce a single fused drive command, augmented with practical safety checks. For comparison under identical ROS topic inputs and control rate, we implement a lightweight sampling-based predictive baseline. Robustness is evaluated using a ROS2 impairment protocol that injects LiDAR noise, delay, and dropout, and additionally sweeps forward-cone false short-range outliers. In a repeatable close-proximity passing scenario, we report safe success and failure rates together with per-step end-to-end controller runtime as sensing stress increases. The study is intended as a command-level robustness evaluation in a modular ROS2 setting, not as a replacement for planning-level interaction reasoning.

The Irrational Machine: Neurosis and the Limits of Algorithmic Safety
We present a framework for characterizing neurosis in embodied AI: behaviors that are internally coherent yet misaligned with reality, arising from interactions among planning, uncertainty handling, and aversive memory. …
End-to-end Alexa Device Arbitration
We introduce a variant of the speaker localization problem, which we call device arbitration. In the device arbitration problem, a user utters a keyword that is detected by multiple distributed microphone arrays (smart h…
Insect-inspired modular architectures as inductive biases for reinforcement learning
Most reinforcement-learning (RL) controllers used in continuous control are architecturally centralized: observations are compressed into a single latent state from which both value estimates and actions are produced. Bi…

Interacting individuals in complex systems often give rise to coherent motion exhibiting coordinated global structures. Such phenomena are ubiquitously observed in nature, from cell migration, bacterial swarms, animal an…
An Arbitration Control for an Ensemble of Diversified DQN variants in Continual Reinforcement Learning
Deep reinforcement learning (RL) models, despite their efficiency in learning an optimal policy in static environments, easily loses previously learned knowledge (i.e., catastrophic forgetting). It leads RL models to poo…
