Cooperative path planning, a crucial aspect of multi-agent systems research, serves a variety of sectors, including military, agriculture, and industry. Many existing algorithms, however, come with certain limitations, such as simplified kinematic models and inadequate support for multiple group scenarios. Focusing on the planning problem associated with a nonholonomic Ackermann model for Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV), we propose a leaderless, hierarchical Search-Based Cooperative Motion Planning (SCMP) method. The highlevel utilizes a binary conflict search tree to minimize runtime, while the low-level fabricates kinematically feasible, collision-free paths that are shape-constrained. Our algorithm can adapt to scenarios featuring multiple groups with different shapes, outlier agents, and elaborate obstacles. We conduct algorithm comparisons, performance testing, simulation, and real-world testing, verifying the effectiveness and applicability of our algorithm. The implementation of our method will be open-sourced at https://***/WYCUniverStar/SCMP.

Designing modern cyber-Physical systems (CPSs) is posing new challenges to both industrial practitioners and academics. In this context, adopting cutting-edge paradigms, such as Model-Based systems Engineering (MBSE), DevOps, and Artificial Intelligence (AI), can offer new opportunities for improving CPS design automation. While such paradigms are already jointly used in the research community to support system design activities, there is a need to fill the gap between academia and industrial practitioners. Indeed, system specification is still mainly performed manually in many industrial projects. In this paper, we present a collaboration between industrial and academic partners of the AIDOaRt European project towards a model-based approach for CPS engineering applied in one of the project use cases. We identify key challenges and corresponding solutions to enhance the automation of CPS design processes. Notably, we consider a combination of prescriptive modeling, model transformations, model views, modeling process mining, and AI-based modeling recommendations. As an initial evaluation, the proposed approach is applied to a practical industrial case study.

Relative state estimation is crucial for vision-based swarms to estimate and compensate for the unavoidable drift of visual odometry. For autonomous drones equipped with the most compact sensor setting - a stereo camera that provides a limited field of view (FoV), the demand for mutual observation for relative state estimation conflicts with the demand for environment observation. To balance the two demands for FoV-limited swarms by acquiring mutual observations with a safety guarantee, this paper proposes an active localization correction system, which plans camera orientations via a yaw planner during the flight. The yaw planner manages the contradiction by calculating suitable timing and yaw angle commands based on the evaluation of localization uncertainty estimated by the Kalman Filter. Simulation validates the scalability of our algorithm. In real-world experiments, we reduce positioning drift by up to 65% and managed to maintain a given formation in both indoor and outdoor GPS-denied flight, from which the accuracy, efficiency, and robustness of the proposed system are verified.

Monocular visual odometry (MVO) is vital in autonomous navigation and robotics, providing a cost-effective and flexible motion tracking solution, but the inherent scale ambiguity in monocular setups often leads to cumulative errors over time. In this paper, we present BEV-ODOM, a novel MVO framework leveraging the Bird's Eye View (BEV) Representation to address scale drift. Unlike existing approaches, BEVODOM integrates a depth-based perspective-view (PV) to BEV encoder, a correlation feature extraction neck, and a CNNMLP-based decoder, enabling it to estimate motion across three degrees of freedom without the need for depth supervision or complex optimization techniques. Our framework reduces scale drift in long-term sequences and achieves accurate motion estimation across various datasets, including NCLT, Oxford, and KITTI. The results indicate that BEV-ODOM outperforms current MVO methods, demonstrating reduced scale drift and higher accuracy.

Intrusion detection systems (IDSs) are widely used for generating alarms indicating potential network security risks based on network traffic monitoring in industrial controlsystems (ICSs). However, it is a big burden for security analysts to handle numerous alarms in real time. Also, most alarms are falsely triggered by normal operations, which makes the real attack risks hard to find. In this paper, we propose MNSSA, a meso-level network security situation awareness method that conducts graph evolution analysis on the ICS alarms. MNSSA can semi-automatically filter low-risk false alarms in bulk and detect attack events. It can better analyze the network security situation and improve alarm processing efficiency.
