arXiv:2608.00206v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Navigating doorways is a fundamental capability for mobile manipulators operating in human environments, requiring coordinated motion between the mobile base and manipulator arm. This paper presents a motion planning framework that generates dynamically feasible and collision-free trajectories for autonomously opening and traversing both push and pull doors. The proposed method formulates the robot and door as a coupled dynamical system within a nonlinear Model Predictive Control (MPC) optimization framework. Manipulation feasibility is enforced through a penalty-based constraint, avoiding explicit arm kinematic modeling in the planner. Simulations and a hardware experiment demonstrate that the approach successfully plans feasible trajectories for door traversal.
arXiv:2608.00113v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In Formula 1, drivers optimize racing lines within tire grip limits to minimize lap times; however, in rally racing, drivers intentionally break traction to drift on loose surfaces. This maneuver rapidly aligns the vehicle for corner exits, ultimately reducing lap time. Autonomously executing such maneuvers formulates a complex dual-objective control problem: stabilizing highly nonlinear drift dynamics while strictly minimizing lap time. Addressing this challenge motivates the development of advanced Minimum-Lap-Time (MLT) drift control architectures. This paper proposes a planning-control framework specifically designed for MLT drifting scenario. First, we formulate an optimal control problem to generate a MLT drift planning trajectory, which is used as prior data to train a deep reinforcement learning drift controller. Given that drifting involves extremely large sideslip angles and is therefore challenging to learn directly, a Track-gu
arXiv:2608.00019v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deploying large language models (LLMs) for operations research (OR) tasks remains challenging because correctness depends on a coherent modeling process, not merely a correct final answer. Standard autoregressive generation operates on a myopic policy, which sometimes fails to anticipate whether a partial formulation can be validly extended into a globally consistent optimization model. Consequently, locally plausible steps may propagate into catastrophic downstream formulation or solver code errors. To address this, we propose an uncertainty-aware, training-free inference framework for OR mathematical modeling. Without updating model parameters, our method evaluates intermediate candidate steps using short lookahead simulations to quantify downstream predictive uncertainty or probability concentration. Candidates that demonstrate a higher likelihood of yielding coherent mathematical formulations are then dynamically selected via importan
arXiv:2608.00106v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic systems must decide not only what answer to produce, but which reasoning and execution operations should precede it. A controller may answer directly, decompose a request, retrieve evidence, execute code, delegate to a specialist, or verify an intermediate result. Existing routing work largely selects model endpoints, retrieval depth, or tools in isolation. We introduce an executable benchmark and a budget-aware meta-router that composes heterogeneous operations from raw task text. The benchmark contains 216 training, 72 development, 108 held-out test, and 108 locked lexical-shift challenge tasks across data analysis, frozen-corpus research, and document processing. Outcomes are machine checked after operations execute. Independent regularized logistic heads predict operation probabilities from word and character features, are temperature-scaled on development data, and are greedily composed under route-cost and action-count budge
