Abstract
This paper studies the cooperative hunting problem, where a group of agents encircle a target while avoiding collisions with each other and with obstacles in the environment. The paper deals with obstacle rich environments and dynamic (moving obstacle) environments by formulating the problem as both a control problem and a planning problem. A model predictive control (MPC) method is proposed which integrates a multi-agent planner with the cooperative hunting objective while also accounting for UAV dynamics. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified through a comparative analysis with optimal reciprocal collision avoidance (ORCA), and then validated through experiments with quadrotor UAVs. Using the proposed method, agents no longer get stuck in local minima for obstacle rich environments and capture the target faster with shorter trajectories in moving obstacle environments.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
