Security Considerations in AI-Robotics: A Survey of Current Methods, Challenges, and OpportunitiesSubash Neupane, Shaswata Mitra, Ivan A. Fernandez et al.
Robotics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) have been inextricably intertwined since their inception. Today, AI-Robotics systems have become an integral part of our daily lives, from robotic vacuum cleaners to semi-autonomous cars. These systems are built upon three fundamental architectural elements: perception, navigation and planning, and control. However, while the integration of AI-Robotics systems has enhanced the quality our lives, it has also presented a serious problem - these systems are vulnerable to security attacks. The physical components, algorithms, and data that make up AI-Robotics systems can be exploited by malicious actors, potentially leading to dire consequences. Motivated by the need to address the security concerns in AI-Robotics systems, this paper presents a comprehensive survey and taxonomy across three dimensions: attack surfaces, ethical and legal concerns, and Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) security. Our goal is to provide users, developers and other stakeholders with a holistic understanding of these areas to enhance the overall AI-Robotics system security. We begin by surveying potential attack surfaces and provide mitigating defensive strategies. We then delve into ethical issues, such as dependency and psychological impact, as well as the legal concerns regarding accountability for these systems. Besides, emerging trends such as HRI are discussed, considering privacy, integrity, safety, trustworthiness, and explainability concerns. Finally, we present our vision for future research directions in this dynamic and promising field.

Hybrid LLM-based Intelligent Framework for Robot Task SchedulingSwayamjit Saha, Subhabrata Das, Haonan Duan et al.
This study introduces intelligent frameworks that use Large Language Models (LLMs) to improve task scheduling for construction robots. The LLM is fed with key data about the desired task, such as agent action abilities, and the desired end goal to be achieved. A well-balanced allocation strategy is developed, optimizing both time efficiency and resource utilization. Our system utilizes a Natural Language Processing interface to streamline communication with construction professionals and adapt in real-time to unexpected site conditions. We concurrently use two LLM agents, specifically generator (GPT-4) and supervisor (Gemma 3/Llama 4/Mistral 7b) LLM agents to provide a more precise task schedule. We evaluate the proposed methodology using a straightforward scenario and provide metric scores to prove the efficacy of the frameworks. Our results highlight that the implementation of LLMs is crucial in construction operational tasks including robots.

Beyond Accuracy: Evaluating Forecasting Models by Multi-Echelon Inventory CostSwata Marik, Swayamjit Saha, Garga Chatterjee
This study develops a digitalized forecasting-inventory optimization pipeline integrating traditional forecasting models, machine learning regressors, and deep sequence models within a unified inventory simulation framework. Using the M5 Walmart dataset, we evaluate seven forecasting approaches and assess their operational impact under single- and two-echelon newsvendor systems. Results indicate that Temporal CNN and LSTM models significantly reduce inventory costs and improve fill rates compared to statistical baselines. Sensitivity and multi-echelon analyses demonstrate robustness and scalability, offering a data-driven decision-support tool for modern supply chains.

Comprehensive Forecasting-Based Analysis of Hybrid and Stacked Stateful/ Stateless ModelsSwayamjit Saha
Wind speed is a powerful source of renewable energy, which can be used as an alternative to the non-renewable resources for production of electricity. Renewable sources are clean, infinite and do not impact the environment negatively during production of electrical energy. However, while eliciting electrical energy from renewable resources viz. solar irradiance, wind speed, hydro should require special planning failing which may result in huge loss of labour and money for setting up the system. In this paper, we discuss four deep recurrent neural networks viz. Stacked Stateless LSTM, Stacked Stateless GRU, Stacked Stateful LSTM and Statcked Stateful GRU which will be used to predict wind speed on a short-term basis for the airport sites beside two campuses of Mississippi State University. The paper does a comprehensive analysis of the performance of the models used describing their architectures and how efficiently they elicit the results with the help of RMSE values. A detailed description of the time and space complexities of the above models has also been discussed.

Can Transformer Memory Be Corrupted? Investigating Cache-Side Vulnerabilities in Large Language ModelsElias Hossain, Swayamjit Saha, Somshubhra Roy et al.
Even when prompts and parameters are secured, transformer language models remain vulnerable because their key-value (KV) cache during inference constitutes an overlooked attack surface. This paper introduces Malicious Token Injection (MTI), a modular framework that systematically perturbs cached key vectors at selected layers and timesteps through controlled magnitude and frequency, using additive Gaussian noise, zeroing, and orthogonal rotations. A theoretical analysis quantifies how these perturbations propagate through attention, linking logit deviations to the Frobenius norm of corruption and softmax Lipschitz dynamics. Empirical results show that MTI significantly alters next-token distributions and downstream task performance across GPT-2 and LLaMA-2/7B, as well as destabilizes retrieval-augmented and agentic reasoning pipelines. These findings identify cache integrity as a critical yet underexplored vulnerability in current LLM deployments, positioning cache corruption as a reproducible and theoretically grounded threat model for future robustness and security research.

Knowledge-Aware Self-Correction in Language Models via Structured Memory GraphsSwayamjit Saha
Large Language Models (LLMs) are powerful yet prone to generating factual errors, commonly referred to as hallucinations. We present a lightweight, interpretable framework for knowledge-aware self-correction of LLM outputs using structured memory graphs based on RDF triples. Without retraining or fine-tuning, our method post-processes model outputs and corrects factual inconsistencies via external semantic memory. We demonstrate the approach using DistilGPT-2 and show promising results on simple factual prompts.

Comprehensive forecasting based analysis using stacked stateless and stateful Gated Recurrent Unit modelsSwayamjit Saha, Niladri Majumder, Devansh Sangani
Photovoltaic power is a renewable source of energy which is highly used in industries. In economically struggling countries it can be a potential source of electric energy as other non-renewable resources are already exhausting. Now if installation of a photovoltaic cell in a region is done prior to research, it may not provide the desired energy output required for running that region. Hence forecasting is required which can elicit the output from a particular region considering its geometrical coordinates, solar parameter like GHI and weather parameters like temperature and wind speed etc. Our paper explores forecasting of solar irradiance on four such regions, out of which three is in West Bengal and one outside to depict with using stacked Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) models. We have checked that stateful stacked gated recurrent unit model improves the prediction accuracy significantly.
