Agentic ERP: Multi-Agent Large Language Model Architecture for Autonomous Enterprise Resource Planning

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems record transactions reliably but still delegate almost all operational decision-making to human specialists, because classical rule-based automation cannot reason about exceptions and monolithic AI assistants degrade when asked to coordinate across functional boundaries. This paper presents Agentic ERP, an expert-system architecture that combines role-aligned large-language-model (LLM) agents with a risk-tiered human-in-the-loop harness and a graph-based orchestrator to execute end-to-end business workflows on a production ERP backend. First, autonomous ERP operation is formulated as a constrained sequential-decision problem over a structured enterprise state, with a decomposition argument linking role-aligned agents to a measurable reduction in per-step tool-selection complexity. Second, a graph-based Planner--Executor--Reflector--Responder orchestration decouples generation from evaluation through externalised grading criteria and sprint contracts, packaging recent harness-engineering principles as inspectable expert-system artefacts. Third, the system is evaluated at three levels: a scenario-based task suite, a comprehensive comparison of six orchestration paradigms on cross-functional crisis tasks, and a 365-day agent-in-the-loop simulation against rule-based RPA and no-intervention baselines. Across these levels the proposed multi-agent method is significantly better than the baseline, and the system sustains a simulated year of operation with zero stockouts while the rule-based baseline accumulates hundreds under the same demand stream. The work shows that role-aligned LLM agents under human oversight can move an ERP system from passively recording transactions to actively executing operational decisions, and it provides a reference architecture and an evaluation protocol for autonomous enterprise resource planning.

Ghost Attractor Networks: Basin-Structured Dynamical Decoders for Closed-Loop Sequential Generation

Sequential output generation with large-scale Transformer and diffusion decoders pays a memory cost that grows with sequence length, plus iterative per-step computation. Replacing them with small feed-forward decoders restores efficiency but produces unstructured latent representations that limit closed-loop control: phase-conditioned action generation and cross-step latent carry-over both require a latent geometry with stable basins. This article proposes Ghost Attractor Networks, a theoretically derived dynamical decoder whose latent evolves under a learned potential with drift and produces a basin-attractor structure by construction. Three desiderata (multi-modality, decoder-level single-pass switching, and constant memory) motivate the potential-drift form, and mode transitions arise as saddle-node bifurcations with ghost-attractor escape. A hierarchical phase-space decomposition separates first-order basin convergence from second-order proprioceptive refinement. Empirically, a Ghost trained end-to-end with a behavioral-cloning and contrastive objective exhibits the predicted gradient-flow contraction in its potential, with the gradient norm decaying by 67 percent across five integration steps on 1430 held-out samples. Ghost is evaluated as a robotic action decoder. A 2.3-million-parameter Ghost matches the offline accuracy of a 1.07-billion-parameter Diffusion Transformer at 462 times fewer parameters and 32 times lower latency, and beats five alternative 2M-parameter decoders (MLP, Neural ODE, CVAE, Transformer, 1-step Diffusion) on offline mean squared error by 5.9 to 29 percent. On the LIBERO-10 closed-loop benchmark, phase conditioning on Ghost's basin-structured latent yields a 13.5 percentage-point success-rate gain over a feed-forward MLP baseline, and persistent-latent ensembling reaches a 95.7 percent final success rate.

Vision-Guided Dual-Arm Humanoid Robotic Disassembly of End-of-Life 18650 Lithium-ion Battery Packs

The growing volume of retired lithium-ion battery packs from electric vehicles and portable electronics calls for automated disassembly that is safe, flexible, and selective down to the individual cell. Existing robotic systems, however, mostly assume known pack poses, external fixtures, or specialised tooling, leaving fixture-free cell-level disassembly under pose uncertainty largely unsolved. This paper presents a vision-guided dual-arm pipeline that disassembles a 21-cell 18650 pack from an arbitrary initial pose using only general-purpose parallel-jaw grippers, RGB-D sensing, and a pre-trained grasp detector. Pose uncertainty is absorbed by a learn-and-filter perception stack with discrete look-and-move wrist-camera corrections, while a mid-task support transfer between the two arms extends the effective workspace without any external clamp. The pipeline achieves an 8/10 end-to-end success rate, a cell-localisation root-mean-square error of $2.4$\,mm, and a mean cycle time of 6.0\,minutes per pack, providing a practical, fixture-free building block for industrial battery recycling.

Agentic Neuro-Symbolic Planning and Commissioning for Human-in-the-Loop Industrial Robotics with Digital Twins

Flexible robotic automation requires systems that interpret operator intent, verify physical feasibility, and recover from execution failures across both the planning and execution stages. This paper proposes an agentic neuro-symbolic framework for human-in-the-loop industrial robotics, in which LLMs are used for tasks that require language understanding or contextual reasoning, while all verification, sequencing, and execution remain deterministic. The framework adapts the Planner-Generator-Evaluator (PGE) harness pattern from software engineering into a Specifier-Designer-Inspector (SDI) architecture for industrial robotics, combined with LangGraph-based dynamic routing for failure recovery. A two-tier recovery mechanism addresses structure-level replanning through context-aware orchestration and execution-level geometric failures through deterministic recovery skills. A Unity3D digital twin supports human inspection, modification, and re-verification prior to physical execution. Evaluated on natural-language commands across multiple difficulty levels against ten baselines, the proposed method achieves the highest task success. Ablation results confirm that structured command expansion, symbolic verification, selective LLM routing, and recovery skills are each individually necessary.

MindAlign: Bridging EEG, Vision, and Language for Zero-Shot Visual Decoding

Visual decoding from brain signals is a key challenge at the intersection of computer vision and neuroscience, requiring methods that bridge neural representations and computational models of vision. We introduce a tri-modal contrastive framework for EEG-based visual decoding that aligns EEG, visual, and textual representations within a unified latent space. Our approach follows a two-stage design. First, we pre-train an EEG encoder via masked reconstruction on unlabeled trials, learning spatio-temporal regularities that transfer robustly to downstream tasks. Second, we jointly align EEG, image, and LLM-generated textual descriptions through contrastive learning, where text supervision acts as a semantic regularizer that injects linguistic structure into the shared space without overwhelming the primary EEG-image signal. The encoder integrates subject-specific adaptation, graph-attention over channels, and temporal-spatial convolutional embeddings. On the Things-EEG2 200-way zero-shot benchmark, our framework achieves 54.1% Top-1 and 83.4% Top-5 accuracy, substantially exceeding the strongest prior baseline (32.4% / 64.0%), with paired Wilcoxon tests confirming significance (p < 0.01) over all in-subject baselines. We validate generalization on Things-MEG. Analysis reveals that compact embedding geometries (CN-CLIP) outperform much larger backbones, and that decoding aligns with established neurophysiology of visual processing. This work is a critical step towards robust, semantically-grounded visual decoding from non-invasive temporal neural signals.

We validate the effectiveness of PerfCam through a practical deployment within realistic test production lines in the pharmaceutical industry and contribute an openly published dataset to support further research and development in the field. The results demonstrate PerfCam's ability to deliver actionable insights through its precise digital twin capabilities, underscoring its value as an effective tool for developing usable digital twins in smart manufacturing environments and extracting operational analytics.
