Not All Agreement Counts as Corroboration: Provenance-Conserving Multi-View Fusion for Typed Action Admission in Human-Robot Collaboration

The paper introduces PACT, a provenance‑conserving fusion method for typed action admission in human‑robot collaboration. PACT treats evidence countability as a relational variable, using a supplied provenance partition to define countable units and accumulating support only across these units. Experiments on 31,200 evaluations in 48 scene clusters show that PACT achieves a lower normalized risk‑coverage area than singleton aggregation, and in offline human‑robot collaboration it admits 47 of 57 reference‑consistent candidates without any reference‑inconsistent admissions.

Global Coherence: When Every Agent Is Right and the Team Is Still Wrong - A Local-to-Global Semantic Foundation for Multi-Agent Collaboration

The paper introduces the global coherence problem, where AI agents make locally valid decisions that collectively lead to an invalid outcome due to shared state failures. It presents the Observation‑Aliasing Impossibility Theorem, establishing that a policy can guarantee a valid action only when all indistinguishable worlds share an admissible action, and shows that even with additional reasoning, roles, messages, or samples, the missing distinction cannot be recovered. The authors propose a local‑to‑global runtime semantics framework and conduct nine studies demonstrating that missing global state cannot be substituted by local intelligence.

RoboJev: An Open Vision-Language Judge for Robot Success Detection

RoboJev-27B is an open‑weight vision‑language model that predicts whether a robot has successfully completed a manipulation task by analyzing a task instruction, ten frames of the attempt, and optional auxiliary camera frames. Trained with a rank‑32 LoRA adapter on 52,598 episodes, it achieves 95.2% balanced accuracy and 0.993 AUROC on held‑out episodes of the same robot model, and maintains strong performance on unseen labs, robots, and community‑collected data. The model runs in 0.26 seconds per episode on an H100 GPU and is released with inference code and a large, transparent evaluation dataset for reproducible benchmarking.

CoreSense: Traceable Failure Recall and Conflict-Aware Belief Gating for Auditable Robot Decisions

CoreSense is a robot‑system integration architecture that traces episodic evidence and uses a conflict‑aware belief gate to decide whether to proceed, re‑observe, abstain, or escalates. The gate evaluates scope, provenance, time, contradiction, and support before making a recommendation. Evaluation on public robot datasets, simulations, and a live cloud deployment shows that belief gating can eliminate protocol‑defined unsafe proceeds while maintaining auditability.
