The paper introduces a Metamorphic Artificial Age Score (AAS) decision-support prototype for monitoring drone propeller health using flight logs. It extracts six health indicators—trajectory tracking error, attitude instability, thrust-command burden, motor-command imbalance, ESC-command instability, and battery-level stress—from MATLAB matrices and normalizes them against a healthy baseline. A controlled retrospective evaluation classified three defective propeller cases into different severity levels, demonstrating that fault effects manifest across multiple operational channels and highlighting the need for a multi-indicator decision-support layer for maintenance prioritization.

The paper presents a validated protocol for adapting drone‑based crowd‑counting models to the extreme conditions expected at the 2034 FIFA World Cup in Saudi Arabia. Using 525 controlled runs and a full‑resolution corpus, the authors demonstrate that label‑free adaptation can recover 31‑49% of shift‑induced error across multiple corruptions and severities, achieving a 41.8 MAE improvement over a frozen source model. They also introduce a severity law, a stability budget, and a flux‑based risk module that detects real congestion episodes, culminating in a six‑point deployment protocol for safe aerial crowd monitoring.
FLY-EVAL++ is an evidence-driven evaluation protocol designed for safety-constrained flight prediction with large language models. It combines deterministic verification of protocol compliance, physical feasibility, and safety constraints with rubric-guided aggregation into interpretable multi-dimensional scores. Applied to Flight Trajectory and Attitude Prediction, the protocol revealed that safety compliance is the most discriminative dimension among 66 LLMs, with models showing up to 28-point differences in safety scores and recurrent failures such as safety violations under physically plausible predictions and instability in multi-step rollouts.

arXiv:2608. 16349v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents may assist flight crews with complex decisions and task execution, but existing aviation evaluations centered on static knowledge do not support systematic testing of procedural execution and safety compliance in interactive environments.
The paper introduces a new resilience evaluation framework for Embodied Agents Systems (EAS), defining metrics for Rebound, Stability, and Graceful Extensibility. It demonstrates that traditional outcome-centric metrics obscure dynamic behaviors, while the proposed metrics reveal process-level distinctions such as recovery costs and instability across 400 household tasks with 10 EAS. Optimizing with these metrics reduces recovery costs and improves stability and extensibility, highlighting a trade‑off among resilience characteristics that should guide deployment-specific system design.

arXiv:2607. 16130v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: AI governance increasingly requires judgments about whether an AI system remains adequately trustworthy over time, whether observed changes are tolerable, and how such judgments should be documented in a transparent and contestable way.
FLY-EVAL++ is an evidence-driven evaluation protocol designed for safety-constrained flight prediction with large language models. It combines deterministic verification of protocol compliance, physical feasibility, and safety constraints, then aggregates results into interpretable multi-dimensional scores. Applied to Flight Trajectory and Attitude Prediction, the protocol reveals that safety compliance is the most discriminative metric, with models of similar predictive accuracy differing by over 28 points in safety score and exhibiting recurrent safety violations and instability in multi-step rollouts.
