arXiv:2607. 21488v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Coordinating autonomous vehicles at unsignalized intersections remains a critical challenge for multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) systems, which typically struggle with combinatorial action spaces, reliance on privileged information, or rigid agent designs.
By Gil Lifshits, Igal Bilik, Gilad Katz
arXiv:2607. 17574v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reinforcement-learning navigation policies for legged robots select actions reactively from current observations and short-term memory, with limited capacity to anticipate how moving obstacles will evolve in the near future.

arXiv:2606. 23754v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deploying foundation models for robot control raises a central challenge: the expressive power that enables rich, multimodal perception also makes these models opaque and difficult to analyze formally, rendering them intractable for existing verification tools.
By Davide Corsi, Kyungmin Kim, Roy Fox
arXiv:2606. 08610v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) has become a powerful paradigm for robot learning, particularly in sim-to-real settings, but its broader adoption remains limited by the engineering pipeline surrounding the algorithms.

arXiv:2606. 00104v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Foundation models are increasingly used to drive autonomous systems, yet existing approaches either keep the model in a tight control loop, raising latency and hallucination risk, or compile natural language into opaque end-to-end policies that are hard to explain, constraint and require domain-specific datasets and fine-tuning.
