arXiv:2607. 18325v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern safety-critical systems increasingly rely on human-robot interaction to reduce disaster risk and support decision-making during emergencies.
arXiv:2607. 00218v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs) are now proposed as runtime safety guards for embodied agents in homes and factories.
arXiv:2607. 16582v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In high-risk environments such as disaster response, situational awareness depends not only on detecting hazards but also on communicating them clearly to human operators.
arXiv:2607. 14543v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs) are increasingly used as the reasoning backbone of embodied agents, enabling robots to interpret visual scenes, follow language instructions, and plan multi-step actions.
arXiv:2606. 02443v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Between the first visible sign of danger and the moment an accident occurs, there is often a window where intervention remains possible.
Assessing proxemic danger from a robot's egocentric perspective is critical for safe embodied navigation in human environments and requires both visual and contextual reasoning. We evaluate three opensource vision-language models (VLMs) (\textit{InternVL}, \textit{Qwen-VL}, and \textit{SmolVLM}) on the classification of egocentric robot images into four danger levels, comparing three prompting strategies and two rounds of QLoRA fine-tuning against a stratified random baseline.
arXiv:2605. 31119v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In robotics, dangers and adversity modes are often embodiment-specific and relative to each agent.
arXiv:2606. 24759v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have shown strong potential for autonomous driving scene understanding, yet existing methods still face a fundamental trade-off between temporal reasoning and spatial precision.
arXiv:2607. 08745v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advances in Vision-Language Models, Large Language Models, and Multimodal Large Language Models have improved autonomous driving tasks such as scene understanding, decision making, trajectory prediction, and visual question answering.
Recent multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have shown strong potential for autonomous driving scene understanding, yet existing methods still face a fundamental trade-off between temporal reasoning and spatial precision. Models that rely on single-frame or low-resolution inputs often miss small, distant, or partially occluded hazards, while language-centric driving models frequently provide limited grounded evidence for their explanations.

arXiv:2511. 14592v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision-Language Models (VLMs) show great promise for autonomous driving, but their suitability for safety-critical scenarios is largely unexplored, raising safety concerns.
