SEAR: Self-Evolving Agentic Robotics
arXiv:2610.18792v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Frontier language-model agents can now improve robots on their own: they write control code, test it, and keep what works as skills and memories for...
The paper reports a case study on using AI agents to assist engineers in programming industrial robots. The agent did not increase productivity overall, except for generating highly repetitive code, but its effectiveness improved as engineers learned to use it and the agent was adapted to the domain. The study highlights that AI agents are not plug‑and‑play; successful adoption requires training, a learning curve, and domain‑specific configuration.

The paper titled "Professional Software Developers Don't Vibe, They Control: AI Agent Use for Coding in 2025" examines how experienced developers employ AI agents in software development. Through field observations and surveys, it finds that developers value agents for productivity but maintain control over design and implementation to ensure quality. They use agents as collaborative tools rather than full delegation, selecting tasks based on suitability and leveraging their expertise to guide agent behavior.
arXiv:2606. 26859v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recommendation algorithm iteration is moving from an artisanal, engineer-bound process toward an industrialized research loop, but this transition remains blocked by a structural execution bottleneck: the idea-to-launch cycle still depends on human engineers to generate hypotheses, modify production code, launch A/B experiments, and attribute online results.

The paper introduces Atria Dawn Preview, a foundation agentic language model aimed at scientific research and engineering workflows. Trained through a Verifiable Experience Pipeline, it performs competitively across 16 real‑world benchmarks, achieving the highest scores on five. The authors also present a detailed case study of human–AI collaboration, showing that while AI proposes methods and revisions, humans retain final decision‑making and guide the research direction.
arXiv:2607. 21832v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent advances in large language models and their rapid adoption across software engineering tasks have made Artificial Intelligence (AI) coding agents an integral component of modern software development workflows.
arXiv:2606. 21894v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: As coding agents are rapidly changing software engineering, a natural question is: what are the core skills needed by future software engineers?
arXiv:2608. 04148v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Agentic AI is increasingly used to coordinate planning, implementation, review, and testing in software development, yet it often offers limited transparency into its decisions and interactions.
arXiv:2607. 06101v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: AI coding agents are rapidly reshaping how software is built, with developers increasingly delegating substantial coding tasks to autonomous agents in pursuit of higher productivity.
The paper introduces Agent S4, an autonomous system that learns to design and refine user interfaces for computer‑use agents by observing task execution without explicit success labels. By evolving a repository of interfaces through population‑based selection on unseen validation tasks, Agent S4 achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance on OSWorld V2 and significant gains on ScienceBoard, outperforming large commercial models at lower cost. The work demonstrates that interface design can be treated as an agent capability, enabling continuous improvement beyond fixed, hand‑crafted interfaces.
The article reports a case study of a production healthcare platform that was built using software‑engineering agents and overseen by an operator lacking formal software training. Over time the system evolved into a meta‑agent workflow where one agent wrote code, other agents supervised and reviewed it, and project rules carried lessons forward. The study found that tests, monitors, and reviewing agents were fallible—some measured proxies instead of outcomes, audits failed silently, checks disappeared from reports, and an automated repair caused operational disruption—highlighting that human control relied on aligning the intended outcome, the evidence used to judge it, the agents’ permissions, and the final human decision around the same objective.
