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. 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:2510. 03314v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Ensuring the safety of vulnerable road users (VRUs), such as pedestrians and cyclists, remains a critical challenge, as conventional infrastructure-based measures are often insufficient in dynamic urban environments.
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:2607. 00218v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs) are now proposed as runtime safety guards for embodied agents in homes and factories.
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: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.
arXiv:2606. 03954v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As AI systems increasingly assist humans in physical tasks, ensuring safety becomes paramount -- physical actions carry immediate and irreversible consequences that digital errors do not.
As AI systems increasingly assist humans in physical tasks, ensuring safety becomes paramount -- physical actions carry immediate and irreversible consequences that digital errors do not. We introduce the Vision-Language Embodied Safety Agent (VLESA), a framework that monitors human activities from egocentric video and triggers real-time safety interventions when dangerous actions are predicted.
arXiv:2607. 09792v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Navigation is a fundamental capability of autonomous systems, yet most existing approaches rely on highly structured models and strong prior assumptions, limiting their robustness in open and uncertain real-world environments.
arXiv:2606. 29115v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Autonomous vehicles (AVs) are increasingly deployed in urban environments, yet their safety frameworks remain primarily designed around collision avoidance and minimal risk condition (MRC) behaviors such as slowing or stopping when uncertainty arises.
arXiv:2605. 31119v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In robotics, dangers and adversity modes are often embodiment-specific and relative to each agent.
arXiv:2603. 29759v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent advances in vision-language models (VLMs) have accelerated their application to indoor safety hazards assessment.
