Abstract: A robot that fails at a task faces the first decision in corrective dialogue: act on its own diagnosis, consult another onboard sensor, or interrupt...

CoreSense is a robot‑system integration architecture that traces episodic evidence and uses a conflict‑aware belief gate to decide whether to proceed, re‑observe, abstain, or escalates. The gate evaluates scope, provenance, time, contradiction, and support before making a recommendation. Evaluation on public robot datasets, simulations, and a live cloud deployment shows that belief gating can eliminate protocol‑defined unsafe proceeds while maintaining auditability.

arXiv:2606. 03134v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Imitation-learning policies for robot manipulation inherit the quality of the success labels attached to their training episodes, and those labels are usually produced by the robot's own success check.

arXiv:2607. 12469v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Many agent-safety evaluation results are not yet load-bearing evidence: identical nominal outcomes (task success, attack success, monitor scores) may sit atop materially different evidence regimes.

The study investigates how language models equipped with tools can still produce unsupported final claims, even when a single tool call could resolve the uncertainty. It defines two metrics—occurrence (how often unsupported claims arise) and conditional repair (how often they are fixed when evidence is provided). Experiments on Qwen3-32B and Gemma 4 show that providing the missing evidence consistently repairs all unsupported claims in the Qwen3-32B setup, while the Gemma 4 model never produced unsupported claims under the tested conditions.

LLM agents are increasingly evaluated on multi-week decision tasks in which the state that drives cost is never directly observed. On such tasks the final cost cannot say why an agent failed: it may have misread the world, or read it correctly and still failed to act (the knowing-doing gap).
arXiv:2608. 05235v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Research agents increasingly conduct multi-round machine-learning experiments in industrial recommendation settings and retain the resulting trajectories to guide later decisions.

The paper introduces Cros, a risk‑constrained stopping layer for sequential clinical diagnosis agents that determines when to stop testing and make a diagnosis. Cros combines state‑wise error ranking, policy design on disjoint development splits, and exact tests of selective diagnostic error to provide finite‑sample guarantees. On a MIMIC‑derived abdominal‑pain benchmark, Cros achieves higher state‑error AUROC and lower selective error rates compared to baseline stopping methods, though its performance varies across development resplits.
