arXiv:2607. 18200v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Robots in cluttered indoor spaces often fail not because they cannot generate collision-free paths, but because a fixed safety margin is mis-calibrated: conservative margins cause detours and timeouts, while permissive margins lead to near-boundary shortcuts under perception bias.

SafeFlow is a real‑time, text‑driven humanoid control framework that blends physics‑guided motion generation with a three‑stage safety gate. It uses Physics‑Guided Rectified Flow Matching in a VAE latent space to produce physically executable trajectories, accelerates sampling with Reflow, and filters unsafe outputs via semantic OOD detection, directional sensitivity checks, and hard kinematic constraints before handing them to a motion‑tracking controller. Experiments on the Unitree G1 show that SafeFlow achieves higher success rates, better physical compliance, and faster inference than diffusion‑ and retargeting‑based baselines while maintaining motion diversity.

CrossSafe proposes embodiment-conditioned safety filtering that uses a Hamilton‑Jacobi reachability value function shared across robots while conditioning on each robot’s morphology and kinematics via a morphology‑aware latent representation. The method performs reachability analysis directly in latent space, enabling a single policy trained on multiple bimanual robot embodiments and manipulation tasks to generalize zero‑shot to a held‑out embodiment and reduce collision rates. Experiments on five embodiments and five tasks demonstrate that training with more embodiments improves generalization.
