D3ARC is an asynchronous distributed hierarchical framework designed for time‑critical wildfire detection using multiple robotic agents. It enables cooperative perception, shared situational awareness, and coordinated actions while a remote controller asynchronously directs each robot’s motion. The system incorporates safe navigation, coverage efficiency, and a forward‑looking capability to evaluate candidate strategies before execution, achieving up to 94% mission success and 89.4% detection confidence in realistic simulations.

The paper introduces Reliability‑Aware Future Conditioning (RAFC), a method that dynamically estimates how much to trust a generated future video clip and selects the most appropriate temporal hypothesis for robot manipulation tasks. By treating temporal misalignment as a control problem rather than a generation problem, RAFC improves success rates on the CALVIN benchmark and a Franka robot under various timing mismatches, outperforming static and uniform‑averaging baselines. The approach builds on Future‑Experience Conditioning (FEC) and learns solely from task reward without explicit alignment supervision.

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.
The paper introduces RESCUE, a counterfactual framework that evaluates whether runtime monitors for robot policies generate alarms that lead to useful interventions. By restoring simulator and policy states at checkpoints, RESCUE compares alternative actions to identify the latest checkpoint that satisfies a recovery criterion and measures whether acting on alarms reduces expected task‑completion cost. Experiments on OpenVLA‑OFT and π0.5 over LIBERO‑Spatial and LIBERO‑Plus show that recoverability depends on the state–intervention pair, and that even an ideal detector can only tolerate a 2.0–3.3% false‑alarm rate before unnecessary resets outweigh early failure stops.
