arXiv:2608. 05313v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Service robots operate in household environments shared with humans, pets, and everyday objects, where they are highly susceptible to failures such as software crashes, hardware degradation, or unpredictable interactions.

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:2606. 03312v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While household robots are often evaluated based on task completion, everyday domestic environments involve value-conflicting situations in which robots are expected to choose actions that prioritize other values than task success, such as human autonomy, efficiency, or social appropriateness.
arXiv:2606. 00090v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Physical AI systems increasingly map multimodal observations, language instructions, and learned world representations into physically consequential actions.
arXiv:2607. 16921v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Non-prehensile manipulation enables flexible material handling with part carriers, but friction-based support makes high-speed motions failure-prone, while slower operation increases cycle time.
arXiv:2607. 01111v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Robot policies inevitably encounter failures when deployed in real environments.
arXiv:2607. 14826v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Safe physical AI for robot actions are required not only likely to succeed but tested to be safe before execution.
