AI-Native Closed-Loop Security for 6G-Enabled Cyber-Physical Systems: From Edge Detection to Network-Wide Mitigation

arXiv:2606. 08173v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In sixth-generation (6G) networks, billions of cyber-physical systems (CPSs) - autonomous vehicles, smart grids, industrial robots, and remote-surgical equipment - will run over ultra-reliable low-latency slices, collapsing the gap between a remote breach and physical harm to milliseconds, a budget perimeter firewalls and centralised security operations centres cannot meet.

BRAIN: Bayesian Reasoning via Active Inference for Agentic and Embodied Intelligence in Mobile Networks

arXiv:2602. 14033v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Future sixth-generation (6G) mobile networks will demand artificial intelligence (AI) agents that are not only autonomous and efficient, but also capable of real-time adaptation in dynamic environments and transparent in their decisionmaking.

TabClaw: An Interactive and Self-Evolving Agent for Spreadsheet Manipulation and Table Reasoning

Spreadsheets and tables are widely used representations for structured data analysis, but effective analysis still requires substantial manual effort and domain expertise. Recent large language model (LLM) agents can automate parts of this process, but they often provide limited transparency into intermediate decisions, rely on implicit assumptions, struggle with multi-table comparison, and repeat similar workflows without adapting to a user's preferences.

Guide Me Out: A Framework to Benchmark VLM Operators Communication in Crisis Scenarios

Effective crisis response requires spatially grounded communication that bridges linguistic guidance of civilians with the physical environment, accounting for structural bottlenecks, evolving threats, and agent-specific contexts. Yet, current NLP research in crisis communication remains mainly limited to static, text-only classification settings, overlooking the critical communicative role of AI operators in dynamic, embodied scenarios.

EditSSC: Toward Editable Semantic Occupancy Scenes with Unconditional Diffusion Models

3D semantic scene generation is crucial for autonomous driving applications, yet most methods rely on complex 3D-specific architectures such as triplane encoders and adapted diffusion networks, limiting both their simplicity and their editing capabilities. We propose EditSSC, an editing-ready method for 3D semantic scene generation using 2D Bird's Eye View (BEV) representations and off-the-shelf latent diffusion network.

Learning All-Terrain Locomotion for a Planetary Rover with Actively Articulated Suspension

arXiv:2606. 06790v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper presents ERNEST, a four-wheeled planetary rover concept equipped with a two-degree-of-freedom Active Gimbal Suspension that combines yaw and roll actuation to enable wheel reconfiguration, steering, and active load redistribution.

Neuro-Symbolic Learning for Long-Horizon Task Planning Under Complex Logical Constraints

arXiv:2606. 06877v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Task planning often suffers from severe efficiency bottlenecks when robots must reason over long-horizon action sequences under complex logical constraints, including object affordances, spatial relationships, and sequential action dependencies.

MatterDoor: Sampling Zero-shot Spatio-semantic Priors using Generative Models

arXiv:2510. 11014v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Autonomous robots often view rooms only partially, through a doorway, where the walls and scene structure hide the geometry and task-relevant semantics needed for safe navigation and goal-directed action.
