Red-Teaming of Vision-Language-Action Models via Quality Diversity Environment Generation

Shihan Zhao, Henry Chen, Ya-Chuan Hsu +7

A long-standing goal in robotics is to develop generalist robots that can perform tasks across a wide range of settings, flexibly specified with images and text. Vision-Language-Ac…

Fix the Mind, Not the Move: Interpretable AI Assistance via Knowledge-Gap Localization

Ayano Hiranaka, Ya-Chuan Hsu, Stefanos Nikolaidis +2

AI assistants in human-AI collaboration often correct suboptimal human actions through behavioral feedback (e.g., alerts or steering-wheel nudges in assistive driving). Such interv…

Optimization of Edge Directions and Weights for Mixed Guidance Graphs in Lifelong Multi-Agent Path Finding

Yulun Zhang, Varun Bhatt, Matthew C. Fontaine +2

Multi-Agent Path Finding (MAPF) aims to move agents from their start to goal vertices on a graph. Lifelong MAPF (LMAPF) continuously assigns new goals to agents as they complete cu…

Theory of Mind Guided Strategy Adaptation for Zero-Shot Coordination

Andrew Ni, Simon Stepputtis, Stefanos Nikolaidis +3

A central challenge in multi-agent reinforcement learning is enabling agents to adapt to previously unseen teammates in a zero-shot fashion. Prior work in zero-shot coordination of…
