Tyler Tran, Sangeet Khemlani, J. G. Trafton
Vision language models (VLMs) are AI systems paired with both language and vision encoders to process multimodal input. They are capable of performing complex semantic tasks such a…
Vision language models are unreliable at trivial spatial cognition
Sangeet Khemlani, Tyler Tran, Nathaniel Gyory +6
Vision language models (VLMs) are designed to extract relevant visuospatial information from images. Some research suggests that VLMs can exhibit humanlike scene understanding, whi…
The Perceived Danger (PD) Scale: Development and Validation
Jaclyn Molan, Laura Saad, Eileen Roesler +3
There are currently no psychometrically valid tools to measure the perceived danger of robots. To fill this gap, we provided a definition of perceived danger and developed and vali…
