ECM Contracts: Contract-Aware, Versioned, and Governable Capability Interfaces for Embodied Agents
Xue Qin, Simin Luan, Cong Yang +1
Embodied agents increasingly rely on modular capabilities that are installed, upgraded, composed, and governed at runtime, yet the interfaces between these modules are specified on…
Harnessing Embodied Agents: Runtime Governance for Policy-Constrained Execution
Xue Qin, Simin Luan, John See +3
Embodied Agents are evolving from passive reasoning systems into active executors that interact with tools, robots, and physical environments. Once an agent gains execution authori…
ICAN-Deploy: Identity-Stable Canary Deployment for Safety-Critical Embodied Agents
Xue Qin, Simin Luan, John See +3
Canary deployment routes a fraction of traffic to a new software version, monitors metrics, and rolls back on regression. Mainstream controllers (Argo Rollouts, Spinnaker, Flagger)…
Governed Capability Evolution: Lifecycle-Time Compatibility Checking and Rollback for AI-Component-Based Systems, with Embodied Agents as Case Study
Xue Qin, Simin Luan, John See +3
Software systems built from versioned AI components increasingly need lifecycle-time governance: when a capability module evolves into a new version, the hosting system must decide…
Federated Single-Agent Robotics: Multi-Robot Coordination Without Intra-Robot Multi-Agent Fragmentation
Xue Qin, Simin Luan, John See +2
As embodied robots move toward fleet-scale operation, multi-robot coordination is becoming a central systems challenge. Existing approaches often treat this as motivation for incre…
Learning Without Losing Identity: Capability Evolution for Embodied Agents
Xue Qin, Simin Luan, John See +2
Embodied agents are expected to operate persistently in dynamic physical environments, continuously acquiring new capabilities over time. Existing approaches to improving agent per…
