DIAL: Steerable Language Models with Distilled Instruction-Adherence Levels
Thanh Q. Tran, John Russell Himawan, Arun Verma +4
When a user says "Keep it short", how short should the LLM's response be? More generally, users and applications require different levels of instruction adherence, but prompting do…
Safety Control of a Hyper-redundant Robot via Adaptive Weighted Control Barrier Functions
Zijian Cai, Kiwan Wong, Wenci Xin +3
Hyper-redundant robots are well suited for confined-space manipulation due to their high dexterity, but safe operation in cluttered environments remains challenging. In addition, t…
BarrierSteer: LLM Safety via Learning Barrier Steering
Thanh Q. Tran, Arun Verma, Kiwan Wong +3
Despite the strong performance of large language models (LLMs) across diverse tasks, their susceptibility to adversarial attacks and unsafe content generation remains a significant…
PoSafeNet: Safe Learning with Poset-Structured Neural Nets
Kiwan Wong, Wei Xiao, Daniela Rus
Safe learning is essential for deploying learningbased controllers in safety-critical robotic systems, yet existing approaches often enforce multiple safety constraints uniformly o…
SGS: Segmentation-Guided Scoring for Global Scene Inconsistencies
Gagandeep Singh, Samudi Amarsinghe, Urawee Thani +3
We extend HAMMER, a state-of-the-art model for multimodal manipulation detection, to handle global scene inconsistencies such as foreground-background (FG-BG) mismatch. While HAMME…
Contact-Aware Safety in Soft Robots Using High-Order Control Barrier and Lyapunov Functions
Kiwan Wong, Maximilian Stölzle, Wei Xiao +3
Robots operating alongside people, particularly in sensitive scenarios such as aiding the elderly with daily tasks or collaborating with workers in manufacturing, must guarantee sa…
