Inspect Robots: Evaluating the Capabilities and Safety of Embodied AI
Christopher Leet, Achu Menon, Sravanthi Machcha +12
General purpose language models are increasingly able to control robotic hardware. Understanding the capabilities and safety of these models when embodied is therefore increasingly…
Refuses in Chat, Complies with Arms: LLM Refusal Does Not Survive Robot Control
Edward Sun, Christopher Leet, Sravanthi Machcha +4
Frontier language models reliably refuse to explain how to cause physical harm. We ask whether this refusal survives when the same models control a robot. We introduce RoboHarm, a…
Eventually Optimal and Scalable Multi-Agent Planning for Block Cave Mining
Christopher Leet, Paolo Forte, Uwe Köckemann +2
Automation in underground mining has the potential to significantly enhance safety, operational efficiency, and sustainability. However, effectively coordinating fleets of autonomo…
An Anytime, Scalable and Complete Algorithm for Embedding a Manufacturing Procedure in a Smart Factory
Christopher Leet, Aidan Sciortino, Sven Koenig
Modern automated factories increasingly run manufacturing procedures using a matrix of programmable machines, such as 3D printers, interconnected by a programmable transport system…
Jointly Assigning Processes to Machines and Generating Plans for Autonomous Mobile Robots in a Smart Factory
Christopher Leet, Aidan Sciortino, Sven Koenig
A modern smart factory runs a manufacturing procedure using a collection of programmable machines. Typically, materials are ferried between these machines using a team of mobile ro…
