Audit-First Rollback Semantics for Safety-Critical Deployment Pipelines
Xue Qin, Simin Luan, Cong Yang +1
Distributed deployment runtimes carry a coherence obligation that classical fault-tolerance frameworks do not name directly: the live state a component is configured to run and the…
Federated Trust for Embodied Robot Capability Marketplaces
Xue Qin, Simin Luan, Cong Yang +1
Robot capability marketplaces, the "app store for robot skills," are emerging as the deployment vector for LLM-driven robot fleets. The default cloud-native answer to "is this pack…
Governable Individuals: An Identity Layer for Embodied Agents That Keep Learning
Xue Qin, Simin Luan, Cong Yang +1
Embodied artificial intelligence is moving from deployable models to persistent agents that learn in the field, acquire skills and migrate across bodies. Governing such a system me…
Governed Caste Reassignment in Heterogeneous Swarms: An Asymmetric-Trust Protocol with Audited Operator Countersignature
Xue Qin, Simin Luan, Cong Yang +1
In heterogeneous robot swarms, caste reassignment (rebinding a robot to a new capability-bound role) is a high-frequency runtime event driven by battery, payload, and priority chan…
Governed Individuation: Cryptographically Decoupling an Agent's Learning from Its Authority
Xue Qin, Simin Luan, Cong Yang +1
Autonomous agents are moving from sandboxed text generators to operators of code, data, and physical infrastructure, and they increasingly learn while deployed. This reopens a ques…
Episodic-to-Semantic Consolidation Without Identity Drift
Xue Qin, Simin Luan, Cong Yang +1
Long-running adaptive intelligent agents face a structural tension between knowledge consolidation and information integrity. Memory consolidation is conventionally treated as an a…
