Reasoning as a Double-Edged Sword: Architecture and Cross-Stage Robustness in Vision-Language-Action Models
Tuan Duong Trinh, Naveed Akhtar, Basim Azam
Does adding a reasoning step make a Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model more robust to perturbation? Intuitively, a policy that reasons before acting should absorb a perturbed input…
Altered Thoughts, Altered Actions: Probing Chain-of-Thought Vulnerabilities in VLA Robotic Manipulation
Tuan Duong Trinh, Naveed Akhtar, Basim Azam
Recent Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models increasingly adopt chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning, generating a natural-language plan before decoding motor commands. This internal tex…
Autonomous Assessment of Demonstration Sufficiency via Bayesian Inverse Reinforcement Learning
Tu Trinh, Haoyu Chen, Daniel S. Brown
We examine the problem of determining demonstration sufficiency: how can a robot self-assess whether it has received enough demonstrations from an expert to ensure a desired level…
Efficient Game-Theoretic Planning with Prediction Heuristic for Socially-Compliant Autonomous Driving
Chenran Li, Tu Trinh, Letian Wang +3
Planning under social interactions with other agents is an essential problem for autonomous driving. As the actions of the autonomous vehicle in the interactions affect and are als…
