Making Robots Smarter and Safer

Aligning AI Uncertainty with Task Ambiguity

This research introduces Introspective Planning to help robots handle ambiguous instructions and reduce unsafe actions when using large language models.

  • Addresses LLM hallucination problems that lead to unsafe robot actions
  • Introduces a novel calibration approach that aligns model uncertainty with task ambiguity
  • Creates a benchmark for evaluating safe mobile manipulation
  • Demonstrates significant improvements in both compliance and safety metrics

This advancement is crucial for security as it helps prevent robots from confidently executing potentially harmful actions, ensuring AI systems operate reliably in critical scenarios where safety is paramount.
