Safety Without Exploration: Teaching Robots Where Not to Die
Opening — Why this matters now Modern autonomy has a credibility problem. We train systems in silico, deploy them in the real world, and hope the edge cases are forgiving. They usually aren’t. For robots, vehicles, and embodied AI, one safety violation can be catastrophic — and yet most learning‑based methods still treat safety as an expectation, a probability, or worse, a regularization term. ...
