Ethical Asymmetry in Human-Robot Interaction – An Empirical Test of Sparrow’s Hypothesis

It is found that the MPA significantly influenced the PMPA and perceived virtue scores, and the best-fitting model to describe the relationship between PMPA and PVS was cubic, which is symmetrical in nature.

FlowCorrect: Efficient Interactive Correction of Generative Flow Policies for Robotic Manipulation

The results clearly demonstrate that FlowCorrect learns from very few demonstrations and enables fast, sample-efficient, incremental, human-in-the-loop corrections of generative visuomotor policies at deployment time in real-world robotics.

Macro-Operator Generation and Predicate Selection for TAMP Operator Learning

This system discovers causally linked action pairs directly from the training data, where one action produces exactly the condition that the next one requires, and turns each pair into a new operator, and not only accelerates planning but, in certain domains, determines solvability in practice.

Meta-Ctrl: Guaranteed Plan Generation by Decoupling Syntactic and Semantic Constraints

Meta-Ctrl is proposed, a constrained-decoding framework that guarantees the encoded constraints while preserving the base LM's plan quality, and is demonstrated on a real tabletop robot, where every generated plan satisfies its preconditions and goals by construction.

Offloaded inference for real-world physical AI robotics

Robots are getting smarter, but how can their hardware match that growth? New Microsoft Research findings show that moving AI inference beyond the robot can improve task success, boost efficiency, and support more advanced physical AI workloads. The post Offloaded inference for real-world physical AI robotics appeared first on Microsoft Research.
