Provably Safe Trajectory Generation for Manipulators Under Motion and Environmental Uncertainties

This paper presents a provably safe motion planning framework for robot manipulators in uncertain, non-convex environments by integrating a deep stochastic Koopman operator for state prediction with a hierarchical sum-of-squares verification filter within a Model Predictive Path Integral controller to generate certified, collision-free trajectories.

From Verification to Amplification: Auditing Reverse Image Search as Algorithmic Gatekeeping in Visual Misinformation Fact-checking

This study audits Google's reverse image search and finds that it functions as an ineffective gatekeeper against visual misinformation, often prioritizing irrelevant content and repeated falsehoods over debunking information, particularly during the initial emergence of visual falsehoods.
