About this paper

John Cao, Somil Bansal

The authors introduce a latent safety filter that compares a learned world model’s predicted state with the state inferred from the next observation. It widens plausible states from this mismatch and evaluates safety pessimistically. In open-loop Franka Panda replays with stale observations, it rescued 16 of 20 failures, versus 8 of 20 for LatentSafe; this does not guarantee live-deployment safety.
