OGAM uses pairwise scene-derived tests and object-role attention to monitor robot policies. It aligns each attention course with a successful reference using dynamic time warping and stops execution when divergence persists. In LIBERO-Goal paraphrase tests, OpenVLA stopped 58 of 67 failures, with 3 false stops among 63 successes. These simulation results do not guarantee false-stop rates on new episodes.
