Calibrated Predictive Safety for Heterogeneous Robots: An Action-Conditioned JEPA Framework with Model-Based Safety Shields
Vision-language-action policies generalize broadly but provide no execution-time guarantees; classical model-based planners respect kinematic and geometric constraints but generalize poorly. We study whether an action-conditioned Joint-Embedding Predictive Architecture (JEPA) world model can predict, before execution, both task progress and physical risk for candidate action chunks, and whether coupling these predictions to an embodiment-specific model-based safety shield yields a deployable pipeline for heterogeneous robots. We propose a receding-horizon decision pipeline: (1) a proposer produces K candidate action chunks; (2) an action-conditioned JEPA rolls each candidate forward in a frozen-encoder latent space conditioned on an embodiment embedding; (3) calibrated risk and progress heads score each rollout and report uncertainty; (4) a deterministic per-embodiment safety shield filters inadmissible candidates; (5) a fallback ladder handles empty-admissible-set cases. The learned ranking only reorders admissible candidates; enforcement guarantees come from the deterministic shield and fallback ladder. We evaluate with a pre-registered protocol in simulation (LIBERO-Long). In 600-episode configurations the full framework improved success over a shield-only baseline and reduced collision false negatives at matched recall. Deployment-efficiency measurements on target on-robot and edge accelerators are included. Real-robot experiments and an offline reranking significance test remain future work; see the paper for disclosures.
