Imminent Collision Mitigation with Reinforcement Learning and Vision
This work examines the role of reinforcement learning in reducing the severity of on-road collisions by controlling velocity and steering in situations in which contact is imminent. We construct a model, given camera images as input, that is capable of learning and predicting the dynamics of obstacles, cars and pedestrians, and train our policy using this model. Two policies that control both braking and steering are compared against a baseline where the only action taken is (conventional) braking in a straight line. The two policies are trained using two distinct reward structures, one where any and all collisions incur a fixed penalty, and a second one where the penalty is calculated based on already established delta-v models of injury severity. The results show that both policies exceed the performance of the baseline, with the policy trained using injury models having the highest performance.

Probing Collision Grounding in Vision-Language Models for Safe Human-Robot Collaboration
Safe human--robot collaboration requires more than visual description: a monitor must determine whether the robot body is safely separated, already colliding with the scene or a person, or about to collide. We call this …

Collision AvoidanceAct on What You See: Unlocking Safe Social Navigation in Vision-Language-Action Models
Safe social navigation requires robots to distinguish people from ordinary obstacles and to react before danger becomes imminent. We show that pretrained Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models already encode pedestrian-obje…
