SafeDojo: Safe Reinforcement Learning for VLA via Interactive World Model
Safe control is a prerequisite for real-world embodied intelligence, for which safe reinforcement learning has emerged as a promising paradigm. However, existing safe reinforcement learning methods either require costly real-world exploration or depend on hand-crafted safety functions. Neither scales to vision-language-action models deployed in open-world physical environments. We propose SafeDojo, the first model-based safe reinforcement learning framework for vision-language-action policies designed to learn safe actions through world model-based imagination. Specifically, SafeDojo performs online reinforcement learning on top of an interactive video world model. The world model generates action-conditioned future predictions, from which a tailored ResNet success classifier estimates per-step task progress from imagined frames and a lightweight safety head predicts per-step safety costs from latent context together with the proposed action chunk, enabling simultaneous assessment of task execution and trajectory safety. The decoupled task-reward and safety-cost signals are balanced through a Lagrangian-based constrained GRPO objective, enabling coordinated improvement of task success and safety under explicit constraints. On SafeLIBERO, SafeDojo achieves the best aggregate task success, safe success, and execution efficiency among inference-time safety, model-free RL, and model-based RL baselines, with the best average safe-success rate on both levels and an 8.25 percentage-point improvement over the strongest baseline on Level I. Real-world Franka deployment further shows the best average task and safe-success rates across five tasks. Our results position world model-based safe reinforcement learning as a scalable and generalizable path toward safe embodied intelligence.
