MIT FutureTech and Physical AI Safety Institute seek videos of robot foundation model failures

According to a post on X by @MITFutureTech, MIT FutureTech and the Physical AI Safety Institute are collecting real cases in which a robot foundation model caused a safety incident, either on hardware or in simulation. Selected videos will be shown at the Science of Physical AI Safety workshop at CoRL in Austin on Nov 12 and published as an open, citable record. The workshop's paper call has closed with 121 submissions.

AI-assisted summary based on the listed source.

The groups are collecting real cases where a robot foundation model caused a safety incident, on hardware or in simulation. Selected videos will be shown at the Science of Physical AI Safety workshop at CoRL in Austin on Nov 12 and published as an open, citable record; the workshop's paper call is closed with 121...

The post's snippet says robot safety failures are rarely documented in public, so a shared, citable collection could give builders and researchers concrete cases to study. Teams working on robot foundation models may want to watch which failure types appear in the published videos. The snippet is cut off, so details on how submissions will be handled are not included in the material provided.

Security-conscious readers may want to review the source and watch for practical exposure or mitigation details.
