Learning Robot Safety from Sparse Human Feedback using Conformal Prediction

Conformal prediction uses human flags on policy trajectories to identify likely unsafe states and issue warnings. The archive reports quadcopter navigation experiments and policy improvement. Its statistical miss-rate statement depends on the method's assumptions and the supplied labels, which are not universal physical safety criteria.

Source overview

Conformal prediction uses human flags on policy trajectories to identify likely unsafe states and issue warnings. The archive reports quadcopter navigation experiments and policy improvement. Its statistical miss-rate statement depends on the method's assumptions and the supplied labels, which are not universal physical safety criteria.

Use and review

Original summary of the primary archive abstract and bibliographic record. Specialist technical and native-language review remain pending. The reported method does not establish a deployed safety function or achieved PL.
