Mind the Refinement Gap: When Safe High-Level Robot Plans Produce Unsafe Executions

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2610.02662v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Language-enabled robot systems increasingly combine semantic-graph planning with temporal-logic safety monitors. We investigate a trace-completeness assumption in these systems: whether the high-level action sequence checked by a monitor represents the navigation and implicit action effects induced during execution. We audit this assumption in RoboGuard by comparing its verdict on a surface plan with its verdict on a graph-refined trace under the same Linear Temporal Logic (LTL) specification. Our evaluation comprises 28 controlled cases spanning five action-abstraction families and 14 end-to-end cases in which SPINE [1] generates plans from natural-language instructions while RoboGuard generates scene-grounded safety specifications. In the c
