A prompt-only attack called command-preserving trajectory redirection can steer VLA robot behavior to attacker-chosen physical outcomes while the text still appears to match the intended task.
ROBOSHACKLES is a new safety dataset for embodied foundation models created through a pipeline of hazard-aware editing and video synthesis from real observations, with all six tested models generating unsafe actions at a 100% rate.
VLA-Hijack is a new adversarial patch attack on Vision-Language-Action models that suppresses real arm features and injects the patch as surrogate embodiment to achieve high cross-architecture transferability.
SOTA VLA models like OpenVLA and pi0 collapse when object positions are perturbed, indicating that standard LIBERO scores reward memorization; LIBERO-PRO provides a systematic perturbed evaluation suite.
