Researchers have developed FEARL, a framework designed to make foundation models safer for robot control. FEARL separates the robot's policy into a large "Controller" for perception and reasoning, and a smaller "Safety" module that handles critical safety constraints. This modular approach allows for formal verification of the safety module using existing tools, without sacrificing the controller's expressive power. The framework has been tested in simulated robotic environments and successfully transferred to a physical robot, demonstrating its potential for practical application. AI
