Researchers have developed a new method for ensuring the safety of autonomous systems that rely on learned perception, particularly when sensor readings might be misclassified. The approach involves constructing confidence intervals for perception outcome probabilities, which are then used to model the system as an Interval Partially Observable Markov Decision Process. This allows for the computation of a conservative set of beliefs over the system's state, enabling a runtime shield that guarantees safety with high probability, as demonstrated in experiments across four case studies.
