Researchers have developed NEXUS, a novel neuro-symbolic framework designed to enhance the safety and robustness of embodied agents that plan using natural language instructions. This framework jointly maintains a PDDL domain model for action schemas and an LTL safety specification for constraints. By converting execution failures and detected hazards into reusable LTL constraints, NEXUS improves action feasibility and reduces hazardous outcomes. Experiments on the SafeAgentBench evaluation set demonstrate that NEXUS offers a superior balance between task completion and refusal of unsafe actions, while also showing resilience against jailbreak attacks.
