Microsoft Open Sources code-testing-generator: a Polyglot Unit-Test Agent That Hits 92.1% Task Completion Versus 78.9% for Stock Copilot

Microsoft has open sourced code-testing-generator, a polyglot unit-test agent shipping in the MIT-licensed dotnet/skills repository. It reads a repository before writing anything — detecting the language, test framework, existing conventions, and the real build and test commands — then plans, writes, runs and validates the tests it produces. On Microsoft's internal 152-task benchmark it completed 140 tasks against 120 for stock GitHub Copilot on the same model, with the gain concentrated almost entirely in vague prompts and diff-targeted requests. The post Microsoft Open Sources code-testing-generator: a Polyglot Unit-Test Agent That Hits 92.1% Task Completion Versus 78.9% for Stock Copilot appeared first on MarkTechPost.

One of science fiction’s greatest writers warned us about a AI. Does he also hold the remedy? | Alan Finkel

What might a modern day equivalent of Isaac Asimov’s laws of robotics look like? Guided by the author, I propose the three laws of AI Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk predicted in July that legions of AI-powered robots would dominate the physical world and that AI might not take orders from people any more. He also offered an alternative vision in which there would be agreement for a collective objective to make AI benign by imbuing it with a love of the truth and a desire for humanity to prosper, and that governments might have to enforce this objective. Governments around the world are belatedly starting to act on AI. In the US, President Trump’s administration is delaying and restricting the distribution of the most powerful frontier AI models from OpenAI and Anthropic. In the Europe…

KILVO: Kinematic-Inertial-LiDAR-Visual Odometry with Robust Multimodal Adaptation for Humanoid Robots

arXiv:2608.05647v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This article presents a kinematic-inertial-LiDAR-visual odometry for humanoid robots, called KILVO. Tailored to the platform features, requirements, and real-world complexity, it fully utilizes the sensors commonly equipped on humanoid robots, including joint encoders, IMU, LiDAR, and camera, within an asynchronous-sequential hybrid error-state iterated Kalman filter (ESIKF). Specifically, inertial data are used for prediction, leg kinematics are processed asynchronously at a high rate and provide proprioceptive constraints, while exteroception is updated sequentially, first by registering LiDAR points for geometric priors and then by updating the visual component via photometric errors. Moreover, the framework is elaborately designed with m…

Search-Aided Joint Agent-Environment Reinforcement Learning for Robust Lifelong Multi-Agent Path Finding with Rotations

arXiv:2608.05588v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Lifelong Multi-Agent Path Finding (LMAPF) requires repeatedly planning collision-free paths for agents that continuously receive new goals upon reaching their current ones. While many learning-based planners have been proposed for LMAPF, most rely on oversimplified kinematic assumptions that may overlook motion constraints critical to real-world performance. In this work, we study a more realistic LMAPF model derived from many real-world automated warehouse systems, termed LMAPF-R2, which incorporates robust safety constraints and in-place rotation constraints. These constraints substantially increase coordination difficulty, particularly in highly constrained spaces. To address these challenges, we propose Search-Aided Joint Reinforcement L…

PathCover: A Fast Convex Decomposition along a Path via Randomized Iterative Space Partitioning (RISP) on Point Clouds

arXiv:2608.05586v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autonomous robot navigation requires the rapid generation of obstacle-free regions for trajectory planning. However, existing corridor generators struggle to meet real-time, sensor-rate computational constraints. To resolve this bottleneck, we introduce PathCover, a framework driven by RISP; a novel randomized algorithm that constructs convex polytopes directly from raw point cloud data in expected linear time under a mild probabilistic elimination condition. PathCover generates sequences of overlapping, obstacle-free polytopes that safely constrain downstream MPC and trajectory optimization. We mathematically guarantee that the algorithm terminates in finite steps while ensuring continuous progress along any obstacle-free reference path. Ex…

ARGUS: Aligning Robot Scene Geometry Under Shifting Views with Large 3D Vision Models

arXiv:2608.05579v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large-scale visuomotor policies have demonstrated impressive performance across a wide range of robot manipulation tasks. However, despite this success, manipulation polices often entangle scene geometry with the corresponding viewpoint, learning where objects lie in an image rather than where it lies in the task space. This entanglement inherently limits the corresponding policy's ability to learn from viewpoint-diverse datasets (ex. DROID, BridgeV2) and generalize beyond the viewpoints captured in their training data. In this work, we present ARGUS, an observation pre-processing pipeline that uses large-scale 3D vision models to align image observations from arbitrary camera viewpoints into a canonical viewpoint before passing it to downst…

Sliding Sensors: Configurable Confidence in State Estimation for Continuum Robots

arXiv:2608.05410v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Continuum robots often operate in uncertain environments, where accurate state estimation is essential for safe interactions. Estimate uncertainty is inherently spatially non-uniform: confidence varies depending on where measurements are available. Global estimation accuracy is not always the top priority, but rather achieving sufficient confidence at task-relevant locations along the robot. This extended abstract introduces mechanically reconfigurable sensing enabling uncertainty-shaping in state estimation for continuum robots. We present a concept hardware design demonstrating the feasibility of longitudinal translation of a sensor within a continuum robot. We demonstrate that state estimation confidence can be reconfigured by varying the…

World-to-Wrist: Task-Conditioned Future Wrist Modeling for Fine-Grained Robot Manipulation

arXiv:2608.05369v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Vision-language-action (VLA) models often treat main-view and wrist-view observations as parallel visual inputs, overlooking their distinct roles in robot manipulation. Fine-grained manipulation, however, benefits from anticipating how wrist-local interactions may evolve under the global task context. To address this limitation, we present World-to-Wrist VLA (W2-VLA), a VLA model for fine-grained robot manipulation with task-conditioned future wrist modeling. Given current multi-view observations and a task instruction, W2-VLA contextualizes a set of latent modeling tokens as a compact interface between the vision-language model and the wrist predictor. Conditioned on this interface and the observed wrist history, the predictor forecasts fut…

Unified Planning-Learning Framework for Robust UUV Navigation Under Partial Observability

arXiv:2608.05365v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper presents an observation-only autonomy framework for Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs) navigation in dynamic underwater environments that integrates persistent occupancy mapping, global clearance-aware planning, and risk-aware local control. The proposed pipeline constructs occupancy maps solely from onboard sonar and depth image observations, adapts a clearance-constrained global planner (GP) to provide long-horizon structure, and integrates a reinforcement learning (RL) policy to handle short-range tracking and reactive avoidance. To further support decision-making under partial observability, the system learns a compact latent state representation from onboard sensor data, encoding environmental structure, obstacle dynamics, a…

Failing Gracefully: Mitigating Impact of Inevitable Robot Failures

arXiv:2608.05313v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Service robots operate in household environments shared with humans, pets, and everyday objects, where they are highly susceptible to failures such as software crashes, hardware degradation, or unpredictable interactions. While roboticists strive to minimize failures, some remain inevitable, making it critical to mitigate their potential consequences for safe and reliable deployment. This paper introduces a novel safety formulation that evaluates both the probability of impactful interactions between robots and surrounding entities during failures, and the severity of their outcomes. By quantifying the impact of failures on different entities, our approach enables robots to make informed planning decisions that balance safety with task effic…

A System for Train Condition Monitoring and Structural Health Assessment of Rail Vehicles

arXiv:2608.05221v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The ongoing digitalization of rail systems and the increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) are fundamentally transforming the design, operation, and maintenance of rail vehicles. While fully automated operation at Grade of Automation 4 (GoA4) is well established in metro systems, its deployment in mainline rail remains limited. This is primarily due to stringent safety requirements and the complexity of open operational environments. Current perception systems based on cameras, radar, and lidar are effective in detecting objects but provide limited capability for reliably identifying impacts, collisions, and driving-over events. This paper presents a novel approach for real-time vehicle condition monitoring and impact detection that i…

VLAff: Vision-Language-Affordance Model for Unified Actionable Affordances

arXiv:2608.05215v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Learning manipulation skills from human videos is promising for scalable robot learning. However, the embodiment mismatch between humans and robots makes this challenging. One promising solution is to learn object-centric actionable affordances that are embodiment-agnostic. In this work, we propose a framework that leverages egocentric human videos with state-of-the-art 3D Structure-from-Motion and hand mesh reconstruction to extract actionable affordances such as visual, grasp, and trajectory affordances that explicitly encode where to interact, how to grasp, and how to move. We construct EgoAffordance, a large-scale dataset comprising 204K episodes with 5.6M visual affordances and 11.6M grasp and trajectory affordances. Building on this, w…
