Security of Foundation-Model-Powered Embodied Agents: Attack Surfaces, Attacks, Defenses, and Evaluation

Foundation models are increasingly used for perception, reasoning, planning, and action generation in embodied agents, creating security risks that can propagate from digital inputs to physical behavior. Existing surveys often organize threats by mechanisms such as jailbreaks, prompt injection,...

AGENTSAFE: Benchmarking the Safety of Embodied Agents on Hazardous Instructions

The rapid advancement of vision-language models VLMs and their integration into embodied agents have unlocked powerful capabilities for decision-making. However, as these systems are increasingly deployed in real-world environments, they face mounting safety concerns, particularly when responding...
