GoKawiilVicOne LAB R7 shows manipulated sensor inputs can alter robot behavior
VicOne's LAB R7 research team tested how falsified or adversarial inputs—images, posters, and inaudible audio—can change robot behavior even when safety systems function as designed. In one test, text on a poster was misread as a command by a robot dog running Gemma 4 E4B, altering its movement; in another, crafted inaudible audio changed a simulated hospital robot's behavior using Nemotron on an NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin. The team also cited published studies, including one on vision-language-action models and FreezeVLA, showing adversarial visual inputs can disrupt or override robot task execution.
