Meet SENTINEL: Turning Words into Whole-Body Robot Motion

What’s new

Meet SENTINEL, an end-to-end model that lets humanoid robots turn plain-language instructions into whole-body motion - no hand-crafted pipelines or teleop in the loop.

How it works

Trains on a large dataset built by tracking human motions in simulation and pairing them with text descriptions.
Directly maps your words and the robot's own body signals (proprioception) to low-level motor actions.
Uses flow matching to propose short "action chunks," then refines them with a residual action head for real-world stability.
Supports multimodal cues by converting different inputs into text.

Why it matters

Tighter alignment between what we say and how robots move.
Stable execution across simulation and real hardware.
A step toward general-purpose humanoids that can learn new tasks from language.

Meet GRACE: a moral governor for safer, more transparent AI

AI agents are getting powerful—so how do we make sure they do the right thing, not just the effective thing? Meet GRACE, a reason-based moral governor that keeps AI behavior aligned with human norms by separating moral reasoning from goal-driven decision-making. * Moral Module: uses deontic logic and explicit reasons

Why some fine-tuned LLMs miss phishing—and how to fix it

Not all fine-tuned LLMs spot phishing equally. A new study tests Llama 3.1 8B, Gemma 2 9B, and Mistral on high-stakes phishing detection—and uses SHAP and mechanistic interpretability to reveal why models do (or don’t) generalize. * Architecture × data diversity matters: Gemma 2 9B hits state-of-the-art performance (F1

AI that explains itself—by following the science Black-box AI can be powerful, but it often can’t tell us why it made a decision. Concept Bottleneck Models (CBMs) try to fix that by predicting human-understandable concepts first, then the final answer. The catch: standard CBMs ignore domain-specific cause-and-effect and

Meet GenomAgent: A Team of AI Specialists for Smarter Genomics Q&A

TL;DR: Finding reliable answers in genomics is hard. GenomAgent turns one big AI into a coordinating team of specialists—and beats the current leader by 12% on a key benchmark. Genomic facts live across many databases. Standard chatbots struggle because they can’t flexibly query those sources. GeneGPT added
