New preprint: anomaly-informed safety confidence
We developed a new safety prediction pipeline that leverages a vector of anomaly scores to predict the system’s safety confidence. Somehow, it manages to generalize to unseen anomalies in sensing and dynamics. Citation:

Zhenjiang presents confidences & world models at CPS Week
—
Zhenjiang Mao travelled all the way to Brittany in France to present his recent contributions at the CPS-IoT Week 2026. First, Zhenjiang showcased his proposed PhD work on “Action Confidence Trajectories for Safety Assurance in Autonomous Systems” at the CPS-IoT Week PhD Forum. He gave a short pitch and then presented a poster, which was…
