Toward Evidence-Driven Human-Agent-Robot Teaming for Earth-Independent Anomaly Triage

Autonomous LLM agents can pursue hidden malicious objectives through sequences of individually benign actions, making sabotage difficult to detect using standard trajectory-level monitoring. Existing approaches either evaluate complete trajectories in a single pass or partition them into independently scored windows, limiting their ability to connect evidence across temporally distant actions. We propose TRACE, a monitoring framework for long-horizon LLM agent trajectories. TRACE operates through a TIJ (Triage-Inspect-Judge) loop that identifies high-signal regions, performs targeted inspection while maintaining accumulated evidence across reasoning steps, and synthesizes a trajectory-level verdict. We evaluate TRACE on ten task domains from SHADE-Arena against state-of-the-art baselines. TRACE achieves an aggregate F1 of 0.713 and recall of 0.844, with the largest gains on tasks requiring long-range evidence linking.

End-to-end research agents can now produce complete scientific papers, yet manuscript claims often diverge from executed experiments. This gap is structural: research state, failure histories, and claim-evidence alignment are not maintained as persistent, verifiable state across long-horizon pipelines. We present YouRA (Your Research Agent), an architecture for stateful, evidence-traceable autonomous research. YouRA preserves research state, execution evidence, and failure history across the research trajectory by integrating three components: a Verification State Architecture (VSA) that tracks hypotheses, gates, and evidence pointers; an Independent Controller that turns state and reflection records into lifecycle, recovery, and debate/review control while separating control from execution; and Stateful Reflection that logs failures as structured lessons and routes recovery through bounded repair, redesign, or reset. On MLR-Bench's predefined ten-task end-to-end subset, YouRA improves over both MLR-Agent and AI Scientist V2 on scalar Overall across all three matched backbones. An automated diagnostic using MLR-Bench's hallucination taxonomy reports intersection/union counts for four fact-based failure types, and data-provenance diagnostic shows more real-data-based outputs. Ablating each of the four components (the VSA, the Independent Controller, MCP tool access, and reflection-guided recovery) supports their separable contributions. Removing either core-state component drops YouRA below the full system. Code: https://github.com/PrayPrey/Your-Research-Agent.

Robots can recall prior failures without knowing whether recalled evidence remains valid, conflicts with current observations, or is sufficient to guide a decision. We present CoreSense, a robot-system integration architecture that combines traceable episodic evidence with a conflict-aware belief gate and bounded, auditable recommendations. The gate checks scope, provenance, time, contradiction, and support before it permits PROCEED, requests re-observation, abstains, or escalates. Evaluation follows three complementary layers without commanding a physical robot: offline public real-robot data, a frozen signal-level simulation, and a live cloud deployment path. On CableTrace-120 and BotFails-200, belief gating reduces protocol-defined unsafe proceeds from 20% and 40% to 0%. A disjointly calibrated raw-video policy also reaches 0% unsafe proceed, but overblocks every nominal episode. On public data, a ViFailback-BotFails visual detector reaches 0.778 AUROC yet remains all-blocking, whereas cycle-disjoint UR3 telemetry for protective stops yields 0% unsafe proceed, 36.1% overblocking, and 61.9% coverage; grip-loss transfer remains a negative result. Controlled physical corroboration yields 3.3%, 0%, and 42.0%, while conflict-aware fusion yields 4.7%, 0%, and 42.8%. Finally, 20/20 cloud recalls validate a CockroachDB Cloud-Amazon Bedrock deployment path. The evidence supports an auditable integration pattern, not autonomous recovery or certified safety.
