Abstract

Systems and methods described herein relate to generating a discrimination scores set based on observation data and action data obtained from a robot trained to perform a task, determining a threshold value based on the discrimination score set, and comparing a discrimination score obtained while the task is being performed with the threshold value to determine if a failure condition is present. This may be performed by utilizing random network distillation or other out-of-distribution detectors and conformal band prediction computed on a set of successful rollouts by the robot.
