Robots That Learn to Collaborate and Compete
![The study demonstrates that simulation-to-real transfer performance, while initially promising, inevitably degrades as increasingly complex robotic tasks are attempted, highlighting the persistent challenges of bridging the reality gap despite advancements in [latex]Sim2Real[/latex] methodologies.](https://arxiv.org/html/2602.21119v1/x2.png)
New research demonstrates a robotic platform where teams of agents learn to work together and against each other in real-world scenarios.
When Seeing Influences Hearing: Unmasking Bias in AI’s Multimodal Perception
![The study characterizes transformer dynamics through a physical testbed-a multi-oscillator system predicting Lorenz chaotic time-series-and quantifies modality preference using dynamical SHAP values, [latex]\phi(Y) - \phi(X)[/latex], represented as directional arrows ranging from -90° to 90° to indicate the relative contribution of each input modality; analysis of prediction accuracy, visualized through embedding spaces at low ([latex]\beta_{self}, \beta_{cross} = (10^{-4}, 10^{-4})[/latex]) and high ([latex]\beta_{self}, \beta_{cross} = (10^{0}, 10^{0})[/latex]) attention levels-specifically examining time series data between t=50 and t=70-reveals how attention mechanisms influence the model’s reliance on different input modalities and the resulting prediction error.](https://arxiv.org/html/2602.20624v1/figures/fig6_0111.jpg)
New research reveals that distortions in the internal dynamics of artificial intelligence systems can lead to disproportionate reliance on certain types of data, causing AI to exhibit predictable biases when processing information from multiple sources.
