2026–2027 research program. Three papers targeting ICLR 2027 (submission September 2026):
Φ-Arena — the first open benchmark for VLA-vs-VLA adversarial evaluation across MuJoCo, Isaac Sim, and Genesis.
Mechanistic interpretability of self-play policies — circuit-level analysis of exploit-prone subnetworks emerging under adversarial training.
Energy-bounded adversarial games — empirical study of how hard physical resource constraints reshape emergent self-play strategies..
