- What: AI overthinking attack can slow down robots
- Impact: Robots using vision-language models may be vulnerable to delays
Robots that read the world through cameras now lean on large vision-language models to interpret what they see and decide what to do next. These models handle images and text together, so any words that fall inside the camera frame become part of the input. A stop sign, a street name, a sticker on a wall.
