bits to atoms: red-teaming the robot age
An independent lab studies how AI systems fail when they control robots and other physical machines.
Field notes
The lab organizes its proposed work into three stages: threat modelling, red-teaming, and technical mitigation. Its risk map is intended to score physical-AI hazards by impact, tractability, and neglectedness, while experiments will use scenarios drawn from that map rather than convenience cases. The site says threat modelling is under way and reports secured grants, a research roadmap, and fundraising for experimental runs, but does not yet document completed tests or deployed safeguards.
