A Real-Time Neuro-Symbolic Ethical Governor for Safe Decision Control in Autonomous Robotic Manipulation

ArXi:2603.14221v1 Announce Type: cross Ethical decision governance has become a critical requirement for autonomous robotic systems operating in human-centered and safety-sensitive environments. This paper presents a real-time neuro-symbolic ethical governor designed to enable risk-aware supervisory control in autonomous robotic manipulation tasks. The proposed framework integrates transformer-based ethical reasoning with a probabilistic ethical risk field formulation and a threshold-based override control mechanism.
