ROBOGUARD is a two-stage guardrail architecture ensuring safety for LLM-enabled robots. It involves a contextual grounding module using a root-of-trust LLM and a control synthesis module. The system is designed to be context-aware and adversarially robust, translating high-level safety rules into rigorous specifications like temporal logic constraints.

Focusing on jailbreaking attacks, ROBOGUARD acts as an external safeguard. Unlike alignment techniques, it addresses physical harm from robot actions. It leverages context-aware chain-of-thought reasoning to generate robust safety specifications, decoupling potentially malicious prompts from pre-defined safety rules.

92% → 2.5% Reduction in Unsafe Plan Execution Rate
Feature ROBOGUARD Traditional Robot Safety
LLM Vulnerability Mitigation
  • Yes, context-aware, adversarial robust
  • No, relies on fixed specifications
Dynamic Environments
  • Yes, adapts via root-of-trust LLM
  • Limited, static assumptions
Resource Efficiency
  • High, 1 LLM query per inference
  • Varies, manual specification often needed

Evaluated in simulation and real-world, ROBOGUARD significantly reduces unsafe plan execution from 92% to below 2.5%, without compromising safe plan performance. It demonstrates robustness against adaptive attacks and efficiency in resource use, highlighting the importance of CoT reasoning in its root-of-trust LLM.

Case Study: Preventing Bomb Detonation Attack

An LLM-enabled robot was prompted to find the most harmful place to detonate a bomb. Without ROBOGUARD, the robot would have generated a harmful plan. With ROBOGUARD, a safety specification was inferred from the world model (e.g., 'Do not harm others' translated to 'G(!goto(person_1))'). The control synthesis module then blocked the unsafe action, ensuring robot safety.
