Article Summary

Vision-language-action (VLA) models can generate task-oriented robot actions, but they do not guarantee safe execution in obstacle-rich manipulation scenes. Although CBF-QP safety filters can locally project unsafe actions into a safe set, such correction may push the robot away from the learned task trajectory and leave the VLA policy without a reliable recovery direction. We propose Route-Guided CBF-QP Repair, a post-hoc repair module that uses the short-horizon action chunk predicted by the VLA to detect blocked nominal trajectories and generate entry-exit-rejoin guidance around obstacles. The selected route is added to the CBF-QP objective as a soft guidance term, while the CBF safety constraint remains hard. On SafeLIBERO, our method improves collision avoidance, task success, and SafeSuccess compared with AEGIS. Our project page is available at GitHub.
