The bar for safe decision-making rises as these systems enter safety-critical, real-world settings where they must perform well under uncertainty. Our work shows that physicality is a resource against the two kinds of uncertainty they face: intentional (or adversarial), where data is manipulated by malicious agents, and natural, where aspects of the environment are simply unknown. Most of this talk concerns intentional uncertainty. Here, one way to exploit physicality is by using communication as a sensor. Because the signals robots exchange are difficult to forge, they carry evidence that can be cross-validated to yield a quantifiable likelihood that an agent's data is trustworthy. This is the foundation of cy-trust, in which stochastic observations of trust model an agent's trustworthiness probabilistically from physical rather than cryptographic evidence. Each neighbor's contribution is then weighted by its trust value. Under this framework, we show that consensus, distributed optimization, and other core coordination tasks admit almost-sure convergence with bounded deviation from their nominal performance, even when malicious agents exceed half of a node's connectivity, past the classical Byzantine bound. We support this finding with both theory and hardware experiments under adversarial attack. Against natural uncertainty, we show that real-time sensing can be folded into rollout-based reinforcement learning, where the same machinery reweights futures rather than neighbors. We apply this idea to routing a fleet of robots to stochastically appearing demand and, with Project CETI, to the first autonomous robotic rendezvous with sperm whales at sea. Finally, we preview some of our future work combining trust with long-horizon sequential decision-making, targeting planning that stays provably resilient when the data informing the plan may itself be corrupted.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<em>Stephanie Gil is the John L. Loeb Associate Professor of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Harvard University and an Associate Faculty member of the Kempner Institute. Her research focuses on trust and coordination in multi-robot systems, at the intersection of robotics, communication, and learning. Her contributions have been recognized through the DARPA Young Faculty Award (2024), the Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Award (2021), and the National Science Foundation CAREER Award (2019). She was named a 2020 Sloan Research Fellow for her work at the intersection of robotics and communication.

A prominent rupture mode is self-healing slip pulses, which feature a finite slipping zone. The physics of slip pulses is qualitatively different from their expanding crack-like counterparts, as they involve the interplay between leading-edge contact breakage and trailing-edge re-strengthening (healing). The latter is intrinsically related to generic properties of frictional interactions at contacting interfaces, absent in ordinary fracture of bulk materials. In this talk, I will review a recently developed theory of two-dimensional slip pulses, which revealed intriguing dynamical properties of slip pulses and provided extensive predictions for their spatiotemporal evolution. The theoretical predictions are supported by large-scale numerical simulations and, more recently, by extensive laboratory experiments. The implications and potential applications of the theory will be discussed as time permits. <br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>References</strong>:\r\n<ol>\r\n\t<li><a href=\"https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2309374120\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"open in new window\">The dynamics of unsteady frictional slip pulses</a> [PNAS 120, e2309374120 (2023)]</li>\r\n\t<li><a href=\"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0012821X26000142\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"open in a new window\">An equation of motion for unsteady frictional slip pulses</a> [EPSL 678, 119831 (2026)]</li>\r\n\t<li><a href=\"https://arxiv.org/abs/2608.26065\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"open in a new window\">Lab earthquakes confirm the theory of frictional slip pulses</a> [arXiv:2608.26065 (2026)]</li>\r\n</ol>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Biography:</strong><br>\r\nEran Bouchbinder is a Professor at Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel.
