How Well Do Latent World Models Understand Partially Observable Safety Constraints?

arXiv:2510.06492v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Latent world models are a promising approach for learning state representations and dynamics directly from high-dimensional observations, enabling robot control in hard-to-model settings. However, control performance ultimately depends on the latent representation encoding the required information for the task. In this work, we study latent-space safe control problems and show how partial observability can induce control failures when...
