Adaptive Cost-Sensitive Machine Learning for Autonomous Robot Navigation Failure Prediction: When Not All Errors Are Equal
Autonomous robot navigation failures differ not only in categorical severity but also in the physical context in which they occur. A near-miss at low speed under reliable sensing is not equivalent to the same event during rapid motion, close obstacle approach or degraded perception. This paper reframes navigation failure prediction as consequence-sensitive forecasting. We first establish a fixed baseline in which training weights are modulated by categorical severity, then introduce an adaptive extension defining a state-dependent consequence function combining severity with normalised velocity, obstacle proximity and sensing uncertainty, together with a risk-sensitivity term that rises a...
