Show HN: Sleeper Agents in Robot Dogs and Kinetic Prompt Injections

Summary: We got Gemini Robotics 2.0 to attack a child through an evil sleeper agent (skill) that wakes up when it sees a trigger object

Hi HN - here's a cool piece of research I've done with some collaborators - the footage is running in the MUJOCO simulator, showing how the Gemini Robotics models can be prompt-injected by simple TV screens, allowing attackers to plant sleeper agents in the robot harnesses. (That trigger whenever skills trigger, just like classic LLM skills)

I'll be around to answer any questions! Love any feedback or future directions you might be interested in.
