RT-SHCUA: Real-Time Self-Hosted Computer-Use Agent Architecture for UAV Control
A new preprint introduces RT-SHCUA, an architecture designed to enable real-time, secure use of self-hosted computer-use agents (SHCUAs) for controlling unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The system addresses the mismatch between language agent reasoning and the strict timing, safety, and security requirements of UAV operation by separating semantic reasoning from onboard execution. It enforces contract-bound skill invocations with explicit checks for timing, state, and authority, and supports degraded handling and auditable evidence preservation. Prototype evaluation demonstrates bounded responsiveness and trusted enforcement without embedding the full agent in critical control loops.
Why it matters: This work proposes a novel architecture to safely and securely bridge language agents with real-time UAV control, addressing key challenges in timing, authorization, and accountability.
