用相关性检验发现：模型够强时，不确定性排序效果稳定，但难识别新场景。

Robotic systems often use predictive uncertainty to decide whether to act autonomously or defer to a fallback policy. In threshold-gated autonomy, uncertainty matters mainly through its ability to rank likely errors. Standard metrics such as expected calibration error and AUROC do not directly test whether uncertainty changes act/defer decisions. We therefore evaluate uncertainty using Spearman rank correlation, paired bootstrap equivalence testing, and act/defer agreement. Across three temporal activity-recognition benchmarks, we find a dataset-dependent competence regime below which uncertainty provides a weak and unstable error ranking. Above this regime, softmax heuristics, MC Dropout, and ensembles produce similar gating behavior, while threshold choice has a much larger effect on execution outcomes. A multi-seed embodied simulation shows the same pattern for collision rate and cost once realized autonomy is matched. Under temporal covariate shift, ranking quality remains stable, but fine grained semantic OOD detection remains near chance. These results suggest that simple uncertainty proxies can suffice for selective gating once the base model is competent, but not for semantic novelty detection.
