The combination of limited communication and computing resources with unreliable wireless links necessitates highly robust offloading strategies. Traditional approaches that merely maximize expected network utility often fail to account for the stochastic link failures in dynamic sensing systems, resulting in severe utility degradation. To address this, we propose a risk-averse task offloading framework that systematically manages uncertainties in sensing-enabled mobile edge computing. We formulate a joint optimization problem that maximizes expected total task reward, subject to a conditional value-at-risk (CVaR) constraint, effectively mitigating the tail risk of communication task failures. We solve the resulting optimization problem via a novel distributional dynamic programming (DDP) approach. To improve computational efficiency, we integrate Pareto Frontier pruning based on first-order stochastic dominance (FSD) alongside scaling and rounding approximations. Evaluation results confirm that our framework successfully navigates the risk-reward trade-offs in resource-constrained deployments.</p>
