arXiv:2510. 00182v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: While we know that large language models (LLMs) can solve some planning problems, we do not understand the extent of these capabilities for robotics.

arXiv:2606. 17073v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While commonsense knowledge may suffice for virtual agents, embodied robots interacting with humans require grounded and semantically rich representations of both their environment and their own physical embodiment.

arXiv:2512. 19178v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Bridging the gap between natural language commands and autonomous execution in unstructured environments remains an open challenge for robotics.

arXiv:2608. 16806v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated capabilities in in-context learning, task decomposition, step-by-step reasoning, and code generation, driving their gradual evolution from text generation models into the core of agents capable of perceiving environments, invoking tools, and executing tasks.

arXiv:2607. 08024v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-horizon robot planning requires jointly reasoning over semantic task structure and geometric feasibility.

arXiv:2606. 10267v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Hierarchical vision-language-action (Hi-VLA) systems have emerged as a promising paradigm for complex robot manipulation, by using high-level VLM planners to decompose tasks into language subgoals executed by low-level VLA controllers.

arXiv:2608. 16637v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLMs remain unreliable for long-horizon planning, often generating logically inconsistent or non-applicable plans.

arXiv:2601. 20334v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Robotic manipulation has increasingly adopted vision-language-action (VLA) models, which achieve strong performance but typically require task-specific demonstrations and fine-tuning, and often generalize poorly under domain shift.
By Brian Y. Tsui, Alan Y. Fang, Tiffany J. Hwu
arXiv:2606. 00104v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Foundation models are increasingly used to drive autonomous systems, yet existing approaches either keep the model in a tight control loop, raising latency and hallucination risk, or compile natural language into opaque end-to-end policies that are hard to explain, constraint and require domain-specific datasets and fine-tuning.
By Erdem Uysal, Timo Kehrer, Sebastiano Panichella
arXiv:2607. 03449v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Current Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models excel at robotic manipulation but often struggle with non-Markovian tasks requiring long-term memory and reasoning due to their reliance on immediate observations.
