RoboArchitect automates the design of agent harnesses that orchestrate frozen robot policies, vision tools, and direct arm commands. By observing rollouts, diagnosing failures, and iteratively revising the harness, it improves success rates from 9.7% to 43.3% on unseen scenes and from 12.7% to 40.2% on unseen tasks without updating model weights. The evolved harness also develops persistent memory and intuitive control strategies, outperforming finetuned policies especially when the benchmark diverges from the policy’s training data.

HarnessPAI is a model‑ and embodiment‑agnostic framework that treats code as an executable, evolvable interface for Physical AI. It separates short‑term open‑loop program execution from long‑term closed‑loop evolution, using feedback to refine programs and distill reusable skills. Across various robots, HarnessPAI outperforms pure action models and code‑as‑policy baselines, achieving significant gains on tasks like LIBERO‑PRO and RoboCasa without retraining the underlying model.
HarnessPAI introduces a model‑ and embodiment‑agnostic harness framework for Physical AI that treats code as an executable, evolvable interface organizing action primitives. The framework operates on two timescales: within a rollout it executes an open‑loop program, and across rollouts it evolves a closed‑loop program using feedback to refine the program and distill reusable skills. Across diverse robotic platforms, HarnessPAI outperforms pure action models and code‑as‑policy baselines, achieving significant gains on tasks such as LIBERO‑PRO and RoboCasa, and enabling efficient expert‑data collection for further fine‑tuning.

The paper introduces URAI, a Universal Robot‑Agent Interface that separates robot control into two roles: a programming agent that writes reusable, task‑specific tools from intent, and an execution agent that calls these tools in a feedback loop. This design keeps high‑level decision making in the model while delegating low‑level motion to code, allowing tool revisions to persist across episodes without retraining the foundation model. Experiments on RoboDojo and AgileX tasks show significant gains in success rate, speed, and token efficiency compared to direct fingertip control and pre‑written programs.
Recently, LLM-based autonomous agents have shown strong capabilities in iteratively generating, evaluating, and refining executable solutions. In robotic manipulation, Code-as-Policy lets these agents...

arXiv:2606. 19980v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Achieving dexterous robotic manipulation in the real world heavily relies on human supervision and algorithm engineering, which becomes a central bottleneck in the pursuit of general physical intelligence.
RoboAuto is a framework that enhances autonomous robot program search by explicitly incorporating physical understanding at the object, scene, and interaction levels. It uses a hierarchical knowledge base of executable skills and object-centric affordances, scene grounding to map knowledge to the current environment, and multi-stage planning with self-designed experiments to verify physical effects and resolve uncertainties. The approach achieves higher success rates than prior methods on multiple benchmark tasks and demonstrates transferability across simulators and embodiments.
Reconstruct, Practice, Go Real (RPG) is a framework that enables autonomous improvement of robot execution systems without updating model weights. RPG identifies manipulation capabilities from offline data, creates simulation practice tasks, and uses feedback to diagnose failures, develop new symbolic skills, refine existing ones, and revise the system prompt. Across 22 manipulation tasks, RPG raises task success from 28.6% after the first practice round to 95.0% after 15 rounds, outperforming baselines and achieving perfect success on 30 physical trials after calibration.
