The paper introduces STEP, a State‑Aware Task Estimator and Planner that uses multi‑modal large language models to explicitly estimate system states and predict state transitions during task planning. By forecasting future states alongside actions, STEP reduces hallucinated actions and improves task‑convergent planning. In a simulated robot assembly task, STEP outperforms the state‑of‑the‑art by 32.8% in action executability and 14.8% in final‑state error.

The paper introduces a ROS-Agent architecture that enhances task reliability and execution efficiency for open‑source LLM‑powered robotic agents. It adds a MetaTool that forces the LLM to produce a structured pseudo‑code plan before any action, storing this plan in a scratchpad to separate planning from execution. Experiments on a custom mobile robot show up to ~24% improvement in complex task completion and contextual consistency compared to the baseline.

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.

GAVEL is a framework that uses an explicit graph world model to verify and repair long‑horizon plans generated by large language models (LLMs). The graph encodes object relations, action pre‑conditions and effects, and probabilistic beliefs about unobserved object locations, allowing the system to predict action outcomes, detect violations, and repair them before execution. In experiments on BEHAVIOR‑1K, GAVEL boosts single‑task success from 41.2 % to 91.8 % and multi‑task success from 19.9 % to 92.6 %, while also reducing travel distance by about 5.4 % compared with a static variant.

Reasoning in language allows foundation models to spend more test-time compute on hard problems, such as those requiring decomposition, constraint tracking, and prediction of future consequences. Whet...
arXiv:2606. 31252v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models can write plausible CAD scripts, but reliable industrial CAD modeling requires more than syntactically valid code: every feature, placement, and assembly relation must be accepted by an exact geometric kernel while remaining editable as parametric boundary representation geometry.
