The paper introduces Hierarchical Reinforcement and Collective Learning (HRCL), a framework that combines multi‑agent reinforcement learning (MARL) with decentralized coordination. HRCL uses MARL at a high level to generate strategic guidance that limits the decision space for low‑level agents, enabling efficient short‑term coordination while considering long‑term effects. Experiments on synthetic, energy‑management, and drone‑swarm scenarios demonstrate faster convergence and significant reductions in system‑wide and individual costs compared to standalone MARL.

cuArms is a GPU-accelerated conflict-based planner designed for multi-arm manipulation tasks. It decomposes the search space using reusable multi-modal roadmaps for each robot and resolves conflicts and deadlocks via a lazy search, while a high-level scheduler proposes candidate skeletons for joint optimization of task assignment, schedules, motions, and manipulation skills. Experimental results demonstrate real-time initial solutions and anytime improvements in motion quality and scheduling, outperforming previous methods that required extensive domain-specific training.
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.
