PACE: Adaptive Budget Allocation for Time-Efficient Embodied Planning

arXiv:2608. 03034v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reasoning-enhanced large language models have achieved remarkable improvements in planning tasks, yet their deployment in embodied systems remains impractical due to prohibitive inference delays-often exceeding minutes per planning instance.

When Should a Robot Think? Resource-Aware Reasoning via Reinforcement Learning for Embodied Robotic Decision-Making

The paper introduces RARRL, a hierarchical framework that learns when and how an embodied robotic agent should invoke large language model reasoning. By adaptively deciding whether to reason, selecting the reasoning role, and allocating computational budget based on observations, execution history, and remaining resources, RARRL improves task success rates and reduces execution latency. Experiments on the ALFRED benchmark demonstrate that this resource‑aware orchestration outperforms fixed or heuristic reasoning strategies, highlighting the importance of adaptive reasoning control for reliable robotic agents.

Don't Overthink, Don't Underthink: Toward Adaptive Reasoning in Agentic AI

The paper argues that large language models need adaptive reasoning rather than fixed reasoning budgets. It shows that over‑reasoning leads to high computational cost without accuracy gains, while under‑reasoning results in incorrect or incomplete solutions. The authors evaluate these failure modes on MATH‑500 and the GAIA benchmark, highlighting the need for dynamic reasoning allocation in agentic AI systems.

Cortex: A Bidirectionally Aligned Embodied Agent Framework for Long-horizon Manipulation

arXiv:2607. 05377v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While recent Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models show promise toward generalist manipulation policies, they struggle with long-horizon tasks due to their Markovian nature-relying solely on current observations.
