The paper introduces REA, a unified runtime that integrates a deliberative foundation model (System 2), an embodied router (System 1), and fast reactive policies (System 0) for embodied agents. REA avoids blocking fast execution by using a route memory, a judge gate, and a shared‑budget escalation ladder, enabling asynchronous coordination between the brain and reflexes. Experiments on LIBERO‑Pro, RoboTwin 2.0, BEHAVIOR‑1K, and a real Unitree G1 humanoid show that REA achieves higher success rates and reduces control steps and time compared to single‑policy baselines.

EmbodiedSkills is a unified framework that treats each skill decision as an execution proposal, checking prerequisites and verifying outcomes during long‑horizon vision‑language‑action tasks. It connects high‑level skill selection, bounded low‑level VLA execution, and post‑action verification through a fixed executable‑skill interface, enabling easy replacement of low‑level policies and recording of structured trajectories for supervision and adaptation. Instantiated with Qwen3‑VL and OpenPI/pi0.5 on RoboTwin 2.0 and LIBERO, the framework achieves high success rates (86.20% and 97.40% respectively) and demonstrates effective memory‑dependent task performance.

OmniBrain-0 is a lightweight, unified embodied agent that coordinates manipulation and navigation through a shared high‑level decision model. It integrates task understanding, planning, progress tracking, and feedback‑driven recovery, and is trained via embodied pretraining, domain‑specialized agent distillation, and multi‑teacher on‑policy distillation. The framework also introduces Rubric‑Guided Recursive Self‑Improvement, a data flywheel that refines rubrics and trajectories for continual domain‑expert updates, enabling efficient transfer and consolidation of embodied capabilities across multiple benchmarks and real‑world tasks.
arXiv:2610.02351v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: ReAct-based agents typically rely on a single LLM policy to propose actions, interact with the environment, and decide when a task is complete. This co...
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.
The paper introduces neuro‑symbolic computer use, a method that learns reusable policies to execute recurring computer workflows efficiently. Instead of re‑planning each run, the learned policy encodes stable decisions (ordering, variables, loops, branches) into executable code while delegating observation‑dependent decisions to neural models. Using neuro‑symbolic policy iteration, the approach iteratively refines the policy from a single agent trajectory, diagnoses failures, and revises the code with a coding model, achieving superior Pass^3 scores and significant reductions in per‑run cost and latency on OSWorld‑Verified and ScienceBoard benchmarks.
FluxVLA Engine is an open, configuration‑driven platform that unifies the fragmented components of embodied policy development—datasets, visual‑language and world models, action heads, learning methods, distributed training, simulation evaluation, inference, and robot interfaces—into a reproducible data‑to‑deployment workflow. It adds features such as compositional dual‑arm simulation, scalable automatic data generation, human‑in‑the‑loop rollout and correction, Real‑Time Chunking for fast inference, and lightweight remote GPU serving, thereby linking offline learning, simulation validation, online correction, and real‑robot execution under shared, auditable contracts. The engine aims to eliminate engineering bottlenecks that currently separate promising embodied‑learning algorithms from reliable, reproducible deployment.
The paper proposes a new paradigm called Code-Only-as-Policy (COAP), treating the embodied world as a Turing machine where the robot and environment state are the tape and the policy is the code. COAP replaces traditional vision-language agents by using code to measure, track, and decide based on camera images and proprioception, enabling explicit state storage, fast execution, and extensibility across tasks. On RoboDojo’s 42 bimanual tasks, the COAP library achieved a 70.24% success rate without a model at test time.
NavGPT-3 is a hierarchical navigation runtime that links a large language model trained with long‑horizon reinforcement learning to a low‑latency action policy, enabling an embodied agent to reason, act, and monitor in parallel threads. The system’s OS‑like scheduler selects which thread controls the robot, allowing rapid interruption and reaction to real‑world events. With the NavGPT VLA action policy, the complete harness achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance on R2R‑CE and matches human performance on RxR‑CE, demonstrating a significant advance in autonomous navigation.
arXiv:2606. 17511v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Robot learning and embodied agents now require simulation to serve as a shared execution substrate linking control, skills, and planning, not only as a renderer, controller testbed, or fixed task environment.
