Automating the Design of Embodied AgentArchitectures
Embodied agents are typically built as hand-designed compositions of perception, memory, planning, and action modules. This modularity exposes a large architectural design space, but current systems still rely on researcher intuition to choose where information is stored, how observations are processed, and how model calls are connected.

Demonstration-Free Robotic Control via LLM Agents
arXiv:2601. 20334v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Robotic manipulation has increasingly adopted vision-language-action (VLA) models, which achieve strong performance but typically require task-specific demonstrations and fine-tuning, and often generalize poorly under domain shift.

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.

ATP-Bench: Towards Agentic Tool Planning for MLLM Interleaved Generation
ATP‑Bench proposes a new benchmark for evaluating agentic tool planning in multimodal large language models (MLLMs) that generate interleaved text-and-image responses. The benchmark contains 7,702 QA pairs, including 1,592 visual‑question‑answer pairs, across eight categories and 25 visual‑critical intents, all verified by humans. A Multi‑Agent MLLM‑as‑a‑Judge (MAM) system is introduced to assess tool‑call precision, missed opportunities, and overall response quality without relying on ground‑truth references.

Neural Procedural Memory: Empowering LLM Agents with Implicit Activation Steering
While Large Language Models (LLMs) excel as static solvers, transforming them into autonomous agents remains challenging. This transition requires continuous environmental interaction, yet current agents lack the necessary persistent procedural memory.

Long-Horizon Autonomous Architecture Research with a Language-Model Agent: A Behavioural Case Study
We study what happens when a single general-purpose large language model acts as the sole researcher on a long-horizon neural architecture design problem. The agent receives a scientific question, an initial hypothesis and motivation, a compute budget, and research affordances (source and experiment management, experiment tracking, literature access, and persistent memory), then autonomously proposes, implements, evaluates, and records experiments over an extended period.

Inferring the Unspoken: Aligning Embodied Agents with Implicit Preferences
The paper "Inferring the Unspoken: Aligning Embodied Agents with Implicit Preferences" addresses the challenge of natural-language instructions that omit details needed for embodied action. It introduces the Preference-based Planning (PbP) benchmark, comprising 5,000 evaluation groups and 290 preferences across three levels, to systematically evaluate agents’ ability to infer latent user preferences from a few demonstrations. The authors propose the two-stage Inferring the Unspoken (InTU) framework, which first verbalizes inferred preferences from multimodal demonstrations and then generates action plans conditioned on that explicit representation, showing that explicit verbalization improves alignment and robustness compared to direct end-to-end planning.

Neurosymbolic Embodied Agents
Language and vision-language models generate plausible embodied plans but do not guarantee executability, as their outputs can violate environment dynamics or act on incorrectly grounded entities. We present a neurosymbolic agent that factors long-horizon household tasks into task-directed visual exploration and constrained symbolic planning.
