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: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.

The paper introduces iAm.md, a Markdown-based framework that enables robot skill self-assessment through agentic introspection. By mapping open‑vocabulary semantic detections and object segmentations to persistent records, the system anchors autonomous behavior generation in deployment evidence, mitigating grounding failures. Experiments on a simulated TIAGo robot demonstrate that this representation supports both skill self‑assessment and executable task generalization for navigation‑and‑manipulation tasks.
RoboSPA is a large-scale robotic manipulation dataset and benchmark designed to evaluate Vision‑Language‑Action models on fine‑grained spatial reasoning and long‑horizon procedural planning. It contains 10 task categories, 56 base tasks, and 280 variants across five difficulty levels, with 527K trajectories collected from multiple embodiments and scenes. The benchmark introduces diagnostic metrics beyond binary success, revealing that current VLA models struggle with complex spatial relations, precise execution, and memory‑intensive planning.

The paper introduces an LLM chaining architecture for General Purpose Service Robots that splits instruction classification and action generation into two stages, cutting prompt length by about 45% and boosting planning consistency. Evaluation on 100 synthetic GPSR commands across three language models shows consistent improvements over single-prompt methods, with up to +37 percentage points gain on local models. Real‑robot trials on the Toyota HSR confirm that while planning success improves, execution-layer failures remain the main obstacle to full task completion.
