Bridging Thought and Action: Taming Long-Horizon Instability in Open-Source LLM Agents with a MetaTool-Enhanced ROS Framework

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.
