From Natural Language Intent to Executable Control: Hierarchical Feedback-Guided LLM Planning for Multi-component Cyber-Physical Systems

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The paper introduces a hierarchical feedback framework that guides large language models (LLMs) to produce executable plans for cyber‑physical systems (CPSs) from natural language commands. It prompts LLMs to generate both a structured task plan and signal temporal logic (STL) constraints, then uses a sound algorithm to detect contradictions and provide feedback for plan revision. At execution time, diagnostic information from failed control synthesis—such as violated constraints and conflicting component assignments—is fed back to the LLM to enable task replanning, achieving an 87.9% success rate on seven heterogeneous CPS scenarios.

PLCWorld: Benchmarking LLM-Generated PLC Programs in Closed-Loop Plant Simulation

PLCWorld is a closed‑loop execution environment and benchmark that evaluates large language model (LLM)–generated programmable logic controller (PLC) programs by coupling Structured Text (ST) execution with simulated plant responses and sensor feedback. It includes 100 synthetic tasks and 473 task‑condition pairs across Motion Control and Material Handling, with difficulty levels based on control‑dependency scope. The benchmark reports Task Success and Safety Violation separately and validates results through practitioner review, reference programs, counterexamples, and comparisons with independent ST runtimes, revealing performance differences among six LLMs and four generation‑and‑verification workflows.

Large Language Models as Falsifiers for Cyber-Physical Systems

The paper introduces LLM-Falsifier, a large language model–based method for falsifying cyber‑physical system specifications written in Signal Temporal Logic (STL). By exposing the LLM to semantic cues such as natural‑language names, output trajectories, and critical‑time witnesses, the approach performs smarter, sample‑efficient robustness searches. On ARCH‑COMP benchmarks, LLM‑Falsifier outperforms existing tools across 14 of 21 specifications, requiring fewer simulations to find counterexamples.

Control-Data Flow Separation: Stable Prompt Optimization in Multi-Agent LLMs

The paper introduces control‑data flow separation to improve prompt optimization in multi‑agent large language model systems. By representing execution protocols as typed, validated program objects and keeping task‑relevant content as unstructured language, the method prevents prompt edits from corrupting critical routing, formatting, or termination signals. Experiments on synthetic reasoning, collaborative review generation, and insurance rating workflows show that this approach maintains 100% protocol validity while consistently enhancing task performance.
