iAm.md: Robot Skill Self-Assessment through Agentic Introspection for Unknown Open-Vocabulary Domains

Read the original on arXiv AI →

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.

When State Becomes an Attack Surface: State-Semantic Injection in LLM-Driven Embodied Agents

arXiv:2608. 16806v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated capabilities in in-context learning, task decomposition, step-by-step reasoning, and code generation, driving their gradual evolution from text generation models into the core of agents capable of perceiving environments, invoking tools, and executing tasks.

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.

A Few Words Go a Long Way: Language Guided Robot Policy Synthesis

arXiv:2607. 23784v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While vision-language-action models have demonstrated impressive zero-shot manipulation capabilities, they remain fundamentally black box policies that are difficult to interpret, adapt, or correct when they inevitably fail.
