ORCH: Organizational Principles Enable Collective Intelligence in Embodied AI

The paper introduces ORCH, a method that applies human organizational theory to create task‑specific hierarchical structures for large, heterogeneous embodied AI teams. Using ORCH, teams of up to 50 agents across 25 wildfire‑response missions outperformed four existing multi‑agent frameworks, achieving higher mission scores and greater execution efficiency. Both human‑designed and language‑model‑generated ORCH organizations improved performance, with hierarchical organization preserving concurrent activity while coordinating ordered transitions between mission phases.

ORCH: Organizational Principles Enable Collective Intelligence in Embodied AI

The paper introduces ORCH, a method that applies human organization theory to create task‑specific hierarchical structures for large, heterogeneous embodied AI teams. By combining concurrent and sequential interdependence, ORCH outperforms four existing multi‑agent frameworks across 25 wildfire‑response missions, improving mission outcomes, execution efficiency, exploration, and computational resource use. Both human‑designed and language‑model‑generated ORCH organizations yield significant performance gains, with hierarchical organization enabling sustained concurrent activity and coordinated transitions in long‑horizon missions.

AeroWeaver: An Embodied-Agent Harness for Weaving Aerial Skills into Distributed, Adaptive Swarm Execution

AeroWeaver is a new embodied‑agent harness that integrates large language model (LLM) decision making with the executable skills of individual UAVs, enabling distributed, adaptive swarm execution. It connects semantic mission decisions to governed skills, organizes role‑conditioned local agents for coordination, and refines skill selection online using role‑indexed state‑action‑reward experience. Experiments demonstrate that AeroWeaver maintains valid skill execution without a central joint‑action generator and supports reward‑guided, training‑free adaptive learning from accumulated execution experience.

Agensh: Scaling Organizational Intelligence to 1,024 Agents

Agensh is a new multi‑agent harness that eliminates a central orchestrator by letting workers self‑organize through a continuous cooperation loop. The system uses a shared workspace, message interface, and shared context to coordinate tasks, verify results, and merge progress asynchronously. Experiments on ProgramBench and pandoc show that scaling from 1 to 1,024 agents improves test‑pass rates by up to 49% relative, demonstrating that agent count is a viable scaling dimension for complex tasks.
