arXiv:2607. 03449v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Current Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models excel at robotic manipulation but often struggle with non-Markovian tasks requiring long-term memory and reasoning due to their reliance on immediate observations.

The paper introduces RARRL, a hierarchical framework that learns when and how an embodied robotic agent should invoke large language model reasoning. By adaptively deciding whether to reason, selecting the reasoning role, and allocating computational budget based on observations, execution history, and remaining resources, RARRL improves task success rates and reduces execution latency. Experiments on the ALFRED benchmark demonstrate that this resource‑aware orchestration outperforms fixed or heuristic reasoning strategies, highlighting the importance of adaptive reasoning control for reliable robotic agents.

The paper argues that large language models need adaptive reasoning rather than fixed reasoning budgets. It shows that over‑reasoning leads to high computational cost without accuracy gains, while under‑reasoning results in incorrect or incomplete solutions. The authors evaluate these failure modes on MATH‑500 and the GAIA benchmark, highlighting the need for dynamic reasoning allocation in agentic AI systems.
