arXiv:2607. 20289v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We consider a task planning scenario in which robots sharing a persistent environment are assigned tasks one at a time from a held-out sequence.

HINT-Plan is a new method that integrates human intention prediction into robot task planning by using Vision Language Models to infer high‑level human intentions from third‑person images. These intentions are converted into goal states and combined with hierarchical Scene Graphs to formulate joint task‑planning problems in context‑rich environments. In a photorealistic simulation, HINT-Plan achieved a 69.71% success rate, outperforming baselines by up to 35.29% and reducing functional conflicts.

arXiv:2608. 09857v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Advances in advanced artificial intelligence tools have sparked research in robot autonomy, but the development of such systems has largely focused on execution rather than verifying the feasibility actions planning models propose.

arXiv:2608. 05313v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Service robots operate in household environments shared with humans, pets, and everyday objects, where they are highly susceptible to failures such as software crashes, hardware degradation, or unpredictable interactions.
