HyPOLE: Hyperproperty-Guided Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning under Partial Observation

arXiv:2606. 30966v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Formal specification is a powerful tool to guide the learning process and provides significant advantages over reward shaping: (1) mathematical rigor; (2) expressiveness to specify objectives and constraints, and (3) the ability to define tactics to achieve objectives.

Embodied CAD: Solver-Grounded LLM Agents for Parametric B-Rep Assembly Modeling

arXiv:2606. 31252v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models can write plausible CAD scripts, but reliable industrial CAD modeling requires more than syntactically valid code: every feature, placement, and assembly relation must be accepted by an exact geometric kernel while remaining editable as parametric boundary representation geometry.

Contrastive Reflection for Iterative Prompt Optimization

arXiv:2606. 30840v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM agents are becoming central to information retrieval: they issue retrieval queries, synthesize answers, and increasingly serve as judges for IR evaluation.

Agentic RAG-VLM: Affordance-Aware Retrieval-Augmented Generation with Self-Reflective Planning for Robotic Grasping

arXiv:2606. 31200v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Generalizable robotic grasping in cluttered environments is essential for deploying manipulators in unstructured human spaces, yet existing VLM-based methods rely on visual similarity for object matching, neglecting physical affordances such as handle graspability and material fragility, and operate open-loop without spatial reasoning or failure recovery, limiting their effectiveness when objects are densely packed or physically diverse.

FinPersona-Bench: A Benchmark for Longitudinal Psychometric Stability of Autonomous Financial Agents

arXiv:2606. 31522v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed as autonomous financial agents initialized with explicit behavioral mandates such as "preserve capital" or "avoid speculative bets" that are meant to govern every decision throughout deployment.

Motion Planning in Compressed Representation Spaces

arXiv:2606. 30940v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deep learning methods have vastly expanded the capabilities of motion planning in robotics applications, as learning priors from large-scale data has been shown to be essential in capturing the highly complex behavior required for solving tasks such as manipulation or navigation for autonomous vehicles.
