Humanoid robots hold great promise as general-purpose agents in human-centered environments, yet generalist vision-language-action (VLA) foundation models are not readily applicable to humanoid whole-body loco-manipulation. The high dimensionality and interdependence of humanoid motions make it challenging for conventional single-stage VLA architectures to coordinate locomotion, waist posture, and dual-arm manipulation effectively.
Language and vision-language models generate plausible embodied plans but do not guarantee executability, as their outputs can violate environment dynamics or act on incorrectly grounded entities. We present a neurosymbolic agent that factors long-horizon household tasks into task-directed visual exploration and constrained symbolic planning.
This paper presents Chronocooked, a reinforcement learning (RL) benchmark suite for studying implicit interval timing in RL agents. Inspired by Overcooked, the suite comprises cooking scenarios that require temporal decision making.
Long-horizon embodied tasks require LLM agents to iteratively decompose high-level goals, revise plans in response to environmental feedback, and ground leaf-level subgoals into valid executable actions. Recursive context-management methods such as ReCAP improve planning stability through multi-level task decomposition and parent-node refinement, but still repeatedly invoke the LLM at leaf nodes to ground atomic subtasks into exact valid actions.
