1. Don’t Drop the BATON: Long-Horizon Robot Manipulation via Agentic Subtask Exploration and Transition-aware Memory

一句话结论

BATON通过子任务探索和过渡感知记忆显著提升长期机器人操作成功率。

一段话:BATON针对长期机器人操作中错误累积和子任务约束问题,提出将子任务作为探索单位,使探索成本从乘法(T^K)降至加法(T*K),失败可精准归因单个阶段;同时引入过渡感知记忆,通过验证代理控制VLA调用和跨子任务交接机制,确保子任务成功形式可被后续使用。在RoboMemArena基准测试中,任务成功率提升11.6%,累积成功率提升14.9%。

摘要 Long-horizon robot manipulation chains many contact-rich skills into one multi-stage task. Vision-language-action (VLA) models increasingly master the individual skills, yet the chain still fails: errors compound beyond the policy's ability to correct, and one subtask silently constrains the next. A promising recipe freezes the VLA and puts an LLM agent in charge: it plans in language, moves in free space with analytic primitives, invokes the VLA only for contact-rich segments, and writes adaptation into language memory. Applied to long horizons, it breaks twice. (1) Competence comes from whole-task exploration at test time, whose cost is multiplicative in stages: if one stage needs T episodes, a K-stage task needs about T^K, and a failure does not reveal which stage caused it. (2) It has no representation of transitions: the VLA primitive carries an exit but no entry condition, so a subtask can succeed in a form its successor cannot use. We present BATON. Against (1), BATON makes the subtask the unit of exploration: each is explored in the cheap short-horizon regime and its solution stored in memory; a long-horizon trajectory is then composed from these solutions rather than discovered whole. Cost becomes additive (T*K) and every failure is attributed to a single stage. Against (2), BATON equips exploration with a transition-aware memory. Within a subtask, a verifier agent governs the invocation transition: the VLA is called only after the wrist view confirms the scene is ready. Across subtasks, a handoff transition restores an entry state disturbed by the predecessor's residue, and a lookahead transition selects the strategy whose outcome the successor can inherit. No parameters are updated. On the long-horizon benchmark RoboMemArena, BATON improves task success by 11.6% and cumulative success by 14.9% over the SoTA.

摘要 Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated capabilities in in-context learning, task decomposition, step-by-step reasoning, and code generation, driving their gradual evolution from text generation models into the core of agents capable of perceiving environments, invoking tools, and executing tasks. Traditional LLM Agents typically obtain information through webpages, documents, databases, or external tools and generate corresponding invocation sequences according to user goals; when this technology is further integrated with robotic systems, large language models begin to undertake functions such as task understanding, high-level planning, and behavioral decision-making. SayCan combines the task reasoning capability of language models with the affordances of robotic skills, while Code as Policies and ProgPrompt generate robot task plans through policy code and programmatic prompting, respectively, and VoxPoser uses language models and vision-language models to construct three-dimensional value maps to guide robotic manipulation \cite{6,7,8,9}. Vision-language-action models such as PaLM-E, RT-2, and GR00T N1 further strengthen the connection among language, visual perception, and robotic actions \cite{10,11,12}. In such LLM-driven embodied agents, the model not only needs to understand user instructions, but also needs to combine scene states, object attributes, spatial relations, and execution feedback to complete task grounding, and then hand the generated action plan to skill libraries, motion planners, or controllers for execution.
