• Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) trained using massive text datasets have recently shown promise in generating action plans for robotic agents from high level text queries. However, these models typically do not consider the robot's environment, resulting in generated plans that may not actually be executable, due to ambiguities in the planned actions or environmental constraints. In this paper, we propose an approach to generate environmentally-aware action plans that agents are better able to execute. Our approach involves integrating environmental objects and object relations as additional inputs into LLM action plan generation to provide the system with an awareness of its surroundings, resulting in plans where each generated action is mapped to objects present in the scene. We also design a novel scoring function that, along with generating the action steps and associating them with objects, helps the system disambiguate among object instances and take into account their states. We evaluated our approach using the VirtualHome simulator and the ActivityPrograms knowledge base and found that action plans generated from our system had a 310% improvement in executability and a 147% improvement in correctness over prior work. The complete code and a demo of our method is publicly available at https://github.com/hri-ironlab/scene_aware_language_planner.

  Existing LLM agent systems typically select actions from a fixed and predefined set at every step. We propose an LLM agent framework that enables the dynamic creation and composition of actions in an online manner. Our experiments on the GAIA benchmark demonstrate that this framework offers significantly greater flexibility and outperforms previous methods.

  Planning in textual environments has been shown to be a long-standing challenge even for current models. We propose PDDLEGO that iteratively construct a planning representation that can lead to a partial plan for a given sub-goal. We show that plans produced by few-shot PDDLEGO are 43% more efficient than generating plans end-to-end on the Coin Collector simulation.

  We propose a TAsk Planing Agent (TaPA) in embodied tasks for grounded planning with physical scene constraint. During inference, we discover the objects in the scene by extending open-vocabulary object detectors to multi-view RGB images collected in different achievable locations. Experimental results show that the generated plan from our TaPA framework can achieve higher success rate than LLaVA and GPT-3.5 by a sizable margin.

  We investigate the possibility of grounding high-level tasks, expressed in natural language, to a chosen set of actionable steps. We find that if pre-trained LMs are large enough and prompted appropriately, they can effectively decompose high-level tasks into low-level plans. We propose a procedure that conditions on existing demonstrations and semantically translates the plans to admissible actions.
