• Abstract summary: We propose a hierarchical framework that combines the deep language comprehension of large language models with the adaptive action-execution capabilities of reinforcement learning agents. We have demonstrated the effectiveness of our approach in two different environments: in IGLU, where agents are instructed to build structures, and in Crafter, where agents perform tasks and interact with objects in the surrounding environment according to language commands.

• Abstract: In this study, we address the issue of enabling an artificial intelligence agent to execute complex language instructions within virtual environments. In our framework, we assume that these instructions involve intricate linguistic structures and multiple interdependent tasks that must be navigated successfully to achieve the desired outcomes. To effectively manage these complexities, we propose a hierarchical framework that combines the deep language comprehension of large language models with the adaptive action-execution capabilities of reinforcement learning agents. The language module (based on LLM) translates the language instruction into a high-level action plan, which is then executed by a pre-trained reinforcement learning agent. We have demonstrated the effectiveness of our approach in two different environments: in IGLU, where agents are instructed to build structures, and in Crafter, where agents perform tasks and interact with objects in the surrounding environment according to language commands.

  Generative AI has transformed content creation across text, images, and music, showcasing capabilities in following instructions through prompting. This article explores why neurosymbolic AI offers a better path to enhance the instructability of Large Language Models (LLMs) We show that neurosymbolic approach enhances the reliability and context-awareness of task execution, enabling LLMs to dynamically interpret and respond to a wider range of instructional contexts with greater precision and flexibility.

  We introduce an explainable behavior cloning agent, named Ex-PERACT, specifically designed for manipulation tasks. At the top level, the model is tasked with learning a discrete skill code, while at the bottom level, the policy network translates the problem into a voxelized grid and maps the discretized actions to voxel grids. We evaluate our method across eight challenging manipulation tasks utilizing the RLBench benchmark, demonstrating that Ex-PERACT not only achieves competitive policy performance but also effectively bridges the gap between human instructions and machine execution in complex environments.
