• Abstract: Vision-Language Models (VLMs) demonstrate remarkable potential in robotic manipulation, yet challenges persist in executing complex fine manipulation tasks with high speed and precision. While excelling at high-level planning, existing VLM methods struggle to guide robots through precise sequences of fine motor actions. To address this limitation, we introduce a progressive VLM planning algorithm that empowers robots to perform fast, precise, and error-correctable fine manipulation. Our method decomposes complex tasks into sub-actions and maintains three key data structures: task memory structure, 2D topology graphs, and 3D spatial networks, achieving high-precision spatial-semantic fusion. These three components collectively accumulate and store critical information throughout task execution, providing rich context for our task-oriented VLM interaction mechanism. This enables VLMs to dynamically adjust guidance based on real-time feedback, generating precise action plans and facilitating step-wise error correction. Experimental validation on complex assembly tasks demonstrates that our algorithm effectively guides robots to rapidly and precisely accomplish fine manipulation in challenging scenarios, significantly advancing robot intelligence for precision tasks.

  We propose an adaptive multi-agent planning framework, termed REMAC, that enables efficient, scene-agnostic multi-robot long-horizon task planning and execution. ReMAC incorporates two key modules: a self-reflection module performing pre-conditions and post-condition checks in the loop to evaluate progress and refine plans, and a self-evolvement module dynamically adapting plans based on scene-specific reasoning.

  Development of MLLMs for real-world robots is challenging due to the typically limited computation and memory capacities available on robotic platforms. We propose a Dynamic Early-Exit Framework for Robotic Vision-Language-Action Model (DeeR) that automatically adjusts the size of the activated MLLM. DeeR demonstrates significant reductions in computational costs of LLM by 5.2-6.5x and GPU memory of LLM by 2-6x without compromising performance.
