• Abstract: Coordinating heterogeneous robot fleets to achieve multiple goals is challenging in multi-robot systems. We introduce an open-source and extensible framework for centralized multi-robot task planning and scheduling that leverages LLMs to enable fleets of heterogeneous robots to accomplish multiple tasks. RobotFleet provides abstractions for planning, scheduling, and execution across robots deployed as containerized services to simplify fleet scaling and management. The framework maintains a shared declarative world state and two-way communication for task execution and replanning. By modularizing each layer of the autonomy stack and using LLMs for open-world reasoning, RobotFleet lowers the barrier to building scalable multi-robot systems. The code can be found here: https://github.com/therohangupta/robot-fleet.

  We introduce RACAS (Robot-Agnostic Control via Agentic Systems), a cooperative agentic architecture in which three modules communicate exclusively through natural language to provide closed-loop robot control.<n> RACAS requires only a natural language description of the robot, a definition of available actions, and a task specification; no source code, model weights, or reward functions need to be modified to move between platforms.<n>We evaluate RACAS on several tasks using a wheeled ground robot, a recently published novel multi-jointed robotic limb, and an underwater vehicle. RACAS consistently solved all assigned tasks across these radically different platforms, demonstrating the potential
