Ludi${}_{\scriptscriptstyle 0.1}$: An Agentic System for Socially Intelligent Robots
Robot foundation models have substantially advanced perception and control, but natural human-robot collaboration requires more than executing isolated commands. A robot must recognize ambiguity, maintain context across turns, communicate its intentions, and revise ongoing behavior as the user's intent changes. We present $\scriptstyle\mathsf{Ludi}_{\scriptscriptstyle 0.1}$, an agentic system for socially intelligent robots that integrates interactive speech, multimodal reasoning, memory, navigation, and learned manipulation. Its decision-making core is a fine-tuned vision-language model trained on multi-turn interaction traces spanning ambiguous requests, clarifications, corrections, interruptions, mixed social and task dialogue, and multi-step tasks. A purpose-built harness manages the model-tool interaction loop, while specialized navigation and manipulation policies execute physical skills. Ludi${}_{\scriptscriptstyle 0.1}$ demonstrates a practical path toward fluid human-robot collaboration today while producing the multimodal interaction traces needed to develop a more deeply integrated foundation model for robots and people.
