TL;DR

MAESTRO is used as a coding agent that writes robot programs using a curated library of perception, planning, and control tools and its orchestration harness packages multi-step perception and action procedures into callable tools and guides their use through a plan–act– replan loop.

MotorMind: Scaffolding General Vision Language Models for Zero-Shot Robot Manipulation

MotorMind is introduced, a robot manipulation harness that connects VLM-proposed mid-level actions to deterministic robot control and feedback, with asynchronous monitoring and background memory updates, and shows that a general-purpose VLM, when equipped with an appropriate mid-level action representation and asynchro...

OpenRUA: Robot-Use Agents Are Zero-Shot Visuomotor Policies

Coding agents are extending their reach into the physical world by writing and executing robot control programs. One might expect the agents to use the existing mature software stack that engineers have developed over decades to access sensors and control motion. Yet prior work primarily engineers complex custom harnes...

AgenticRoboRL: Bringing Coding-Agent Post-Training to Agentic Robotics

Agentic robotics systems combine planners with robot harnesses to perform complex manipulation tasks. Recent work improves these systems through better harnesses and external memory, but relies on powerful closed-source models as planners and does not improve the planners'own capabilities. In contrast, coding agents ha...

From VLM Planners to Robotic Agents: Self-Evolving Harnesses for History-Dependent Manipulation

Vision-language-action (VLA) models achieve strong performance across embodied manipulation tasks by unifying visual understanding, language conditioning, and action generation. However, long-horizon tasks can involve non-Markovian dependencies: successful decisions may require retaining task progress and past interact...

RobotWorld: Benchmarking Multimodal Agents for Robot Use Across Diverse Tasks and Embodiments

General-purpose agents increasingly write code, use tools, and complete complex digital tasks, raising the question of how far these capabilities carry into the physical world. To investigate this, we introduce RobotWorld, a challenging simulation testbed for robot use: turning instructions and observations into physic...
