Persistent LLM Orchestration of Heterogeneous Robot Teams via Partial Delegation to Multi-Agent Protocols

Maria G. Mendoza, Victoria M. Tuck, Zachary Ravichandran +2

Natural language specifications let non-expert users task robot teams, and large language models (LLMs) have recently proven effective at grounding such semantic specifications int…

Actively Resolving Contextual Uncertainty for Underspecified Tasks in Natural Language

Zachary Ravichandran, Jonathan Diller, Fernando Cladera +3

Foundation models provide robots with the ability to interpret natural language and reason about environmental context, yet most language-conditioned policies assume that goals are…

Heterogeneous Robot Collaboration in Unstructured Environments with Grounded Generative Intelligence

Zachary Ravichandran, Fernando Cladera, Ankit Prabhu +6

While heterogeneous teams have typically been designed for well-specified missions with known semantics, generative intelligence, i.e., large language models (LLMs) and vision lang…

Distilling On-device Language Models for Robot Planning with Minimal Human Intervention

Zachary Ravichandran, Ignacio Hounie, Fernando Cladera +3

Large language models (LLMs) provide robots with powerful contextual reasoning abilities and a natural human interface. Yet, current LLM-enabled robots typically depend on cloud-ho…

Deploying Foundation Model-Enabled Air and Ground Robots in the Field: Challenges and Opportunities

Zachary Ravichandran, Fernando Cladera, Jason Hughes +5

The integration of foundation models (FMs) into robotics has enabled robots to understand natural language and reason about the semantics in their environments. However, existing F…

Air-Ground Collaboration for Language-Specified Missions in Unknown Environments

Fernando Cladera, Zachary Ravichandran, Jason Hughes +6

As autonomous robotic systems become increasingly mature, users will want to specify missions at the level of intent rather than in low-level detail. Language is an expressive and…

SPINE: Online Semantic Planning for Missions with Incomplete Natural Language Specifications in Unstructured Environments

Zachary Ravichandran, Varun Murali, Mariliza Tzes +2

As robots become increasingly capable, users will want to describe high-level missions and have robots infer the relevant details. Because pre-built maps are difficult to obtain in…

Safe MPC Alignment with Human Directional Feedback

Zhixian Xie, Wenlong Zhang, Yi Ren +3

In safety-critical robot planning or control, manually specifying safety constraints or learning them from demonstrations can be challenging. In this article, we propose a certifia…
